Yes. What I have said before, for the same reasons, is that when the average office that says "we do the Agile", what they mean is that they have top-down, upfront planned micromanagement via tools such as Jira. *
This has nothing in common with the values of the Agile Manifesto. In fact it's more like the opposite of them.
* I hate Jira. Jira is not the cause of the problem. People's desire for a tool like that is cause of Jira. Kill Jira, and it would soon be replaced with something much the same.
- misnome 3y agoWe’re going to be officially moving to Agile! Soon. By which I mean the project planning committee has created a multi-hundred page document with precise BPM-style workflow charts (based on Jira, obviously), and non-technical managers have started being sent on multi-day training courses to learn how to follow them. It’s going to be a shitshow!
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y ago> the project planning committee has created a multi-hundred page document with precise workflow charts ... It’s going to be a shitshow! A Waterfall of effluent, spilling from the end of the process pipe, branded "Agile!" (TM, sponsored by Atlassian). What are you moving from ?
