    The very first mistake most people make when reading the agile manifesto is that “a over b” means “don’t do b”.

      100% that.

      Especially that working software over comprehensive documentation part, which can be automated so easily if done right.

      There’s so much value in TDD and providing a way to do integration and automated UI tests early on in a project, yet none of the companies I’ve worked at made use of it.

      Also automated documentation tools like Swagger are almost criminally underutilised.

      The other mistake everyone makes is “agile = faster and cheaper” . This results in corner cutting and unreasonable deadlines.
