I recently read a post discussing the idea of “No Sprint Backlog, More Flexibility?” I believe this approach leads to scope creep and bottlenecks. Agile emphasizes individuals and interactions over processes and tools, but it doesn't advocate abandoning all structure. Misinterpreting Agile principles this way can result in failure, missed sprint goals due to a lack of defined scope, and additional bottlenecks. In my opinion, this is a flawed Agile practice. Agile is a mindset, but it requires a balanced approach. Balancing flexibility with discipline is key to the success of agile. What are your thoughts on this approach?
