Part 5/8:
As teams venture into the initial mid-sprint phase, chaos often reigns supreme. What began as a straightforward two-day feature spirals into a week-long ordeal plagued with unforeseen edge cases and complications. A minor stakeholder request can wreak havoc, breaking half the application and causing bugs to multiply at an alarming rate.
At this point, team morale plummets, and productivity falters. Developers may even experience an increase in technical difficulties, often leading to sudden "Wi-Fi issues" as they attempt to evade the trap of another emergency meeting. Thus, the Agile methodology, fought for under the banner of efficiency, succumbs to a flurry of last-minute crises and chaos.
