The vast majority of work environments cannot be described as relaxed and friendly (hell, most of them probably aren't all that collaborative). Far more could be described as pressured hot houses.
- UK-AL 12y agoThat's the point. Managers often use management techniques that encourage that. It works if your on simple assembly tasks. I.E Worried if you gonna be fired if you don't make 200 widgets. Doesn't work if you're on knowledge work. A lot of people approach agile as its an extension of those approaches. When in fact it was a reaction to it, by trying the opposite approach.
