I like Agile, but I hate “Agile” (that is, how Agile is interpreted and implemented by the management of the companies I’ve worked at). I worked at Allstate years ago, and was on the team that piloted Agile (Scrum). It was done by the book, and I thought it was awesome. We had a quick scrum meeting each day, and the retros and plannings were only on Wednesdays. Sprints ended on Wednesdays. Most companies have their sprints start or end on Monday or Friday, but those are COMMON days for people to take PTO, nevermind national holidays are usually on those days. That was the first company i worked at which was Agile, and I haven’t been to a company since that did it as effectively. Ironic that it was Allstate. Just about everything else about the company absolutely sucked.
