- hughesjj 3y agoTo be fair I've seen some people interpret the manifesto to mean "never document anything or take time to introspect", which leads to its own set of problems. As with everything, a purposeful balance is best imo.

- JohnFen 3y agoIt's a result of a more fundamental problem that was present from very early on: at most companies, "doing agile" is not for the benefit of the development process or developers, but for upper management.
- Buttons840 3y ago-- Manifesto for Half-Arsed Agile Software Development -- We have heard about new ways of developing software by paying consultants and reading Gartner reports. Through this we have been told to value: # 1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools and we have mandatory processes and tools to control how those individuals (we prefer the term ‘resources’) interact # 2. Working software over comprehensive documentation as long as that software is comprehensively documented # 3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation within the boundaries of strict contracts, of course, and subject to rigorous change control # 4. Responding to change over following a plan provided a detailed plan is in place to respond to the change, and it is followed precisely That is, while the items on the left sound nice in theory, we’re an enterprise company, and there’s no way we’re letting go of the items on the right. -- https://www.halfarsedagilemanifesto.org/ https://www.halfarsedagilemanifesto.org/
