Pbpbpbp...agile fails fast by design.

The counter from the article is you need a specification first, and if you reveal the system wasn't going to work during requirements gathering and architecture, then it didn't count as a failure.

However, in my experience, architects are vastly over priced resources and specifications cost you almost as much as the rest of the project due to it.

TLDR...it's a shit article that confuses fail fast with failure.

Thanks for pointing that out so I didn't have to.

What's the alternative? Waterfail?

Yeah because business requirements and technology is changing at an ever slower rate...
