Our position
Alignment, not method, is the binding delivery constraint.
Agile fixed cadence and left the seams between product, architecture and engineering un-owned. The constraint is the three-way alignment of intent, not the ceremony.
Everyone says
Adopt Agile (or SAFe/Scrum) and delivery improves.
We think
Cadence was never the constraint; the un-owned seams between product, architecture and engineering are.
What we’ve observed
- Requirements-clarity research ties failure to unclear intent rather than slow cadence; Conway’s law means structure overrides the diagram.
