More and more, some of the central figures in the Agile world have become convinced that Agile, as implemented, isn't working. Faux-Agile (or Dark Agile) implementation abound, and these not only don't work particularly well, they do many things that fly in the face of the original agile principles.

For example, at the very top of the Agile Manifesto is the statement ""Individuals and interactions over processes and tools,"" but the word ""agile"" has come more and more to mean rigid adherence to specific processes and the tools that support those processes. As Andy Hunt said ""Agile has come to mean do half of Scrum badly and use Jira.
