You should attend one of my classes. I ask what Agile is and then tell everybody it has no meaning at all. It's just a big blanket term we use to re-wrap a lot of that older stuff (and some new stuff too).

In my opinion the biggest problem Agile has comes from the people who like it. Skeptics are fine. I can show you this stuff works. But people who did "Agile" one time and become cheerleaders and set in their ways can be insufferable.



I'm mostly peeved by the goldfish memory this industry exhibits.

Partly a function of the pyramidal demographics, I suppose.

The ACM and IEEE doing the whole Smaug routine with the treasures of decades of research isn't helping either.
