If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. That’s agile being applied to anything but software dev.

Even in software, the efficacy of this system is basically limited to small teams, because the planning overhead will only go up as teams grow larger. You also need people actually interested in actually maintaining the system as intended, which especially from the leadership side is rare.

But what Agile scrum needs to work in the first place is two-week goals. You know, “Get feature A done by next week Friday” kinda goals. Those aren’t even slightly applicable to most jobs.

I’m honestly conflicted with the Agile crap, I can definitely find positive sides to implementing it for socialism. What really makes it bullshit in my day to day is when POs obsess over it and end up missing the whole point because the burndown chart is not going as they’d like and even start wasting time on modifying the story points to paint a better image of the team.

Otherwise I can see how it would improve productivity overall and keep things accounted for. Getting rid of the profit motive would improve Agile as well I bet.

Scrums are fun, shitty product owners aren’t.

Shit managers make it worse.

That would literally happen though

If communism doesn’t save us from entirely worthless scrumlord project managers, I welcome Posadism
