Unpopular Opinion in Product Management

“Agile methodology might actually be dampening the very innovation it seeks to foster.”

Why?

  • Racing from one sprint to the next sprint leaves less room for the deep, uninterrupted thinking that is required to solve complex problems.
  • Agile frameworks can standardize processes. However, this can deprive the problem-solving mindset.
  • Agile’s stress on immediate feedback and deliverables can lead to a short-term mindset. The team may neglect long-term innovation goals.
