I work at "agile" project for a federal government agency. These people need to stop using words meaning of which is a mystery to them. For them Agile means we have a daily meeting with developers now to get status updates and throw even more stuff on them.
Right now working on "sprint zero" which exists to 'determine deliveries'. I mean they still operate it as they have always done. They just stole another buzz word that sounds cool. Yes Mr. President we do agile. And because Mr. President doesn't know what agile is, the agency doesn't know what it is, so we can continue business as usual, just make sure that our contractors speak sprints instead of iterations. Stupid.
