What don't you like about the document?

Is there a Glassdoor kind of website that categorizes companies by the process they use? That would be pretty helpful...

It would be, until management sees the way that they're categorized and start faking votes / reviews. Then it would be an arms race on who can be the most Agile. Scrum -> Agile -> Agiler -> SUPER KANAGILEBAN MEGA!!!

Still a great read. Probably the major reason why, when every year I cut down all my subscription services, Spotify remains.

"But so far, based on surveys and retrospectives, the scaling model seems to be working quite well!". Statements like that remind me of a North Korean election - "SUPREME LEADER ELECTED JOYOUSLY AND UNANIMOUSLY!". Grunts that don't like the newest management fad / reorg aren't looked upon kindly

A great test for "could I work at this company?" is to ask "do they have full time Agile Coaches / Scrum Masters / etc.". If yes, then I'm moving on

I'm curious: Why do you consider Agile Coaches / Scrum Masters / etc. a red flag?

I despise Agile, and if you have people whose full time jobs are to enforce Agile, then it's a big sign that it's not an environment I want to be in
