20 years ago Agile has transformed the world of software development, but today's Agile practices and tools fail to catch up and they work against software developers. In this video I talk about how and why it happens.


Scrum and Jira are just 2 examples of tools that focus on the process instead of outcome, they're optimized for project managers and scrum masters, not for software developers. In comparison with the progress that we made on the technology side with web applications, continuous deployment or SRE practices, management in software development can't catch up and focuses on the wrong things.
