Agile will not solve your problems, but it is not just a myth: it will create problems for you.

Scrums are for where there is no "lead", and you need to know from day-to-day who is doing what instead of simply having a weekly "update" (since the "lead" already knows all).

If you follow Agent 47 (and his "sneak about and kill people, but only the bad guys" games) then you may have it already: GoG: Hitman Absolution[^] - free!

I like the soundtrack and the CGI bullet and gun moment from the movie when he was in the US embassy/consulate.
Hitman Agent 47 (2015) - Police Station Scene (1080p) FULL HD - YouTube (Not sure why the title is Police Station  )
Did you get a chance to play the game? I have tried to play a couple on my Xbox, but they are all boring, and they require a huge amount of patience from the player.

Not yet - spare time issues - but I've played the second in the series, and kind of enjoy the "sneak and snipe" type of "thinking gameplay" instead of the usual "rush in with a big Gnu".

You never used the Gnu mod for Doom?
Including the Double Barreled Shotgnu, the Chaingnu, and not forgetting the Big F'ing Gnu?

How does the people install your app if they are less then brain?
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

iTunes, probably.

Now that I think of it, like a gift, it's the thought that counts. But, you missed the safety future included in being a brainless twit (or Millennial, if you distinguish the two).
They know the Zombie Apocalypse is near at hand. When the zombies go hunting for their next meal (brain) they know they'll be perfectly safe. Q.E.D.

I still prefer mainstream 90's music over 80's, but I admit 70's was better
Let's just not talk about 00's, although it got a little better in the 10's.
The cool thing is, you DON'T have to listen to that music (contrary to popular belief of people who bitch about current music being shyte).
Those people can find the music they like on services such as YouTube, Spotify, Bandcamp and SoundCloud
You wouldn't know, because such services were unavailable in your time.
The bands I mostly listen to didn't exist before the 90's and even 00's because the genres still had to be invented
Basically, everything is better now, except cartoons on TV.

Yeah - the genre's weren't invented yet - like Techno, or Whatever.TF you want to name that stuff where a grinning idiot plays a record moving it by hand and calls himself/herself a musician. The stuff's about as much like real music by comparison as if you take your pet to a museum and, out of inspiration, it craps on a canvas. Movies? the world of remakes awaits you !

Please tell me more about how this hurts your feelings because it affects you personally while my generation is enjoying themselves with dance music
In the words of Candide, you're a bitter man.

Well - let's be a bit more specific: Dance Music - your topic.
Where absolutely beautiful musical/lyrical combinations are debouched into (so called) dance music with a dance track. I was a a wedding and they even did this to "Will You Love Me Tomorrow".* And everything else they could get. Indeed - it makes one sure there is, in fact, a Devil.
The generation that pays exhortation prices to go to concerts and the talentless bastards lip-sync. And the fans (audience) find this acceptable?
Let me put it in terms you may understand: someone goes to the Louvre and put's mustaches on all the pictures - even the landscapes and still-life's. They have taken something beautiful and . . . . well, maybe, in fact, you approve of their new modern look! That is, of course, if you could get your eyes off your phones long enough to notice a difference.

That actually sounds hilarious!
Well, as long as the original paintings don't get vandalized, like with music where the original is still available in unaltered form.
Anyway, my grandpa used to say the same about your music from the 60's and 70's.
The world was coming to an end.
No doubt his parents said that about his music.
Heck, Stravinsky got people to riot because his Sacre du Printemps was too dissonant and the dance movements too jerky.
It was absolute blasphemy and not how ballet was supposed to sound or look.
Even Mozart, one of the greatest musical geniuses ever, got the same critique from the generation that came before him!
And now we see the opposite, The Beatles and Stones, who were really not so different from the musicians you now so despise, are now holy.
Their straight on rock music, featuring not so many chords or notes, which every beginner now plays on their instruments, is so much better than today's music.
It's really not that amazing.
Almost as easy as "play[ing] a record moving it by hand" (and making a good dance track is a bit more than just moving records by hand).
Instead of doing what so many have done before you, criticize the newer generations, maybe you could just STFU about it and accept what it is.
You've had your weddings with your music, now we have our weddings with our music.
Just be happy you were there to witness the happy couple on THEIR special day with THEIR preferred music.
If you want to listen to music YOU think is enjoyable, go sit at home and listen to your favorite record or something.
There, in your lazy chair, you may judge others for their personal tastes all you want, if that somehow makes you feel better about yourself.

Clearly, you missed the majority of the music from the late 60's and early 70's.
Not just a beat back in those days.
Music needed rhythm and melody, as well. You could look those up, but you won't understand until you experience music with those traits. And lyrics. Aqualung, Let It Bleed, so so much of the Beatles. Ballads from Surrealistic Pillow and Crown of Creation. Perhaps Hot Rats? Workingman's Dead and American Beauty. Extraordinary variety with once common thread which has been removed by that stitch-ripper of the current banal acceptance: they had talent . . . instead of promoters.
In other words, thoughtful music - respect for the craft. Hell - they even knew how to play their instruments and sang and played at their concerts because . . . they could!
In so many ways, those of us who do know better can exclaim: Oh Brave New World!. The context then, as know, is not positive.
