I never really understood the amount of criticism aimed at agile by developers until I switched to a large enterprise. I feel like I’ve gone from a company focused on delivering working software which was supported by the common agile practices to a company which is Agile, really wants you to know just how Agile it is in every other company email, and one where our team will only be judged based on how Agile we truly are. For example, there are days towards the end of the sprint when I’m not allowed to pick up new work and the infinite wisdom of the agile coach is that a ‘clean’ board by the end of the sprint is the what we’re really being paid to deliver (and starting something else would compromise that). This runs alongside serious customer deadlines which are hidden by the dates the Agile program runs by.
