If the bad managers are outliers, then fine. If the bad managers are the norm, then we need a way of working that fits the average manager, even if you call them "bad". Most people in most companies are necessarily going to be of average quality.
Judging from years of talking to devs and reading books and articles and comments on the net, what you call "bad managers" are not exceptions, but rather the norm.

If your team is made up of very competent people, any methodology is likely to work great. But most teams are not. We need something that works reasonably well even when the managers and devs are just average.
- PaulRobinson 2y agoAgile can work great for average people, it needs less skill than any other method I know. Can you explain to me your thinking - which I might be implying and you might not actually think - as to how heavy processes like SCRUM and Kanban turn average teams into productive ones?
- lucianbr 2y agoAll I said was that blaming "bad managers" is not a solution. The rest of "my thinking" is just imagination on your part.
