No designated desks is the Agile of floor planning. Everyone's the same, anyone can do the same job, you can hotswap spaces and people as you replace hard drive

- mindcrime 9y agoWhile I agree with your overall point, I would add that anybody who thinks that "Agile" prescribes that people be considered fungible, has been misled. Somebody's specific implementation of "agile" might prescribe that, but nothing in the Agile Manifesto says anything like that. In fact, I'd argue that, to a first approximation, anytime anybody makes a statement along the lines of "Agile says you do X", you can safely assume that they don't know WTF they are talking about, and/or they are confusing Agile with "Foobar Inc. Fucked-up Agile".
- bassman9000 9y agoSadly, the Agile manifesto is, on purpose, lacking. Yes, it contains sound ideas. But it has to be implemented. And that's where the problem lies. To be fair, I should have stated Scrum as Agile implementation, instead of Agile itself. My bad.
