I've experienced what the author describes a few times. Agile is mostly orthogonal to the problems the author describes. The problem is that people get used to that mindset and try to apply "agile principles" to all problems, including ones that are better solved other ways (better architecture, better management, better business plan, better strategic technical vision, empowering technical leaders to say "no", etc.).
- doseofreality 9y agoExactly, SCRUM/agile can't fix any of the things you mentioned.
- humanrebar 9y agoRight. But nobody told the project managers. And nobody has a book for them describing the process for making sure those things happen the right way. "Know the software business" and "hire good people and empower them" is pretty vague and, frankly, not actionable for managers who couldn't jump into code or design reviews and contribute meaningfully.
