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.

A quick rant about weaknesses of agile

Kinda comes across as someone complaining about how their company implemented agile. The only thing I can relate to is long sprints around the holidays, which I don’t see as an issue.

I’ve only worked for 20-30 person companies so maybe it’s a corpo thing? The post reads like a list of red flags that would have me looking for a new job pronto.

Seems to be more a problem of shitty management than agile vs waterfall.
