because we weren't agile
It sounds to me like you were agile, but not Agile. Capital A Agile has seminars and books and you can interview Agile PM candidates easily and people can feed confident "going forwards". Lowercase a agile has a lot of intangibles and can be hard to replicate if you have a turnover of staff. Both can suck, both can work.
I was once told I couldn't remove a task from the board and dump it in the bin because that's not how Agile works, but what could be more agile than quickly cutting out work we didn't need to do?
- organsnyder 11y agoI also use the Agile vs. agile distinction. Big-A Agile is a product, while little-a agile is a philosophy. If you're blindly subscribing to the processes espoused by thought leaders, you're going to have problems no matter how good the philosophy. You need to be constantly evaluating, retrospecting, and iterating on your processes to make sure that they're the best they can be for your particular situation.
