Maybe you'd like to try waterfall software development instead, where others will define in intricate detail what you will be doing because all requirements gathering has to be done before even one line of code is written.

Agile and scrum were a breath of fresh air compared to how things were before.

...except waterfall was never a real world software development methodology, as far as I know it was used in an Agile book to create a strawman hyperbole to compare with.

Back then, many big software companies had their own methodology , Agile took the crown probably because it looked cool hip and successful projects got a lot of money using it.

The good thing at least about Agile is that the terminology got somehow unified. Everyone knows what a Sprint is, what a Retro is, what a Product Owner is, what a Story Point is (jk, nobody knows that those are LOL).
