I've started asking in depth about user stories, effort/story points, on time deploys vs overtime hours in interviews and literally every company, even large blue chips are stumbling on it. They don't know their process, they think user stories are a waste of time. But then you ship the feature and everyone is all "damn we can't do X" sigh
Agile is rarely implemented properly. It usually ends up as shorter timeframe waterfall with less documentation.
And called incorrectly. We do Agile is like saying We do Green. Maybe Agile Methodologies?
I call it FrAgile because the Agile pieces tend to fall apart pretty easily and then it’s just a poorly planned Waterfall project...
That's just true, not unpopular, just not talked about.
I guess, that's not that unpopular.
Some “do agile“ because they're trying to come across hip, but once you look inside it's (like you said) plain old waterfall in biweekly sprints.
