This article is a pile of crap and no one should take it seriously.
> These methods often rely on cross-functional teams, where individuals with diverse skills work together to achieve project goals.
That is absolutely wrong. Scrum treats all developers as homogeneous. Any developer should be able to take on any story, and story points don’t change based on who is doing the story. There is nothing “cross-functional” about scrum, it is literally the opposite of that.
This article is jam packed with so many cliches that are popular with business writing that you would be forgiven in thinking that an LLM wrote it, things like “popular choice”, “making roles and responsibilities clear”, “high-quality work”, “ super adaptable”, “get excellent results”, “intuitive workflow”, “fast-paced nature”, “ finish high-quality projects”

Ah, there it is, they’re selling something. But what are they selling?
> 'Earned Value Management' could be employed. It's a systematic project management process used to find variances in projects based on the comparison of work performed and work planned.
Look at the word “systematic”, they’re advertising that scrum teams can be compared to each other, despite the fact that the scrum guide says scrum teams cannot be compared to one another.
Leiga is selling project management software, but what they’re really selling is complacency to project managers. What this software will allow your boss to do is, instead of talk to you about your project, they can look at how many points you closed out in the last two weeks and then decide to throw you a pizza party or fire you. They’re selling socially acceptable complacency. They say to project managers, instead of doing your job, you can stay ignorant with our metrics, scale, and not work hard at all. That is a very compelling value proposition.

I think you accurately portrayed any agile process I've ever dealt with. It was all about the public dashboard with stats that compared teams and closing tickets and reporting time in a pace to make the burndown chart smooth. Superficial and artifical metrics. I am so glad the place where I work now have the traditional 'plan abit then do stuff' process. We use Jira, but it is fine. It is just a mediocre tool which get the blame for the management's failure.
