Sure, if you don't actually do it, it doesn't work.
For example, you could say: "I've worked at over a dozen places claiming to be linux shops, but they don't have linux installed anywhere. I think it's time to acknowledge linux doesn't work."
Does this mean that agile itself is bad? No, it can and does work. It's just much harder to do correctly than it seems (eg: it takes more than reading a book, putting a Kanban board up, and having a daily "standup" meeting).
- joesmo 11y agoHere's a new methodology I invented (that's about as useful as agile): perfection. Do everything perfectly. However, no one has managed to implement this amazing new methodology in a way that works yet. It's so simple. So many have tried and failed. Surely it's not the perfection methodology that's at fault because that's perfect. It must be the idiots trying to implement it, who haven't actually implemented perfection, that are failing to implement perfection. If only they could implement perfection, they'd see how perfect perfection is! But I don't see perfection anywhere! WTF?
