You claim I'm "debating a strawman" but then quote the article that literally says they have no alternative in mind (my chief critique) and point towards artificial intelligence to solve the issue somehow.
The only "strawman" here seems to be taking my point about pre-Agile methodologies out of context, and using it to dismiss the entire idea that this article is unconstructive/has no actionable solutions.
- ulisesrmzroche 7y agoYou don't need to provide a viable alternative when you criticize something, this is a false dilemma.
- Someone1234 7y agoNobody you replied to said they shouldn't be allowed to criticize Agile. The criticism in this comment thread was that their advice wasn't actionable, not that actionability was a prerequisite in order to criticize Agile at all. There was no false dilemma here because there was no choices provided (false or otherwise), merely a weakness in an argument raised.
- ebiester 7y agoThe advice they are giving is to stop trusting methods, take the best practices that make sense, and trust your engineers to build a bespoke process from those building blocks. > “I don't care if it’s Lean or Agile, there’s no silver bullet where if you just follow this formula that somebody else followed, you’re going to be great,” she said. “So today, my favorite word is ‘engineering.’ Just let engineers be engineers.” Maybe we need to call it the Lego process. SCRUM is Duplo. Waterfall is worse Duplo. Start there if you need, but get to Lego instead. Maybe Duplo is enough for you.
