Are Agile Frameworks Doomed?

Agile is losing its popularity among tech people and C-level. While tech folks keep bashing Agile on Reddit, C-Level searches for ways to do better business because the promise of double the work in half the game rarely materializes.

Many people despise Agile and claim it’s dead for good, while others still defend it. But now, with Agile Alliance joining the Project Management Institute (PMI), the future is anything but certain.

As people gradually lost interest in Agile conferences, the primary revenue stream from the Agile Alliance, they had no choice but to find other distribution channels. PMI is undoubtedly a stronger one. Yet, is it the right move?

Mike Cohn, Co-Founder of the Agile Alliance, doesn’t perceive it as evil, but it makes him sad.
