I think a lot of the themes in this article I can agree with, but I come away with the overall impression that the author hasn't necessarily worked in a healthy agile environment before. Basically, I agree with many of the conclusions (or solutions) but disagree with a lot of how the author came to them.
Standups aren't inherently bad. Also it sounds like he moved his team to more of a kanban style workflow -- which many people use already. That isn't ground breaking. There is still iterative planning, even if they aren't "sprint planning" sessions.

- chris11 8y agoI was a little bit surprised to see this article with him at Spotify. Their Squads framework is shown as an example for larger-scale agile, I heard about it at a place that had just started doing SAFe. The approach mentioned in the article doesn't really match up with my idea of larger-scale more corporate agile.
