You are standing in front of Colossal Cave.
Suddenly, a strange, rhythmic pulsing fills the air. You realize it is not the sound of the earth breathing, but your alarm clock. It is Monday morning. You are lying in bed, and a Sprint Planning Meeting looms in two hours.

> FUCK
OK

You close your eyes. You are standing in front of Colossal Cave.

> GO IN
OK

The grate is locked.

> UNLOCK
OK

You need a Jira ticket to proceed.

@Russssty ha haaa. It’s Monday. That’s it.

But in putting up with that cult you have a choice, actually. Escape ceremonies, come back to the real world. There are many other (more) teams out here who can do great job without kindergarden theatre.
Treating you as a responsible adult.

@alextoth Exactly. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. It’s frustrating when these frameworks turn into Agile for the sake of Agile, especially with bloated things like SAFe or retrospectives that feel like elementary school. Every project has its own DNA. You can’t just copy-paste a template and expect it to work. I’m a Kanban fan myself, but the dream is a team that evolves its own rules based on what actually ships.
