> Professionals outside of software don't do that.

What, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, the everliving fuck are you talking about?

Professionals do this constantly. Go sit in an ER and watch the hand off between shifts. Go see any serious manufacturing facility and see them review daily everything that happened the previous day. Go see an effective sales org in action.

The scrumbags may have ruined software, but that certainly isn’t the world.

You make your not entirely unreasonable points sound like the output of a zealot.



"Stand up" meetings are not hand offs in the ER. Continuous integration with automated testing is.

Why are there no laymen agile coaches at law firms, and no "today I did this, today I did that" breakfast meetings in finance, or in CS academia? Other professionals don't accept this kind of infantilization.
