When I worked as a PM that’s what I used to do - daily check in about any obstacles that I could clear. Took me a little while to get around everyone but it didn’t waste everyone’s time
I’m always sceptical about results like these. I was told that waterfall always failed when I’d worked on successful waterfall projects with no fails. The complaints about waterfall were exaggerated as I think are complaints about agile. The loudest complaints seem to always be motivated by people trying to sell sonething
Imo waterfall is an imagined beast for most software devs today. I worked on many successful waterfall projects. It was nowhere as bad as the caricature that people imagine.
I so agree with you. Especially that software engineering is not like actual engineering. Ironically that’s the first point of the agile manifesto - is all about the people and interactions, not the tools and processes. That’s why I’m leery about these grand claims about agile failures when half the time they mean scrum and just doing scrum isn’t agile (see point one of the manifesto)
