Agile has failed. Officially.
Tamás Polgár · Developer rants · 2 min read
Either I'm a gifted oracle, and all of my friends are, or Agile really was just a stupid idea to begin with. After many years of agony, Cliff Berg, a major evangelist of this idiocy, finally admitted Agile's failure.
Untold millions of dollars and other currencies have been wasted on the idea of Agile, and its ugly bastard kid, Scrum. Countless untalented, dumb persons found safe jobs at large corporations, where they merely parroted buzzwords and played with meaningless cards and colorful charts all day. Insane amounts of hours have been sunk into endless meetings.
