Agile is a true democracy

The Agile philosophy certainly has something to say, but it's not hard to see the possible negative implications of "self-managing/self-policing teams" when they're owned by capitalist organizations.
These kinds of ninja teams can be extremely effective, but they should own a share in what they create, otherwise the whole thing becomes a BS attempt to make people work harder via "transparency"
- andrekandre 8y agoi feel very much this gets close to the issue. (for me at least) if agile is supposed to empower the team to self-improve and self-organize, then being placed into a top-down hierarchy where the upper levels are always in charge anyways is a contradiction in itself and is a huge cause of disappointment that it’s “not working”... well of course it’s not working if i it’s being imposed by “the top” and for their own reasons... right from the start it’s not team-centered, so there you go.
