There are articles about us being in the 'post-Agile' world.
https://riskfirst.org/misc/Post-Agile https://riskfirst.org/misc/Post-Agile
In an industry where it's common for customers POCs to sometimes span 6 months, never mind 6 weeks, we expect product teams to deliver mana from heaven in 6 week sprints.
Big ticket deliverables just don't work that way any more.
We can't go back to pure waterfall. But pure Agile is also a fictitious goal.
Whatever methodologies we use today tend to be different strata all happening at the same time, only at different layers. Some things can be solved in a week or two. Others in a month or two. Or a quarter or two. And some jobs are so big they are literally super-annual deliverables. Each happening in parallel at the same time, but on different tracks or lanes of traffic, fastest to slowest.
- notmypenguin 3y agoAny extreme software development ideology is at least partly wrong and lacking the introspection to see that fact. Real world dev shouldn’t be subject to any ideology, in my opinion. Scrum master just sounds like some bad management books advice from the 80’s. In the real world, large projects and large teams are rarely efficient and focused, it’s the nature of the beast. One can only hope to improve upon what one has, not solve all problems with a hammer you happen to really like, because most problems aren’t nails
- roqi 3y ago> We can't go back to pure waterfall. But pure Agile is also a fictitious goal. What leads you to believe that "pure Agile is also a fictitious goal"? Unless you're using weasel words to refer to Agile in a way you can cherry pick claims to argue that practices that work aren't Agile because they are not "pure", Agile is ubiquitous and is used in countless success stories.
