Agile Failed Us After 18 Months - Here we go...

On month eighteen, our average lead time crossed 27 days. Production defects doubled. A supposedly minor release missed its window by three weeks.

Nothing had “broken.” Velocity charts still looked healthy. Every ceremony was running on time. But releases slowed, confidence eroded, and engineers stopped believing what the board said.

This hurt because customers felt it immediately. Bugs lived longer, features arrived stale, and every delay came with an explanation no one trusted anymore.
