War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength, Scrum is Agile
summary
Argues that most corporate “agile” is Dark Agile and that Scrum is not agile because rigid frameworks and certificate mills (Scrum Inc, Jeff Sutherland) enforce processes instead of learning. Recommends physical sticky notes or tools like miro and mural, rejects Jira, and prescribes story maps, mapping end-to-end process to eliminate backward cycles. Stories are 1–2 days, iterate in cycles of a few hours, keep planning to a month, and treat a backlog of more than ~40 items as a clear smell.
