Retiring Outdated Processes

Managers holding one-on-one meetings to update project progress could suggest flaws in the Agile process.

Various practices and processes, such as Kanban, aim to make project progress visible and prompt team action.

Suppose an Engineering Manager still requires status reports.

In that case, it may indicate that the delivery process is flawed and hindering the team’s effectiveness, potentially rendering the entire company dysfunctional.

Agile teams deliver valuable software by trusting programmers with autonomy, communicating project goals, and reflecting on progress and decisions made. It is time to retire outdated processes and practices and return Agile to its original form — a lightweight, enjoyable way of helping people achieve excellent results.

Product developers prioritize metrics such as story points and velocity over meeting end-users needs.

Programmers who once favored Agile have shifted towards Software Craftsmanship, while designers lean more towards Design Thinking, and entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs prefer Lean Startup.However, the Agile Industrial Complex, which includes certification groups, tool vendors, consultants, sales, and marketing personnel, must adapt to these changes.
