I work on a team in an agile environment where it became obvious to me the project was going to fail. I told my Boss and she was shocked.
“Why haven’t the project managers told me it was failing?”
“They don’t see it coming. They have never seen a project fail before.”
this is so true about people in positions of authority that don’t have experience in the area they are in charge of. This is why historically the military would pair up a second lieutenant with a Seargent with years of experience.
Agile projects often blow up in managent’s faces. Agile is fine for a stand-alone app but not for ERP projects. I have been on conference calls where exectutives cry on the phone.
They are deliberately deprived of relevant history lessons in school which would educate them that socialism always fails.
