I don't support Agile Manifesto. Niether should you.

As an ex-Scrum Master, I'm here to tell you that Agile isn't all it's cracked up to be. In fact, sometimes Agile can be downright bad.

In this video, we are going to discuss the Agile methodology and why it can be bad, from the perspective of an ex-Scrum Master. The Agile Manifesto was created in 2001, and it has been implemented in various industries ever since. It is a methodology that values collaboration, flexibility, and adaptability over rigid planning. However, despite its popularity, Agile can also have some downsides.

As an ex-Scrum Master, I have seen the potential negatives of Agile firsthand. In this video, I will discuss some of the reasons why Agile can be bad. We will explore the potential downsides of Agile, such as its over-reliance on teamwork, its lack of structure, and its tendency to cause burnout.

Let's take a step back and look at the Agile Manifesto. It is often referenced as "source of truth" but is it actually any good?

When it comes to certain types of projects, a more traditional software methodology, such as waterfall, might actually be a better choice. Sometimes, the rigidity of a waterfall approach can be just what a project needs to ensure success.

So next time you hear someone singing the praises of Agile, take a moment to consider whether it's truly the best fit for your project. And if you're still not sure, consult with an experienced software professional who can help you weigh the pros and cons of different methodologies.

In summary, this video provides a thought-provoking perspective on the Agile methodology and why it can be bad. It is an informative video for anyone interested in learning more about Agile and its potential downsides.

which is perfectly fine. We're doing programs, not practicing Agile for the sake of Agile
