RIP. Agile & Scrum have been the overused term and overconsulted management buzzwords of the last few years. Any idea what's next?

I could see "micro-_____" bleeding into business circles next quite easily.

  I know, we'll call it "micromanagement" to fit with microservices. done. We're billionaires.

  On the process side, agile is out, Lean is back in, scrum is persona non-grata. On the tech buzzword side, I've started hearing micro-frontends all over the place (think 9 iframes arranged in a grid, but with javascript).

>Any idea what's next? i think we should be grateful to FB/Google/AMZN/etc. for not coming up with (nor publicly embracing/promoting) any such new madness - I mean giving the copycat "monkey see, monkey do" nature of the management we'd for sure get a replica of whatever these biggie ones would cough out like we got for example the "cool" open floor plans which the FB/Google use to dampen down into the manageable range the otherwise stellar performance of their elite workforce :) After having survived and successfully recovered from the [pretty devastating in some cases] damage by the most recent process-first innovation hurricane that hit our industry several years ago - ie. the Agile/Lean/Scrum, the industry has been living in a kind of mini golden age since then - the mentioned big [super]successful companies have been producing technical-first innovations (from which some process innovations like DevOps do get derived), and thus management has been naturally copycatting the good things like embracing of cloud, Kubernetes, AI/ML, [micro]service oriented architectures (don't mistake it with the first monster of SOA of 15 years ago :), etc.

  “i think we should be grateful to FB/Google/AMZN/etc. for not coming up with ” “Move fast and break things” did some damage.
