At Cisco there was a big organizational push to become "an Agile organization". What we ended up with was waterfall with Scrum. But regardless of people's complaints, and the lack of integration throughout the org, we still got products out the door when we said we would, worked on solutions iteratively, added value, etc. If all you focus on is the name of your process, rather than just getting work done, you're not gonna get far. I find a lack of a vision, strategy, roadmap, etc to be way worse than just doing something in a less-than-Agile way.
- himynameisdom 7y agoAgreed. Vision and strategy set the table for why and how the work moves towards an intended outcome. Every company I've worked with that does scrumfall tends to value outputs over outcomes of the outputs. The process name doesn't matter, the results of the process should be the focus of every product company.
