Jira is agile: do you use Jira and Confluence and consider this one of the main reasons contributing to your agility? Congratulations, you are part of the problem.
Boring Backlog: fixed really hard bug? Implemented complex algorithm or cut processing time from 10 hours to 22 seconds? It doesn’t matter, just pick another thing from backlog. Scrum/backlog promotes code monkeys where good effort isn’t rewarded. Personal efforts don’t matter.
Story points implementation: as long as story is implemented, quality or tech-debt doesn’t matter.
@btaf45 in my case, we as a team could have done that, because we didn’t have management dictating how we did anything. It was our choice to do what worked for us, and it was a valuable tool for dealing with whatever got thrown at us.
Now I’m working in a different place that dictates Agile and Scrum to be done Their Way, on top of a project that’s largely waterfall-like to begin with, and I’m starting to see why people say it doesn’t work.
It works, BUT, only when you’re using it as the right tool for the right job and not when management decide to misapply it as a hot new planning methodology.
