what matters when it comes to delivering high-quality software on time and within budget is a robust requirements engineering process and having the psychological safety to discuss and solve problems when they emerge, whilst taking steps to prevent developer burnout.

I haven’t read the book they’re advertising here, but I’ve found these challenges to be socially created, not caused by agile.

Oh, so Agile is only done by autonomous AI?

In the article, they’re proposing a solution to agile (“Impact Development” or something). The quote I listed above is talking about how Impact Development is supposed to provide those things. That said, I don’t blame agile for projects not having those things, it’s the people’s fault. So changing methodologies likely won’t help.

In short: yes, make AI do all project management :P
