Agile has fallen into the hands of big consultants. Now the focus is on process, with more meetings and presentations than ever before.



Am tired, just dead bones tired of all of it. It's all just this or that money making scheme with guys like me caught in the middle. I despised Waterfall, fell into scrum and in the past ten or so years kinda sorta saw one project where agile basically worked right. The rest has been mostly waste. I've worked on billion dollar systems on down to just little nothings. Doesn't matter, companies are struggling to make anything work. I think there's just too much complexity and they all believe IT solutions can manage that complexity. It's failing like never before while expectations have never been higher.

Message to the Fortune 500: Just get rid of anyone with the title "scrum master" they're dead weight. You were fooled, deal with it. I am trying to move my team over to Kanban right now, but we have all this reporting crap up the chain all designed around CA Rally, the worst productivity tool ever made.
