Comment on: Why Agile and especially Scrum are terrible
Similar thing happened to me. Design and development of an app for a small startup with backing from a large technology company. Gave original estimate of 6 weeks in the best of chances but realistically between 7-8 weeks for iterations and testing.
Start pestering me within days. Daily meetings with management and leads that have no technical knowledge. No one even understands the framework that was chosen. App had to have administrative privilege built in along with encryption. No one understands what the hell that means.
2 weeks and abour 20 meetings later being lambasted and told to hurry up. Cannot sleep due to stress and constant code filling my dreams. Given ultimatum that 4 weeks needs to be ready to be tested. All styling finished and corporate was going to be reviewing project.
3.5 weeks in and there is no way to finish and several scrum meetings a day forces me to never get anywhere. Finished with some faggot know it all telling me how disappointed he is in my performance. I was seriously thinking of reaching across the table and destroying his face. Told them to go fuck themselves and the invoice was being emailed immediately. Fucking administration that has zero knowledge using scrum and agile as shackles. The project never completed in time and they lost their backers all because of this toxic mentality.
Same as others videos and work along with existing projects and tweak them.
