> these people should quietly enjoy their Agile, keep their heads down, and stop trying to evangelize Agile to people who don't have (or are getting rid of) either of the above two dynamics.
I disagree. I've seen more than my fair share of people signing on "big" IT contracts that promise nothing except specifications before Y+2 or Y+3, and these people need to see the light. To date, I have never seen any multi-year software project that doesn't start delivering early land softly. And whenever they crash, it's the teams that suffer.
- neilv 2y agoOK, they should limit themselves to evangelizing to dynamics #1 and #2. Something like: 1. "You people only care about billing hours, and Agile is how you do it nicely." 2. "This/these organizations are systemically incapable of coordinating effectively on something like this, so Agile is probably your best bet for eventually reaching a passable solution, and reassuring people in the meantime."
