In this episode of the Arguing Agile podcast, we dive deep into the corrosive nature of excessive planning in software development organizations.

Discover how the tyranny of plans can stifle innovation, hinder adaptability, and lead to project failures. We explore the cognitive dissonance that often plagues leadership when plans inevitably clash with market realities.

Join us as we discuss strategies for dealing with uncertainty, the pitfalls of Taylorism in modern work culture, and the importance of flexible budgeting in agile environments. Learn how to recognize pathological organizational patterns and navigate the challenges of working with narcissistic leaders.

Whether you're a product manager, agile coach, or software development leader, this podcast will equip you with valuable insights to help you break free from the tyranny of plans and foster a more adaptive, resilient organization.
