Agile works well in a well defined subset of projects. The precondition for success are well defined and known, a blanket agile ban is as sterile as global agile adoption.
And I say this as an agile critic.
- dragonwriter 8y ago> Agile works well in a well defined subset of projects. No, specific methodologies like Scrum, Kanban, XP, etc., might do that (with different subsets for different methodologies.) Agile is more an set of priorities for choosing how to build software than a methodology, though it often gets misused as a name for some methodology, most often recently some variant of Scrum (though early on, XP was probably more common.)
- LoSboccacc 8y agoDid I say agile is a methodology?
- dragonwriter 8y agoNo, I said that what you said is true of methodologies, but not of Agile.
- LoSboccacc 8y agoexcept it is true that for whatever you want to call agile there are plenty projects agile values' simply won't and can't work. i.e. hardware drivers. kernels. libraries built to spec. software upgrades. most products that aren't built on commissions too.
