I don’t necessarily agree that things were better - but “agile” was supposed to fix the things that were bad back then but has since somehow managed to morph into exactly the same problems that it was originally purported to solve.
- randomdata 4y agoI always found it funny that where I worked we were doing Agile (without knowing it by that name) until the "Agile" Kool-aid was drank, at which time processes started to trump people.
- commandlinefan 4y agoYep, when I first saw it, it was called "XP" (Extreme Programming). When I read the manifesto, I breathed a sigh of relief: finally, somebody with some authority has some clue about realistic software development! Then the Agile coaches started coming in: "the biggest benefit of Agile development is delivery of software on schedule and with budget!" Ok, new boss, same as the old boss. Gotcha.
