Anakin Padme meme:
Anakin: I will use agile to plan my project
Padme: 2-3 sprints ahead right?

What what? I thought agile means you don’t have to plan!
Nah. It doesn’t say not to plan. It says to prefer responding to change over planning. Which means both happen but responding to change is more crucial. Or put another way don’t let your plan get in the way of responding to change.
I’m sure you were being sarcastic, but I get kind of tired of the Agile strawman and people shitting on it. It’s not a complex philosophy yet people extrapolate so much (too much) and then get annoyed when their assumptions don’t pan out well. even performing sprints is an extrapolation, so this meme gets it wrong too.
Lol imagine having management that give a shit about anything but firing as many workers as possible to make themselves look better. Deloitte can suck my fat fucking balls.
We work in sprints but plan on roadmaps based on quarters one year into the future. So basically we just combine the worst of both worlds.
“Oh we have bugs from feature XY from last sprint? Never mind we need to follow the roadmap, we can fix it next quarter”
Fuck, I hate it so much
Who the hell came up with that? 😂 I’m sorry, but that’s hilarious.
“No deviations will be approved from this year’s Agile product roadmap!”
This year’s? We can’t even make it through this sprint’s roadmap without a deviation.
Bonus points if it’s C-suite crashing the sprint.
