Agile projects have become waterfall projects with sprints
If I had a coin for every time someone replied to these kinds of posts with &quot;That&#x27;s not Agile! You&#x27;re not doing Agile properly! True Agile is..blah..blah&quot;.....well, I&#x27;d have a few coins!<p>I have had Agile&#x2F;Scrummy Agile&#x2F;FrAgile&#x2F;Enterprise Fragile shoved firmly down my throat in every single job I&#x27;ve work since 2006. Rather than actually let the software professionals do their job, other non-technical people insist on these poor excuses for a micro-management methodology.<p>Just this week, I was asked by our resident enterprise management consultant to put hourly estimates and actual hours worked on all of my assigned 20+ User Stories. He said &quot;This is Agile 101! All of the best teams in the world do this! Follow the process!&quot;
Today, he wants me to add estimates and actual hours to my 20 Bugs and bug-fixes too, plus add tasks to each User Story explained what work I actually did. Nevermind that I&#x27;m the only developer 100% allocated to the project, so there&#x27;s only one person to micro-manage I suppose!<p>Shouldn&#x27;t commonsense prevail in these modern times? No? lol :-P<p>Edit: Is it possible for one to get paid just to rant about how terrible Agile is?
