Why the word "agile" irks me.

I work alongside tech teams, as a PM. And I see everything through a feminist lens, and I mean everything.

When someone mentions agile, I think, "oh you mean like simpler, faster, more efficient, less complex?" Which is usually the case. 

But in some instances, men especially, take "agile" to be this "holy grail" as if it was even a new concept.

It's not new. It was just re-marketed to us by a bunch of dudes, literally, and they signed it as if it was a fucking constitution. Lmfao:

I mean how male egotistical is this? It's SOOO COMICAL!!!! I don't even have the words. 

Back in the day, lol, before the term "agile" , we called simpler systems of operations "efficient timelines". 

But now, they just added all these dumb male driven ideas and concepts, and coined it "agile".

So fuck "agile", you aren't doing anything new. 

You literally (and this is so male) took an existing concept and rebranded it! And required us to memorize your "concept" of a "ideal" version of driving a project. You even created fucking tests & certifications for this shit, all utilizing YOUR own version of what PM should look like, with not ONE FEMALE IN THE ROOM.

When every PM knows that the root cause of issues in the project is usually the project itself and all the owners of all the pieces of the project, not the process.

We're definitely there to drive it along, and organize it as best as possible. But if people aren't doing their job well, then they aren't doing their job well. lol.
