Summary

🎙️ On the first episode of Take5IRL Podcast, all three of our co-hosts, @Mike, @Jeff, and @Pat start a new series, S*** We Hate About Agile. Jeff Lee kicks things off by calling out one of his biggest frustrations—those all-too-familiar “Agile is dead” posts flooding LinkedIn. Sparked by the latest wave of hot takes, Jeff challenges the narrative that bad practices equal a broken framework. Is Agile really the problem—or is it how it’s being applied? Our hosts bring a grounded perspective from the integration and development side, reflecting on how far Agile has actually come inside organizations. Together, they unpack what the Agile Manifesto truly says (and doesn’t say), and what it looks like to actually live Agile today—beyond the buzzwords. If you’ve seen the “Agile is dead” posts pop up on your feed, you’re not alone. Drop a comment below and tell us—are you seeing them too?
