Enough with agility
summary
Argues that modern “agility” has become a rigid methodology focused on sprints, endless backlogs and rituals rather than customer outcomes. Recommends returning to the Agile Manifesto and practicing pragmatism over ritual: measure success by delivered customer and team value, cut meetings and ceremonies that add no value, and adapt cadence and practices to each product and context. Gives concrete examples (sprint obsession, rigid estimation, backlog bloat) and reports that switching to value-driven decisions reduces wasted work and restores genuine agility.
