Having worked on various projects over the years, with the main driver being time to market pressures, I thought that working as part of an Agile team, the days of the death march were over as we agree our work packages upfront.
Currently, I am working on a project that is going all out to meet the deadline, at the expense of agile approach. Though it has it’s moments of chaos, the job is getting done.
This leads me to the topic of this post. What are people’s views on the death march approach, is it an inevitable consequence of changing business demands? Or can agile fight it’s corner and prove it’s flexibility, to deliver to change in focus?
