Well this does not prove we should avoid scrum. One needs to think and plan before jumping. However, if knowledge about the project is small, then maybe, something agile is required.
I’m simply pointing out that agile isn’t the silver bullet people make it out to be. It carries a different set of trade offs from waterfall, and can often lead to a different kind of mess. Having short feedback loops is obviously good, and I’m not arguing against that anywhere.
What I’m saying is that short term goals have to be balanced against long terms ones and it’s important to keep the bigger picture in mind. Scrum doesn’t account for this problem.
