@jt+1jjqzp7m3 Agree, kind of like the AIR function in capital projects. They get status from other team members, and not adding anything useful.

How about Risk Analyst? They are people that dont know anything about the field telling us about risks in the field.

@es: LMAO, "You'll get to schedule and run all the Agile ceremonies ... while you self-scrum." Well, maybe, or maybe we could just skip all that nonsense and get on with completing the work.

Yes, the good news is all the Agile titles will go away. The even better news is you will be going away also so we will no longer have to endure your mindless drivel.

Yes, the good news is all the Agile titles will go away. The even better news is you still get to provide status updates because management will want to know when you're going to get your work done, and you'll get to schedule and run all the Agile ceremonies because we'll save money now while you self-scrum. Don't forget to update your Target Process.

I enjoy being a scrum master. All I need to do is get status updates.

I am an RTE. I work with a bunch of scrum masters as well. We really enjoy our work. All we need to do is schedule and host meetings while the technical teams do all the hard work. It's easy money and we are truly lucky. Come over to Agile and enjoy what we do.

Agile was and is a joke for the oil industry. This stupidity did more to bring the company to its knees then any other initiative. CPDEP was a process for projects that was excellent until people decided there was careers to be made out of being a CPDEP Bureaucrat rather than applying it to make good decisions. Anyone with Agile in their title or expertise should be given a free gym membership and years pay to go away. Ge-z - didnt we have some inexperienced industry person drive the simplification focus. Promoted above their expertise.

Yes, the plan is for everyone with an Agile title to hold hands and sprint off the roof of HOU150.
