BINGO! I'd posit that a LOT (maybe most) teams that claim to be using Scrum or another "agile" methodology are totally screwing the pooch for this exact reason - management doesn't really "get it" and layers all of their shitty bureaucratic nonsense on top of the core agile methodology. That's the fault of shitty managers, not the fault of the methodology.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoWell... yes, but it's not easy for the managers. There is a fundamental, total disconnect between the world of PERT charts and the agile world. That disconnect happens somewhere. If your manager gets agile, does their manager? Their manager's manager? Somewhere there has to be someone who can go both ways - who can be "agile down" and "non-agile up". If you don't have that person, then you get some flavor of "PERT chart agile", which isn't actually agile at all.
