      Working in a cubicle and going to school part time. Officially, my company was doing waterfall. Something I've learned about scaling orgs is that there *has* to be a way to give people a playbook and, waterfall, however crap it was, waterfall is what we had.HOWEVER.. #Agile2019pic.twitter.com/roIXcmJvqH

      I found my way into a small pocket of the company where "officially" we were doing waterfall like everyone else, but, in reality, we all worked together pretty closely. At the same time, I was going to school, at night, to get a Masters in Software Engineering.... #Agile2019pic.twitter.com/QrZFTjDVHc

      When I got to Project Management class, our teacher made us do a project with any software process we wanted, but we had to describe what it was. I chose Agile and it was MINDBLOWING... #Agile2019

      To be sure, I spent the better part of a day setting up the stories and the burndown chart, but after that, it was really easy to track where we were and to see what was happening. I could see... #Agile2019pic.twitter.com/qBTjNK7WS3

      How this mapped to what was going on at work. For example, whenever I had a huge requirements document dumped on me, I would immediately break the requirements up into tiny pieces and our team would focus on those. Here's the twist in the plot. I was working for... #Agile2019

      I could do infinite threads on how awful and racist it is as a company. Let's just say that at the end of the 7 years, I had seen enough. Even though I had found a very comfy pocket deep in the heart of the evil empire, I was ready to bail... #Agile2019pic.twitter.com/guPIhcPWwZ

      I found a startup, on the other side of the world, doing ALL the agile. This is where the facade of agile began to crack. Maybe I'll thread about it tomorrow. In the meantime, here is... @sarahmei expressing her views on Agile... #Agile2019https://youtu.be/YL-6RCTywbc

      This is spot on for me! I still have a lot of the same mixed feelings. I went to the Agile conferences 2001-2008. At first it seems dynamic and exciting; by the end it seemed compromised, or at least very compromising.

      Early on it made a huge difference in my life. But eventually, although there were good bits, I was pretty disappointed with how it turned out:http://williampietri.com/writing/2011/agiles-second-chasm-and-how-we-fell-in/ …

      I'm tempted to go again just to see where it's landed. But I'd rather find whatever's next. Catch the next wave of people dedicated to improvement. Have you seen anything interesting along those lines?

          A tour of midwest water-towers with loved ones is truly a much better investment of time and money IMO.

          I think you found your answer: "people dedicated to". Regardless of methodology, framework, process etc..... its the only thing that has ever worked....
