I was originally trained as a lad in classic waterfall and was a CMM auditor at one point - I got SAFe certification a few years ago and my overwhelming impression was that they had replicated all of the flaws of these methodologies, just with the word "agile" inserted wherever possible. I suppose that it is the final representation of the principle that any revolution becomes the new orthodoxy in a generation and ends up as ritualized as what preceded it.
- onli 4y agoI thought Scrum would be more a candidate for that, when the rituals from there become useless orthodoxy. If (since) SAFe implementations are just waterfall with all its flaws rebranded, it's more the counter-revolution disguising itself.
- roguecoder 4y agoAs soon as people forgot that Agile was about organizing workers & having management trade its power for more-valuable software, it was basically doomed. Executives would rather give money to the people who promised that they could get the more-valuable software without giving up any of their power and control.
