It started well, then it completely fell on the corporate bullshit side.

For example: "Some current, common tools in use by teams using agile development".

This is the kind of reason why a lot of people are required by management to use useless overkill stacks for their needs like docker or kubernetes.

Also the "questions to ask" are typical ridiculous agile corporate bullshit like "have you a product charter", or common forced process oriented questions.

I don't think that listing some example tools is a problem. Especially for the audience of a primer like this, a categorized vocabulary list like this can be indispensable for giving people a quick lay of the land and a preview of some names they'll encounter.

My complaint would be that, "Tools listed/shown here are for illustration only: no endorsement implied," should have been inline instead of buried in a footnote.

Given agile is 20 years old and most of those tools are somewhat younger, it is obviously possible to use other techniques to manage development and deployment without having to tick the 'at scale' type boxes that are so loved by the current batch of web deployment models.
