Agile didn’t fail you. The process theater did. A blunt look at why your team hates standups, story points, and pretending it’s working.
A good write-up of a common feeling across teams I've been on. When the process becomes the point and there's more emphasis on the names and the rituals than on using the flexibility of agile to get things done, then we've lost why this was supposed to be better. The core of the Agile Manifesto is 4 lines. When we care about the documentation more than the product, and about the roadmap more than what the customer needs, then we're not building the right thing anymore.
