Agile is a Sham & Every Process is a Tax…
If you’re an entrepreneur there’s a 99.999% chance you have limited time & resources. You might have been led to believe that the application of certain processes:LEAN Startup, Customer Development, Agile Development, etc. will increase your chances of success. I don’t think thats necessarily true; name a fortune 1,000 company created from a business plan book or business model canvas and I’ll buy you a coffee….
For now, I’d suggest reading “Agile is a Sham” below.
I’ll write more on this in the near future; email me w/ any feedback: matt@cordio.co!

The management pitch is that by getting programmers to follow some process rote you will get good, predictable results out.
See, the thing is, the success of the coding-part of a project is dependent on the calibre of the engineers doing that coding and not the process they follow.
