I dunno, sometimes going back to waterfall sounds kind of nice. I'm tired of the lack of direction, the attention-deficit school of project management where every 3 months there is some new starry-eyed vision we all chase after. I know this means my company is "doing agile wrong" and all that shit, I just would rather be on a slow train wreck than a fast one.
The problem is that business conditions do change that fast.
However for a lot of small companies it is better than what they had before, regarding consistent direction. Lots of startups change scope or features daily and are in a constant state of panic.
Having a fixed two/one week sprint provides same restspite for developers. But still allowing feature and priorities to be changed after each sprint.
That's what I thought for a while too, but most everything I have made in the last 2-3 years got shoved in a ditch. We're not responding to the market, we're just flailing around trying different dumb stuff.
