Saying the Agile manifesto was void of meaning is ridiculous.
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools - Working software over comprehensive documentation - Customer collaboration over contract negotiation - Responding to change over following a plan
The problem is that the Agile industry mostly didn't follow the Agile manifesto and ended up with monstruosity like SCRUM, which is all about processes over people.
Daily Standups, Retrospective, Backlog Grooming = PROCESS
This crap should all be replaced with async written communication (for quality of life and recording), but each team should ultimately be free to decide.
The Agile manifesto was all about freedom and it was turned into a jail.
