Was Agile Bullshit All Along? Almost Yes.
This is gonna be a short one, just wanted to touch on an affirmation of something I saw coming years ago.
For those of you who missed it, Cliff Berg recently posted this gem on linked-in, and most of his posts since follow the same vibe.
For those of you unfamiliar, Berg was one of the largest advocates of “Agile” which is why his admitting defeat is kind of big news. Especially pointing out how much akin to TypeScript not only are the cracks showing, the rats are deserting the ship!
And indeed many of his posts and agile2.net’s content speaks to my own recent take on a major problem in the industry. A lack of leadership skills, and a lack of managers who… well… even manage anything. They choose marketspeak-doubletalk and business scam “plans” so they can avoid learning to lead, much less be expected to do any actual work.
Even goes back to one of my previous articles years-past where I identified the same issues.
That agile2.net even goes so far as to call out frameworks for their “our way or sod off”…
