Page wont load for me. BUT, this title is the first sensible thing I’ve heard someone say about Agile in 10 years.

I just don’t use the word Agile. Too many people like it for the wrong reasons, or hate it for the wrong reasons. Everyone has a different understanding of it. It’s just not useful.

If I say “let’s use Agile” it’s just going to lead to arguments and misunderstandings.

Id always rather be more specific about which Agile idea I think will be useful. E.g. “let’s build a prototype before we waste time planning too much detail” or “lets get something built and released so we can learn more about what our customers want” etc.

Your last paragraph is basically the conclusion of the article. “Agile” is so loaded it’s not worth using
