Before scrum and agile, there was MS Project, Gantt charts, Excel spreadsheets, bugzilla, etc.
Basically, there has always been some (project) management overhead that you need to pay lip service to. The trick is not to take it too seriously, you can play along with it, provide updates here and there... but still just do what you think is right, in the order you think is best.
- gregjor 6y agoNo question that project management can range from useless to intrusive. But paying lip service and ignoring it isn't the answer. Programmers who just do their own thing and play along with or ignore the project requirements, schedule, users, and the rest of the team are not contributing. They are doing what they feel like doing on their employer's time. Every developer can't just decide which requirements or schedule obligations to pay attention based on what they "think is best."
