The link in the post is actually very good, agree with a lot of it. Agile seems to have devolved into lots of ceremony and overhead in most organizations.

Planning overhead is just the worse. Essentially project managers/scrum masters want to turn Agile into waterfall to somehow guarantee both delivery dates and feature sets.

And every organization should build their process around their unique needs. In our case delivery can’t be done in less than a week given the multiple layers of management that demands review time. We can’t fix the review requirements, so our process needs to be designed to best accommodate it while still delivering timely releases and not dragging down team velocity. 2 week sprints are basically impossible.
