It's humorous, but for many types of projects, incremental development with frequent feedback (on working software) is the only way to move forward.

Agreed the ceremonies, tools, and general cargo culting sucks, and yes it likely means your product development planning is bad, etc. But living through development in pre-agile days, and 9-12 month fixed date SaaS projects with death march at the end, no thanks!

I get many young guys are fine with that D-Day style development, but not me sorry. I need work-life balance.
