This article hurts. I'm currently contracting with a large company and they said they were agile. The only agile thing about them is their cultic insistence on two week sprints and retros, other than that, the project rots from within. Case in point: team I work in takes care of all the web front end. One team needed some web work but then management came thundering down to us demanding that we finish another module because someone opened their mouth and over delivered, now it's time to save someone's hide.

Imagine having one team yell at you while management yells at you. Oh, and did I mention that management wanted 100% feature complete on a module that was 30% done? Genius.

After reading this, my liver was like "oh sh that hurts."

Question: Did you mean over-promised (vice over-delivered)? If the latter, could you please explain what you meant? Sorry if I'm missing the obvious; I'm not a dev.
