I went from a company which adopted agile after I joined, to an older company which has never adopted agile.
My current take is that without agile, there's no process to improve. Well, yes, but not on a bi-weekly basis.
We are grown-ups, things work, brokenness gets raised when needed and there's no heavy process crushing people to fix.
- woutr_be 4y agoI do agree with you, and it’s not that I hate agile, I actually think it’s a great way of working, if you allow teams to change what it means to work agile. However, more often than not, those agile coaches or scrum masters follow to handbook, without allowing real world experiences to change the process.
- Viliam1234 4y agoIn my experience, they don't even follow the handbook, but rather the management's decisions about which parts of "agile" we want (Jira tickets, daily meetings) and which parts can be ignored (retrospective, having no long-term deadlines).
