@FalkAppel @redezem You're not wrong, but you might as well argue that true communism has never been tried when so many of us are working in the agile equivalent of Stalin's USSR. The presence of the word "scrum" on there is a dead giveaway about the kind of "agile" it's talking about: endless "ceremonies" pointlessly taking up time, more planning than doing, and more managers than implementers. 4 comments
@threedaymonk @redezem so the agile stuff was really tried and I was there. I worked multiple in really #agile teams in the past and it was awesome. One was selfmanaged in a way that we even did the hiring when we needed new colleagues. (Boss was only asked to support with the paperwork) In another we "hacked" the surrounding bigger project by "We deliver you don't need to understand how" approach. Very different in each team, but always great. @threedaymonk @FalkAppel @redezem it's one of those things, ime if a company wants to do taylorism they're gonna do taylorism and dress it up as whatever is trendy. doesn't make it not taylorism just because they call it "agile"  @threedaymonk @FalkAppel @redezem The communism is dead on target. It's instructive, when mired an an Agile Scrum Retrospective Standup, to reflect on the actual original Agile Manifesto, which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of all that stuff. |

@FalkAppel @redezem I've worked in genuinely agile projects back before the management consultancy blob consumed it, and it was very different, but I don't see much of that around these days.
