Agile’s for Dummies

Peter Doyle

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. 🎧The Agile Era We Deserved (But Never Got) Not a guide. A warning. Agile was supposed to save us. 🦸‍♂️ Collaboration. Transparency. Adaptability. Velocity—whatever that was supposed to mean. 🚀 The Agile Manifesto came down from the mountaintop like divine revelation. It promised deliverance from Gantt charts and waterfall hellscapes. For a brief, shining sprint, it felt like maybe… just maybe… we were on to something. ✨ Then came the certifications. 🧾 The consultants. 💼 The Agile Coaches who’ve never shipped a product but know exactly how you should. 🤡 Stand-ups. Ceremonies. Story points. Sticky notes… so many sticky notes. Soon, “velocity” became a made-up metric to justify real burnout. The daily stand-up became a hostage situation. The backlog turned into a landfill. And Sprint Planning? More like Sprint Panicking. 🏃‍♀️💨 What began as a grassroots dev movement turned into a corporate religion—with artifacts, rituals, and a priesthood of Scrum Masters reciting sacred Jira incantations. 📿🛐 This audiobook isn’t here to fix Agile. It’s here to tell the truth about it. Loudly. Sarcastically. And with just enough bitterness to keep you company between retrospectives. 😬 💥 This is your survival log. 💊 Your group therapy session. 📢 Your cathartic laugh in the break room. If you’ve ever screamed internally during a sprint demo, sent a meme instead of a status update, or wondered if maybe we were better off with a Gantt chart and some pizza... this one's for you. 👉 You’re not broken. You’re just Agile-adjacent. Duration - 2h 5m. Author - Peter Doyle. Narrator - Digital Voice Thomas Jones E. Published Date - Thursday, 23 January 2025. Copyright - © 2025 Alain Lalonde ©.
