Agile software development bases on four core values (paraphrased to make them more drastic but not change them in their meaning):

  • Proper tools are not important
  • Documentation is irrelevant
  • Don’t have a contract to adhere to
  • Do not follow any plans

I am not surprised that this fails miserably.

I understand the frustration; almost nowhere does agile "right". However, this is a gross misrepresentation of the philosophy.

Specifically it leaves out and ignores this very important part:

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

As seen on agilemanifesto.org

The base philosophy is meant to remind us what we are here to do: make software (or whatever project we're working on), not become dogmatic about processes or tools or get bogged down in peripheral documentation.
