Haha. Carsten I knew you'd jump in on this!

I think the premise of agile is well intentioned. It just has morphed into a way for technology teams to insulate themselves from management and protect each others employment. Both of these things are necessary but not at the expense of the business aka pace etc.

The product decision making process is imo a creative one. Agile's methods for quantifying unknowns and the assignment of value via it's prioritization matrix seems antiquated now.

I just think about the math of the number of roles that develop + design / all.

I do agree with you!
As Agile adoption has grown, so has the problems.

We are seeing some decent success in the smaller company I work for. The Product Owner is on also on the Product Support Director so most new features are actually needed and we encourage free thinking when approaching some problems.

Great summary -- thank you!
I have 2 websites with them already.
Hoping to cancel all the legacy overpriced BS vendors and make the full switch.
--- most of the expensive crap breaks anyway, so what's the difference, lol. (maybe keep vauto)
--- and customer service is non-existant - You Are On Your Own to figure things out, as usual.
