After spending the month of January yelling at anybody who would listen that The Process™ is not working (and that list includes my new manager [1] and a Corporate Overlord Vice President, who is now listening in on our daily scrum meetings [2] due to some disasterous deployments last year when the Corporate Overlords pretty much took over our department when our previous [3] previous manager retired [4]). It's been made clear (not in a bad way—I wasn't disciplined nor had to talk to HR (Human Resources) about my concerns) that The Process is The Process and upper management is perfectly fine with our current course. And I'm finally coming to accept the things I cannot change, that I told upper management of my concerns (several times) so I did what I could. I think I'm finally accepting the fact that I am now doing “enterprise development,” which includes “Agile developement [5]” and seven weekly departmental meetings (down from eleven—seriously!).
