My pet peeve with agile is it is so rigid at most places. Our team had a bug a while back. We all failed to understand something until it was getting QA'd. We told the PO that we'd need at least part of a sprint to fix it and asked if we could get that prioritized in the next sprint. You would have thought we'd asked to kill someone. We wasted a couple hours debating why it couldn't be finished in this the last day of the sprint. WTF?


This is literally the opposite of the agile manifesto and the original intent and the origins from Lean manufacturing.

Take a look at original agile folks who discuss this extensively on twitter.
