The (Fr)Agile Industrial Complex

With 65 percent of projects adopting Agile practices failing to be delivered on time, it’s time to question Agile’s cult following. — Dr. Junade Ali

The Register spoke with Jon Kern about the current state of Agile: https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/16/

Today I’ll be touching on another example of missing full-kit. That is when you start work without having everything to be able to complete work.


Key points:

  • Where did Agile ever mentioned that you should start work with unclear requirements (not full-kit)?
  • “Projects with clear documented requirements were 97% more likely to succeed.”
  • Yes, it’s just covering whether a project succeeds or not.
  • We don’t even dream about due date performance nor shorter lead time. —?Doesn’t that tell us something about the current state?

=> Assess your state of work-flow in 360° using flow mechanics:

The Dolphin Study goes beyond this study and systematically assesses your departments individual state of work flow: full-kit is one thing, but there’s more to it.

Quotes:

Original Agile never meant to forego the full-kit. Could it be that it’s a way to identify them faster through shorter feedback cycles?

Agile practices are not primarily about "delivering on time", that's the issue. People are so misguided about what it is

i just had a talk with a bigger international companies in Stuttgart region ... i asked about their agile approach - the answer was "agile is history - didn't work for our projects" ... now we are back to good project practice - the flow gets better again
