"we're agile.. But we didn't like this, that and this so we're skipping it"
Make me a one person team agile tool and I'll use it. I suck at breaking down tasks.
Is that a thing we can do? Can I agree with the general premise, admit that I am terrible at it, and refuse to stop coding anyway?
Everyone breaks down tasks, in their head.
This is about
* writing them down,
* completing the tasks calmly, one by one,
* adjusting the list, as you go along,
* and delivering working increments, regularly.
Mostly, it's the admission that (human and monetary) resources and time are valuable and limited, so feature sets should be shaped to accommodate them, rather than the other way around.
Gold, my lady manager refuses too, but I don't understand why these people who don't like agile think they can just manage with their own methodology
Agile is about developers telling people "No, I won't build that (yet). I am busy building this other thing you wanted, and I have a life."
People don't like to hear "no".
Developers don't like to say "no".
Y'all want agile, but no body wants to do estimation and retrospective. Just my 2 sats 😅
