Agile won the war but lost the peace
Sprints are where all of the issues with agile really come from. Constant arbitrary, meaningless deadlines that serve no purpose but create rushes, tech debt, missed “commitments” that serve as a meaningless metric to use against teams while made commitments give no benefit.<p>Everything around sprints to try to avoid the negatives results in huge wastes of time in meetings attempting to plan better rather than actually getting work done.<p>Sprint are the root cause. Just use Kanban and you eliminate most of your problems.
