    FWIW I’ve worked at 6 companies that say “agile - but”. Every one of them pollutes and distorts what agile means and not a single one of them actually tried to be really agile. This is something of a “no true Scotsman” response, but I don’t think you can say agile doesn’t work if you don’t actually practice agile.

    So send out a BA to get the user stories to redefine failure and open a ticket.

    We have to ask: actual Agile, or micromanagement with made-up numbers?

    But the fact we have to ask is not better news.
