When Agile is not enough

A critical look at how Agile and Scrum are often misapplied in practice. Teams tend to live sprint-to-sprint, losing sight of the overall project goal. The author argues that Agile doesn't mean abandoning long-term planning — the Global Backlog and a clear end goal are essential. Some features can't be built iteratively, and forcing everything into 2-3 week sprints can waste time and produce partial, meaningless results. True agility means being flexible about how you reach a goal, not forgetting the goal itself.
