Good grief.. this comments section is a disaster.
Agile is far from perfect but for software development it is FAR superior to waterfall. If you think differently then you either have zero experience delivering software over the last 10 years or you work for an organization that it is clearly in denial.
- himynameisdom 8y agoI have to agree with this. What people need to understand is Scrum clearly states the framework itself is not intended to solve your problems. Rather, it's set up to unveil your problems so you and your team can solve them yourselves. So, if you have a ton of issues while using Scrum, that's actually kind of the point. The real issue is not the framework that unveils your issues, but rather the level at which a team is empowered to fix their own issues. Scrum is both powerful and useless depending on how empowered teams are to manage their own work. It's really that simple.
- Murk 8y agoI haven't really ever worked in a company where they used straight waterfall in practice; it has usually been design and documentation up front with the main aspects discovered, followed by coding and updating some or all of the documents as you go in an itertive sort of manner re-designing as you go. Typically, the documents updated were screen shots and data formats. You can't call that agile perhpas, but I don't think you can call it waterfall, either.
