RIP · 01 / Autopsy
The history and fall of Agile.
From a lightweight manifesto to an industry of certifications, frameworks, and quarterly trains. This is the timeline of how a rebellion became the bureaucracy it opposed.
Placeholder: the autopsy will trace the Manifesto, Scrum's productization, enterprise scaling (SAFe, LeSS, Spotify-copy), and the metrics culture that replaced working software with velocity charts.
Cause of death was not “teams didn't try hard enough.” It was process that could not absorb how software is actually built when cycle time collapses.
