my opinion on "Agile" is that it needs good communication within the team to work properly, but if you have good communication any process will work, so what's the point?
also the whole "servant leadership" role of the scrum master is just an excuse to saddle enthusastic employees with the responsibilities of a manager but without the power to make any real change
@SuricrasiaOnline oh, scrum is a nightmare
the absolute worst type of agile. it combines needless commitment with glorifying the idea that you need to be at 100% capacity every single day
that's not how people work, that's just how managers want them to :s
@SuricrasiaOnline i feel like i should also mention, scrum is called agile, but i honestly kinda don't buy it
agile is when developers are allowed to switch gears as things come up, and trust each other to communicate what's important
scrum is a daily ritual of humiliating people who had off days, and adding social pressure with a threat the same will happen to you. and is a way management can make promises based on enthusiastic developers who underestimate their tasks, and blame them later
