Yet another clueless manager

First, methodologies are only as good as the people that apply them. I hate the thought of process over people. Intelligent people will find a way to produce good software, agile or not. Morons will fail even with the process. Software development is more art than it is science, though I wish the people that never made it as software developers would stop trying to pile process on top of process and think that engineers are code monkeys that can develop good software by following some process. Process is good, but smart people are better.
Also, it’s not that agile is failing, software projects are failing and have been failing before agile and will be failing after. Again, this is art and creativity is required not process.
Thanks Ilya for the comment!
