Agile is a Management Trick

I’m planning four blogs this month to be part of a suite of “tricks”. This little blog will act as the placeholder for links to all four of them.

• Agile is a management trick to exert more control over development.


• Agile is a customer trick to make development do what they want.


• Agile is a ploy by QA to take control of the development process.


• Agile is a programmer trick to manage their workload.

Historically, none is strictly true. But I think they’re all true. I will welcome your feedback, as always.
