I am basing this review on the two featured episodes as of Nov 2018 and a couple of other partial episodes.
The podcast frequently descends into buzzwords. 12 Days of Agile is structured around highlighting single generic words like “team” from a manifesto. Few actionable steps are provided.
The hosts frequently disagree with each other like they have something to prove. “Well, I did it this way once and it worked.” It doesn’t feel like there’s something useful for the audience to take away in these moments. Examples frequently lack implementation details.
A lot of points just felt like truisms: “Agile means facing reality”. As opposed to what? Bad management still tries to create value for real customers, it just sometimes fails somewhere along the way. To act like those managers aren’t even trying to be efficient, face reality, work as a team, etc, is silly.
