When an idea for running a project that is based on
making it as easy as possible to use and waste as
little time as possible.
Having to use a term like: "metamethodology" is crazy.
Check out http://pragdave.me/blog/2014/03/04/time-to-kill-agile/ http://pragdave.me/blog/2014/03/04/time-to-kill-agile/ for a reality check about Agile from one of its inventors. I quote:
"However, since the Snowbird meeting, I haven’t participated in any Agile events,1 I haven’t affiliated with the Agile Alliance, and I haven’t done any “agile” consultancy. I didn’t attend the 10th anniversary celebrations.
Why? Because I didn’t think that any of these things were in the spirit of the manifesto we produced. Having conferences about agility is not too far removed from having conferences about ballet dancing, and forming an industry group around the four values always struck me as creating a trade union for people who breathe.
And, unfortunately, I think time has proven me right. The word “agile” has been subverted to the point where it is effectively meaningless, and what passes for an agile community seems to be largely an arena for consultants and vendors to hawk services and products.
So I think it is time to retire the word “Agile.”
