Organizational Dysfunctions - Agile to the Rescue
summary
Argues that adopting agile practices actively reduces common dysfunctions by replacing silos and secrecy with daily stand-ups and face-to-face planning, turning a backlog into a prioritized sprint (example: 97 user stories shrinks to three priority buckets). Uses timeboxed decisions, pair programming, demos and A/B testing/exposure control to avoid analysis paralysis and prove value, confronts “schedule chicken” and the “90% done” illusion with per-sprint commitments and live demos that force accountability and visible working software.
