You can&#x27;t kill Agile because <i>Agile doesn&#x27;t mean anything</i>.<p>It&#x27;s a marketing term. It&#x27;s the place in the bookstore you go to buy books about cool stuff technology teams are doing nowadays.<p>If I want science fiction, I go to the science fiction aisle. If all the science fiction sucks this week, I either buy something else or wait until next week. I&#x27;ve already established that I like reading science fiction.<p>If I&#x27;m consuming material titled &quot;Agile&quot; that doesn&#x27;t seem to work, or seems like a scam? I stop consuming that material. More will be along later.<p>And just like in books, many times you have to take the book home and try it out to see if it works for you.<p>I think there are some people who really, really, really want a magic bullet. They want an answer to life, the universe, and everything. And in so many fields, that just doesn&#x27;t exist. These are some of the same people, by the way, who make Agile so terrible for everybody else. You gotta dial back the feverish adopter thing, whether you&#x27;re for or against Agile, to make any progress in your career.
