It’s really starting to pay off. I was skeptical at first but first data brought a fresh approach. And it’s working !!!!

You nailed it on the head! The development teams are ready and willing to go purely agile. Product and senior management talk out of both sides of their mouths. They demand we all go agile but then continue to throw new initiatives at us with a request for estimates and a six month turnaround. That’s not agile. That’s a hybrid and a nightmare to manage.

Doesn’t like like a lot of y’all required agile coaching 😂
Here’s your agile tip. Hire more engineers and qa. Problem solved
Fiserv leadership responsible for Change Management have no concept of CI CD and are years behind smaller technology companies. The change process and narrow minded leaders need to be straight up replaced. Examine the leaders who a just place holders doing nothing relevant riding the coattails of their peers and buddy leaders.
Agile doesn't make the work faster, it reduces the amount of time between when a request for change comes in, and when that change is delivered to the customer. It shortens the amount of time it takes to respond. The quiet part is that we actually get less done because the individual employees are working less efficiently, because of all of the meetings.
Check out the companies the agile consulting dollars go to and the relationships of the decision makers with those companies. Follow the money
I asked every manager how Agile makes us faster if the release calendars dont change.
None of them had an answer.
This is the emperors new clothes!!
Our ETG reps ended up living together !!!!
Our coaches ended up engaged !!!!
You clearly don’t understand agile Maybe we could bring a company in to “lead” you to it
Agile is only effective if you have Ci/CD, which Fiserv does not.
HR is posting again I see
OFS dinosaurs have trouble understanding agile
First Data decided to make it easier to teach - replacing powerpoint screens with blackboards and chalk.
Maybe you could set up a "Re-Education Camp" for those who resist.
The workers are working in an agile environment. But how work is being assigned is even more waterfall than it was before. It creates situations where some work needs to be done right now, but you cannot log any time to it because the committee of the elders haven't met and performed the sacred dance to allow the workers to start working.
I think you might require more coaching
Agile is an outdated, broken methodology. It encourages endless amounts of meetings, and discourages actually getting work done. It can expose incompetence but at the cost of severely punishing the competent individuals who don't need constant hand-holding and babying to get work done.
It's disturbing and sad how much money the company has thrown at it; the number of paper-pusher job titles is staggering and is only getting worse. For every engineer, there are two paper pushers.
