Works well enough that management slaps a “done” sticker on it
Pile of hacks becomes load bearing
One or two dependencies change, the whole thing falls over
Set evenings and weekends on fire to fix it
Management brags about moving fast and breaking things, engineers quit and become cabbage farmers and woodworkers
New graduates are hired, GOTO 1
If 2 and 3 happen the game is up. Management killed it.
That's not agiles fault.
Surely you're not gonna blame the manager.... /s
But that’s what agile sounds like to management. They don’t understand the “it’s held together by hopes and dreams” communication, because all they see is something that appears to work. So why would they invest anything else in it.
This is the most accurate description of anything that's ever been written.
