Just for the record: it *does* still annoy me when someone writes an article allegedly about 'agile' and when you open it, everything is scrum.

Deliver the right thing, well.

Benjamin Franklin: “Men I find to be a sort of beings badly constructed, as they are more easily provoked than reconciled, more disposed to do mischief to each other than to make reparation, and more easily deceived than undeceived.”
