I'm new here and was shocked to hear the derisive comments about Agile. This seems to be a developer centric app with folks who seem to have experienced Agile as a way to manage developer activities. If that's true then I understand the hate. I wish i had the chance to work with your teams to help you unlock results that you couldn't dream of. As an Agile Coach, my career has been about helping developers build the right thing by actively working with the business/product managers to help them drill down and figure out what their users need. Help me understand all the hate I see here for agile/Scrum. Every team ive worked with has recommended me to others and has seen tremendous success. Either I'm lucky or there are a bunch of trolls on this app. I'm so curious to hear how you would like to receive requirements (full disclosure... there's no such thing as requirements, only customer outcomes.) I'm also curious to hear about your experience with traditional project managers.
Let’s start with the multiple conflicting and vague definitions of the most basic Agile terms, like Story Points.
I beat my head against a wall dealing with the misuse of story points almost everyday...what's your experience with pointing?
People trying to do math and appear scientific ignoring the fact that the yuuge margin of error when it comes to doing the measurement. What is the margin of error between 1 and 2 misestimation - 5 and 8? you add them up and calculate velocity and then shame the developers when they miss x story points treating a single story point is worth something. People completely misuse them, agile mindset needs to come from the top.
Agile means different things to different people/teams/companies, and it's never implemented/used in the same way. Hence a lot of people have a bad experience. Because businesses tend to implement Agile for the sake of implementation, not for benefits or God forbid measurable performance.
I know! I work at Walmart which is arguably the king at driving agile just so they can say they're agile. 🤦♂️How has the misuse of agile hit you personally? Is your company forcing it down your throat like hot dogs at the coney island eating competition?
Didn’t go to the moon using agile, stop selling ur propaganda “coach”
I love how the alternative is 80 page design docs, is that what they taught u in brainwashing camp?
I think agile at a big org/enterprise is a joke compared to agile at a startup/unicorn
So true
Agile development, Agile marketing, Agile accounting... Its like multitasking or mindfulness. Just another "thought leader" providing management with a sliver bullet to solve their problems.
For me at least, I use agile as a silver mirror to help you see your problems. What's your experience with folks claiming agile is a silver bullet that will solve them
Another accurately described the issues. Inconsistant definition of Agile. One group with 4 weeks aprints while another have 1 week - try meshing those gears without a clutch. Different standards with stories etc... Some management teams just leap for the next great solution instead of really understanding what it means to innovate and implement.
Shitty PMs hide behind the term “agile”.

After only doing Agile I’m 100% ready to try waterfall.
Ha ha
And gosh the certification its a scam...you have to go for must paid training and then open book test every tom is a CSM
That's a big scam
Agile - a way to utilize people who are in it for the money. Such people would otherwise chill out doing nothing in the cafeteria.
It's not always just about money. Some(most) people are just drones who will only do what they are told.
They're the ones in it for the money.

It's a verb, not a noun. Do better, "coach"
