The biggest problem with Agile is bad managers fucking it up. But bad managers will fuck things up no matter which way you do things.

But they're going to want to somehow see progress, and they'll leave you alone if they see some cards moving on a board. Even if they have no idea what the cards mean.

Whatever, it's better than having to do status update meetings.

I can't speak for your managers, but my past managers didn't need Agile to f things up. They can do that with anything!

Yeah that was my point. Agile with shitty managers sucks. But any way of doing things with shitty managers sucks.
