Too many companies try to “do Agile” in a prescriptive way and lose sight on being agile in the process. The concept is solid, but the implementations are all over the place. I’ve definitely seen agile work well, but I’d confidently say most companies aren’t doing it well.

Just last week I had a client request that I create a “user story” for my access to a system so I could actually work on the project. It can get crazy out there.
