What is your opinion on Agile?

I was studying through my textbook for a test tomorrow and the Agile Philosophy section sounded like a Team Rocket manifesto at some parts:

Responding to change over following a plan
Individuals and Interactions over processes and tooks
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.

    In theory it is good and works well for teams. The problems occur when managers or pms use it. I could write a book.

    @georgelynch I mean, practically any iterative approach is more natural than Waterfall nonsense, but yeah Agile has its issue since it is by nature unstructured.

    I have seen pms use it to be sloppy about requirements and testing. This discourages breaking features down and finding out what the end user really needs.

    Great when done properly, painful when horribly mutated into something resembling waterfall.
