Big picture, it's all kind of funny. Over a decade ago, I ended up having to be an undergraduate instructor in Project Management (despite zero experience in it) and kind of speedrunning all of that philosophy. And then, learning the "new" things like Agile, Waterfall, Scrum, whatever.

It was immediately apparent to me why these existed, it was because "software development" somehow collectively decided to abandon core principles of PM.

Like the most basic stuff, e.g. Projects have a beginning and an end.

I chose to not take any of it too seriously in terms of what I taught undergrads, and post-mortems like this make me feel quite justified in that.
