I tend to think of communism as a comparison. Aren't proponents of "agile" similar to those saying "we've never had real communism"?
Both have manifestos.
I think there are certain systems that make sense and can be executed properly but human nature eventually mucks it up.
- jjslocum3 4y agoWell put... Animal Farm is really about Agile. All engineers are equal, but some are more equal than others!
- robertlagrant 4y agoNo one's saying we've never had real agile. Philosophically, agile is more like democracy/capitalism: it decentralises control to teams, where the information and expertise are. Failures in agile are things like "I didn't like using story points". Waterfall is more like communism: it centralises control away from the people doing the work. Failures in waterfall are things like "we spent millions and got nothing out of it".
