Agile is a Sham

Will Edwards argues that Agile and its related processes, such as Scrum and TDD, are a sham, because the quality of a project depends on the calibre of its engineers rather than on the process they follow. He describes process as "just tax" and says good programmers shape their own lean, tailored process as they work. He criticizes the paid certification courses that sell Agile, and he cites BT's FastTrack team as an example of a skunk-works group that grew into a larger, relied-upon effort.
