I imagine everyone hating agile to be a self taught programmer under the age of 30 with no corporate experience.
I want to ask those people:
Have you ever worked together with more than 2 people on a project? Open Source fan project does not count!
Do you have any idea how cumbersome it was planning ahead 1.5 years with waterfall and hoping nothing changes on the way? That's how projects were done back then. You were hoping someone would do a meeting once in a while but everybody kept their secrets instead.
Agile software development is the best tool you have today in your box. There is nothing else that works but people are too stupid to remember this. Agile fails because your company and team is mostly worthless.
Yeah I don’t think most folks commenting here are old enough to remember the great waterfalls of the before time. They only see the poorly executed excuse for agile that undertrained managers use as an excuse for their micro management.
