Love these rants! Please keep em coming I do love the description of agile as a way of surfacing exactly how screwed we are aka speaking the truth

"Agile destroys hope" : you're right... and it also completely f*cks up the whole project sometimes

By the way, that cartoon is completely nonsensical. It’s so far off the mark it doesn’t even warrant a smile, or a smirk, let alone a laugh. About all I could muster was an eye roll.

Just spent the last 2 days 'planning' our next 4 one-month sprints 🤦but when the customer prefers ritual to product, we deliver ritual

You might plan for the ritual, but what you will eventually deliver is reality. It helps managers to manage when they can manage reality instead of ritual.

That ankle is getting more action than most of us nerds will see in a lifetime.

What’s the breed of this dog? 🐶

Chihuahua.

Another one that’s right on To add to this, the most important thing that dictates agile success is do your managers allow injections into your sprint? If they do allow new tasks to come into the sprint outside of sprint planning and do it regularly, you have a failing organization Few things are so important they can’t wait 2 weeks for the next sprint planning
