Getting things done is not that hard. I don't need a burn down chart and some dude with a Dilbertesque PHB role to do my job effectively. I view anyone waxing on about so-called agile in the same light as those who speak of synergistic paradigm shifts in innovation etc.
- zbuc 15y agoHave you read the Agile manifesto? What about the Software Craftsmanship manifesto?
- __abc 15y agoBob Martin couldn't get enough corporate gigs selling his Agile snake-oil so he invested "Craftsmanship". Just wait, once Craftsmanship runs it's course he will have a new "methodology" hell tell you about, for a fee.
- tomjen3 15y agoBut does Agile really get practiced as the manifesto would require?
- wpietri 15y agoI don't need a burn down chart and some dude with a Dilbertesque PHB role to do my job effectively. Sure, you don't. Once you have a team of people, though, you're going to have some sort of process, be it formal or implicit. Especially so when that team includes technical and non-technical people. And they are externally accountable, or face hard resource constraints. And for what it's worth, the Agile originators were fighting against Dilbertesque PHB roles.
