Bad agile, bad tools, bad QA, dysfunctional ops. Their sql ops said they'd get me a backup within 2 days and then 3 weeks later still no sign of it and we had to go live without testing.
The agile bits were standups before we'd even got anything to do, card votes on how long features would take and I was saying months and everyone saying days, but I was the only one with any significant experience. Lo and behold 4 weeks later when I left it still wasn't done. There was some nonsense around the kanban board when they'd move things when nothing happened, tasks were really poorly split up so some bits would just get stuck, etc.
