>We are in an era of mythologizing that old white men are at the root of all problems, so thinkpieces like this have to mention old white men as a matter of course.
That we've gotten to this point must also be old white men's fault.
When you boil it down, it probably is. I don't believe for a moment that the reason why Occupy was scuppered by social justice stuff has nothing to do with the fact that the sort of person who attends the WEF was very threatened by Occupy.
That said, however, the article is correct to assert that Agile, as implemented in real organizations, addresses the corporation's needs and only those needs. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been adopted at all, but dismissed as the snivelings of whiny insubordinate programmers who forgot just who signs the checks.
