> For every clueless toxic manager who doesn't understand how to use Agile correctly Anecdata Of One: I have worked at many places since 2005 and the most successful projects have been those without any Agile[1]/Scrum imposed by management. In contrast, the places with the worst outcomes[2] have all had distinct Agile/Scrum imposed by micro-managers[3]. [1] Plenty of places with iterative development but solely due to the nature of the work (changes required by external QA, experiments, etc.), not imposed. [2] Software quality and speed of development-wise. They're all still alive and limping along despite the horrific nature of their internal systems. [3] Who have always been there in a place with Agile/Scrum. Only once in a place without. I don't think it's coincidental.
