I like this post. Agile and scrum to my mind creates a cottage industry in banks where practitioners and leaders tell each other how well they they are doing. But is the solution amassed from all those yellow notes the optimal solution and most effective for the dev team? Absolutely not. Product owners beware. Agile creates a false sense of power that micro-managers enjoy but not those who desire effective productivity and solutions.

Thank you Sohail Saifi. This post and the background of actual behaviours is a welcome breath of fresh air. Banks take note.

The Death of Agile: Why Tech Giants Are Abandoning Scrum

Agile isn’t dead, but the industrial complex around it is dying. The future isn’t about following frameworks — it’s about building teams that can adapt, learn, and deliver value without needing someone to tell them how.
