Jeff Dalton illustrates a big problem facing agile teams: Management doesn’t understand what agile is all about. This is evidenced by management’s unreasonable demands, such as, “Let’s be more agile, but let’s have a weekly standup, not a daily standup.” Or “Let’s transition all of our projects to agile by Tuesday.” And one from a major automotive company: “Sure, go ahead and be agile; just don’t bother the customer.”
