agile is a ploy at getting non technical people into the tech industry but not knowing how to code

We found that sprint planning is harmful not just because of how long the meetings can take, but because it makes devs feel like they aren't allowed to spend time on things they instinctively know are valuable but failed to explain in the moment of the meeting.

That chad Indian teacher saved me in algorithms class

Sprints are trash. Sprint planning lets you know how much time you spent on planning.

if your team actually talks to each other, you can pretty much throw away 90% of "agile" things.

Dude, it's unbelievable. Those SCRUM guys don't even read their own process spec. 90% of the rituals are hallucinated 😂😂😂

10 years of agile. I'm like WTF is this? My kids plan their 2 weeks better.

The dr disrespect of the coding community 💯

My team is made entirely of engineers of different levels. Our workflow is kanban inspired. We use a kanban board, we have a daily meeting in the mornings, a weekly "backlog grooming" meeting where we flesh out upcoming work. Then there is a monthly retrospective. So far this has been my favourite team process that I've participated in.

Was this software dev?

If I have a 1 hour break between 2 meetings, I'll get absolutely 0 work done in that 1 hour. I need to be able to get in the flow and get my focus up, having distractions like that every once in a while breaks up my thinking process and gets me out of the flow. If you're gonna force me to be in some dumb meetings, please group them together to limit the number of distractions to the minimum. Same goes for useless slack messages, completely throws me off, I'm a god damn social media addict on rehab, it's already hard enough to stop myself from going on youtube every time i open a browser, but it's in my power to do it - useless meetings and getting spammed by irrelevant messages is something I cannot do anything about.

this video made me feel a little coconut oily

I work in a really small company of 3/4 people and we all fully work from home. Every morning we have a standup that can last for 10 minutes where everyone is just talking about what they're doing/gonna do that day to an hour where we have to talk about stuff that involves all of us. Before we did these stand-ups i never really knew what everyone was working on at any time, but now i feel like everyone knows what's going on a lot better

Yes, it's pretty spot on. Deep in the bowels of the scrum factory, strange smells of burnt oil and piles of ruined time everywhere.

Scrum is literally opposite to what agile is supposed to be.

I used to work in a small team of 5 people and we had a manager who would once a week give us the goals and let us brainstorm for solutions. It wasn't perfect but I had leeway and could focus on my work.

JQuery starting everything with a dollar sign, so prophetic.

In my experience Scrum meetings work the best on small teams. Having worked on a team of 30 Dev's, they basically were just a waste of time and all you were really listening for was your name to give your status update and they often lasted over 30 minutes. Questions rarely ever got answered and people rarely offered help. On my current team of 5 dev's theyre actually very productive and have saved our development team significant amounts of time.

Wait that's nowhere near enough meetings. I just took a look into my calendar and I have sprint planning, sprint review, prep for sprint review, sprint retrospective, backlog refinement, stand up, catch up with manager
