Agile can be fine as long as you are allowed to do it as intended.

SAFe has nothing to do with Agile as it takes away several of the main characteristics to do the exact opposite. I always describe it as “waterfall project management for companies who want to say they use Agile”.

You’re basically doing 3 months (1 PI cycle) waterfall projects where the goals for that period are set in stone by Portfolio Management (ideally together with stakeholders). This makes the PO obsolete, because if everyone’s already onboard (read: forced to commit) wtf is their role besides Jira administration and maybe switching 1-2 stories out.

By going this route you take away team autonomy and they’re not self steering anymore. SAFe introduces a few extra meetings (PI planning, Scrum of Scrums, etc) which go against the “people and interactions over processes and contracts” pillar of Agile.

The way PI plannings work is that you get 3 months of work you need to refine and interact with other teams in case of dependencies and timing requirements. From what I’ve seen this hardly ever refined to a level where it’s ready to be started immediately. The stories for the first sprint usually are but after that it’s hardly ever fully clear on what/how needs to be built. Commiting to work with a high level of uncertaintity means you’re grossly overestimating how much work it’ll take. If you don’t estimate for the worst case scenario prepare for crunch time because “you committed to this in the PI planning!!” Then when all teams are agreeing with whatever the gently caress has been decided by management and have moved 2-5% to the next PI everyone is asked if they commit to this. If you don’t you can tell the whole group of people, including your managers manager (and maybe their manager as well) why their plan sucks. They’ll throw up some BS that should mitigate your concerns and ask you if you’re ok to commit if that’s out of the way. Basically peer pressuring everyone to shut up or step into the spotlight. Doing this several PI’s in a row is likely going to be a Career Limiting Move, as you’re considered a naysayer, not a team player, negative nancy.

Ultimately teams realize it’s Sad Agile For Enterprises and stop giving a gently caress as they have close to 0 impact on it. The smart ones will either quit or do whatever they want and fake it under epics, features and stories that were approved by the release train.

Can I bitch about using Microsoft teams?

Actually, scratch that, I'm going to bitch about being forced to use Microsoft Teams if you like it or not.

MS teams sucks, I hate the fact that it has to 'ding' every time someone messages me, and that I can't simply turn off dings for existing chats and have it on only for newly created chats. I hate

when
people
message me
like this
and every
message
causes a ding.

I hate that poo poo. Drives me crazy.

Skype was great. It did two features: Chat and screen share. Thats all.
Teams tries to be useful and does everything and ends up getting in its way. Basic poo poo like sharing the screen while doing a chat is really hard. Either it doesn't work, it works for some people but not others, or the red bar doesn't disappear when I am done and I have to restart the whole app.

It's also really hard to see who's in the drat chat with me, while Skype would have a useful bar on the left side showing everyone's name and status.

Try to close Teams. It really doesn't like it when you do that. It tends to just start up again for no reason.
I legitimately had to quickly knock up a script to kill the process in a loop for when I want Teams dead and just want some peace and quiet while I'm on my work machine

It's strange, I've found plenty of threads online where others have the same issue. I don't know. Teams is definitely better than when it launched. I was bitter at that time because Skype for Business was simply better.
Now Teams is OK. It's still bloated, sluggish, with the odd freeze and random behaviour, but it's OK I guess. It's very much not exceptional.
