I’ll never understand the hate for agile on this site.
The process is at its core, enumerating tasks to get to a. Goal, prioritizing them, and letting those who do them do them at their own pace and order across a larger team.
I’ve run teams that way for decades and never had a complaint.
I think the hate stems from so many people working in environments where either the company has bureaucratized their nominally agile process to the point of absurdity or just having superiors that are in over their head, which makes any kind of methodology a farce; bad leadership can only be mitigated so far by processes, especially of someone has to take responsibility for said processes and that often by default is the mentioned in-over-their-head superior.
