Newage Agile Product Managers – what the **** !!!

These are those product managers who came along wailing waterfall model and now struggle to learn and follow agile model but get everything wrong

One of them I experienced lately did everything is not agile but loved when called agile. This is how he managed an agile project

1. Fuck with requirements document; let’s have all the user stories spanned across various emails
2. I am too lazy to update wiki either
3. Fuck sprints and bloody iterations; develop and deploy daily
4. ARRRRGG!! Why developers prepare a timeline?
5. I am too lazy to manage QA; developer can you do it!!?
6. Let’s not differentiate tasks, tickets, change requests
