CIOs like Agile/DevOps which has become a standard desired practice in the software industry.

However, most CIOs don’t know what real Agile/DevOps is. Therefore, they often get fooled by fake Agile Coaches, fake Scrum Masters, and fake DevOps Engineers, which made them look like the king in the famous fable “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. It is a really painfully obvious lie that even a child could tell.

Based on my observation during the past 16 years’ of work in test automation and continuous testing, Nearly all the so-called “Agile/DevOps” software projects were on the edge of failure due to the contribution of those “fake experts” before my rescues (some of my rescues were not successful, due to human factors, which I will explain later).
