And the reason for this reorganization of responsibility is what, exactly? See, that's the problem. If you rename it, people won't compare it. So it gets easier to sell, because if people compare it, they might get a clue and find some flaw in it. I am not against some shuffling of responsibility. But ideally, you should know why you do it and best if it's backed up by some studies. You can't do a study if there is no way of comparison. It's not just people though, it's also stories, sprints, iterations, epics,... you name it. Also, everything that came before was retroactively (and derogatorily) renamed "waterfall", despite the fact that many of the advantages of agile were actively discussed since 1960s. And, yes, I believe well managed project can be better than agile, at least in some cases. We have Agile in our organization, ostensibly, but in effect it's lot more paperwork than it ever was under so-called waterfall. At least that is my experience, of course some other people can have different one. Maybe you just didn't get in the contact with the right snake-oil salesmen - good for you! |
