I hate "agile".
Would love to try agile some day. Never worked anywhere that actually did agile though - lots of places with bits and pieces. So many scrum masters, standup meetings, T-shirt sizing, kanban boards... but never full agile.
Starting to think it's a myth.
- keyle 4y agoIt is not a myth but it is quite rare. Either you have incompetent management, or incompetent development, or both, which will make it impossible. Agile only works with trust, trust that every level of the organisation is experienced, focused and aligned. Most organisations end up bastardising it because that's not the case.
- l0b0 4y agoTrust is absolutely core to an agile workplace. If everyone's busy covering their own ass nothing impactful really gets done, and "feedback" is just everybody saying nothing because they don't dare disagree.
- l0b0 4y agoIt's not a myth, but I don't think there's any easy way to tell whether you'll be working with someone who actually knows it within the interview cycle. I got my first real taste of both TDD and Agile from a tiny startup, and it was the fastest and most impactful learning period of my career.
