"Agile ... emphasizes customer collaboration over contract negotiation, individuals over processes, responsiveness to change over following a plan and results over documents."
I think someone needs to tell this to my company's agile consultant. That actually sounds useful.

- creshal 5y agoThe Agile Manifesto and what consultants peddle as "agile" have a surprisingly small overlap.
- nickjj 5y agoDid your agile consultant go over outcome over output? It basically drives home that doing work for the sake of work isn't useful. It's only useful if it's something that produces a desired outcome where that outcome is usually a service or features that customers actually want, but it also bleeds into doing technical things that indirectly let you meet customer requirements faster like having good test coverage, a good release process, etc..
- bigbizisverywyz 5y agoThe Agile Manifesto itself is actually a fantastic set of tenets. Unfortunately most people I've talked to who are trying to push 'agile' have neither read it, or have enough experience in software development or projects to understand why it's so insightful. They do love to straw man waterfall though.
