Agile is Tulip!

[CoolCat]

I work as a scrum master and Agile coach. I'm currently implementing Scrum at a bank in The City.

In my experience most people are using "Agile but...." or "Scrum but....", very few people are using it as prescribed. I'm not saying Agile always works but implemented correctly and with the right people it's the best way I've found way of managing development teams and their work.

not seen many projects then have you

CC did you not even read what Lockhouse wrote? Your reply is as meaningless as telling me "you're wrong" when I tell you "I play darts better with my left hand than my right". It's his personal empirical finding that when HE manages teams, they work better using Agile.

Somewhere along the line methodology stopped being the servant of delivery and delivery became the servant of methodology.

As said previously Agile done properly has much merit but it is next to never done properly and tends to be a mechanism to stop doers doing, keep people with snazzy job titles in work and avoid anything resembling documentation,

The rise of Agile is linked into the increasing prejudice against introverts, but that is another conversation.

What's the difference between a methodologist and a terrorist?

Terrorists sometimes succeed.

A methodologist studies methods. A terrorist gets a prince 2 black belt scrum master badge and attacks UK infrastructure from the inside.

No, the difference is that you can negotiate with a terrorist.

You need a business architect involved at every scrum, that understands everything end to end , because people tend to lose the big picture in agile.
