Agile is extremely popular for a reason. Whatever developers think it promises a way to wrangle complexity (breaking things down), adapt on the fly better than waterfall, and provide estimates so the business can plan better.

Even if your company does it horribly wrong management is going to want those three things still. They won’t agree to take it away.

You have to offer them something with the same (or more) benefits that works better.

And “trust us we know what we’re doing” doesn’t tend to cut it.

So I think we’re stuck with it for a long time, for better or worse.
