Big A Agile is what happened after management consultants got hold of little a agile and its manifesto.
Now people get certifications in scrum dogma and claim we have to follow the one true way. Now it's entirely about managing people instead of about satisfying customers. That's why a bunch of folks left years ago to work on development as craft.
- lloydatkinson 5y agoAuthor here, yes, I fully agree about all you said especially certifications and dogma. How can you have a certification, in something that is a list of half a dozen goals? By getting a certification in something else, that isn't Agile! > managing people instead of about satisfying customers. I wrote another article that somewhat alludes to this, it's linked at the start of this one. If I'm not helping people, either customers, or developers by making their jobs easier, then what exactly am I doing as a professional?
- makeitdouble 5y agoI came to think that the whole Big A Agile and small a agile is also just an excuse to put the blame elsewhere. We can't say with a straight face that we expected IBM or Accenture like conpanies to move to an "agile" process. And smal and/or smart conpanies were already doing "agile" without making manifesto and boasting it at every occasion. What's left is the middle ground wh 'll blindly follow any trend and get certifications to proudly have the buzzwords on their company site, and "agile" weren't for them either.
