Unfortunately, words often lose their meaning. For example, Democracy. As in the "Deutsche Demokratische Republik", or East Germany as it was. You can put any name on anything. You can call a tyranny democracy. Does that mean Democracy is bad, or does it just mean some people either don't understand it. Democracy is a system of interaction. Agile is a system of interaction. And one could say that Jira is to Agile as the GDR was to democracy. It is designed to sell, right? And who really cares about Agile? It is a name for a system of interaction in software product development. Just a name. The question is whether there is something better. It is easy to say Jira sucks and Agile sucks. The questions are a) is there a better system of software product development and b) are there good tools that help you implement that system? And perhaps the other question is WHY? Why is democracy supposed to work? Why is Agile supposed to work?
