Arguing in extremes helps no one. Do a better job in your selection process and setting up proper paper trails and agreements.

It's absurd how this extreme is used to justify micromanagement without recognizing how things have exploded despite micromanagement being the status quo. Haven't seen a single stereotype micromanagement scrum shop care enough about the consequences of letting a few cowboys loose only to have trouble hiring devs to fix the mess later (because no self-respecting developer wants to fix old code with near zero documentation for a pittance).




I'd love my post to be an argument in extremes for arguments sake. It is, unfortunately, half of my daily work at the moment...


If I recall correctly, "Working software over comprehensive documentation" is part of the Agile Manifesto.

I have seen this transformed into "We don't need documentation, just work on a new feature".
