And just like writing software, when specifications of the agile process are not clear, almost founded on a “chose your own implementation” scheme, the result is a big-ridden over-designed and terribly unclear (and endlessly debated) process. implemented differently at each and every company. Just grand.
Just like the very process of software design this was meant to aid, they failed to understand the importance of clarity, brevity, and providing exacting specifications or instructions.
Fuck you, agile. This is not how engineering should be done in any profession. Thousands of hours of my career has been wasted clarifying this unclear process to swarms of people who have no single resource to learn from. And each new company brings a new “we do agile, but....” exception to adapt to, and damned be if anyone ever writes a single fucking rule of this process down, so we get to endlessly debate what is this “agile” thing at each and every opportunity.
