Here's a better video than that article that debunks Agile: Agile & Scrum Don't Work | Allen Holub In The Engineering Room Ep. 9 - YouTube[^] These guys make a lot of sense -- and they explain that Scrum is a alteration of Agile to make it fit companies and ruins the original heart of Agile. And, that SaFE is just totally wrong. The only thing in Agile that really matters are the principles from the original manifesto, the rest is people trying to make money off it.

Reminds me of a bus conversation i overheard more than 10 years ago (bus full of developers going for work) Person 1: What development methodology does your team follow? Person 2: Waterfallish agile. Learnt a new buzzword on that day.

Boss: We're switching to Agile. Team: We've been agile all along. Boss: But now we'll use Scrum. Team: Scrum won't work for our project and it will actually slow us down. Any system for working with a large backlog of work to perform, by definition requires a large backlog of work to perform. Many managers tend not to understand that. The Agile and Scrum folk don't seem to mention the circumstances in which their systems may help.
