Using a comic strip to call out all the agile BS
summary
Comic strip Comic Agilé exposes concrete agile anti patterns and the fixes — a waterfall rollout to become agile, misused velocity, teams overloaded across products, platform teams turned into bottlenecks, and ceremonies that mask coordination problems. Advice includes taking an agile approach to transformation, reserving 70% capacity not 100, investing in pair programming and mob programming for knowledge transfer, using PI planning to surface dependencies and then remove them, and measuring lead time to judge progress. Books and workshops show the cartoons and exercises.
