The most common way I see agile fail: 1
The most common way I see agile fail:
1. A team makes a mistake in production.
2. Executives create rigid, counter-productive processes because they want to avoid future mistakes.
Examples:
🚫 Change advisory board
🚫 Separate QA departments
🚫 Infrequent releases on a rigid schedule
These patterns are signs that leadership doesn’t trust their development teams.
The solution isn’t rigid control from the top.
The solution is to hire competent team leaders that we can trust.
Team leads need authority and autonomy to succeed.
If I can’t trust my team leaders, then no amount of rigid process is going to save us.
