DIB Guide: Detecting Agile BS (2018) [pdf]
Do we have any evidence that Agile actually helps, and for what kind of projects / companies it helps?<p>It's just I note this is a DOD document, and I don't think we should be desiging jet fighters in 2 week sprints. Airframes probably can't be modified like that. So it follows that, within a waterfall project, the flight software shouldn't be developed agile either.<p>Beyond that, I don't think safety critical systems should be  produced code first. We should probably be doing modelling and formal verification and stuff like that.<p>I think agile is a great way of making e commerce websites.<p>Sure, XP came out of NASA, but XP is a specific thing. Not working overtime is important in XP.<p>'Modern Agile' on the other hand cares about things like producing an MVP and iterating, which originated in and are appropriate in a web startup context. I'm not sure they should be forced in an engineering context.
