What a load of <censored>.

Yes, big multi-nationals find it more difficult, and a longer process, to transition into Agile. But making a claim like that ... wow, that's just ... I'm lost for words. As a Product Manager it really dismays me to see that someone appears to genuinely believe this nonsense.

Agreed. Used it in my last firm often enough...........300,000 staff

Do you take Amex?!

I do - but not for tickets.

I expect some moaning git will be along any second to blame it all on Brexit again! How predictable and boring.

Oh what do you know yet another overpriced batch of pre-owned sovereignty added to the pile. The project fear mountain is starting to rival the once fabled EU butter mountain in size.

Rather hard to know which side you're coming down on with all the sarcasm liberally sprinkled around

But it does indeed appear from everything written on here that this couldn't have happened without Brexit. However as Amazon aren't accepting Visa credit cards you and I will not need to cover the higher cost (although we might when using Mastercard. Who knows anymore )

Agreed. IMO he's conflating Agile with Scrum, which ignores the fact that there are plenty of other proven Agile methodologies that work well with larger firms and projects.

In fact, Amazon is probably a prime example of the exact opposite of what that deluded individual was trying to say: they're actually very agile, probably more so than a lot of minnows because they have the capability to do a lot more in terms of data science and the like to drive their agility: https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevedenning/2019/06/02/how-amazon-became-agile/?sh=2564269f31aa

I only wish that us small shop keepers had the same muscle.
Get offered low fees only for the card companies to add other fees instead.

Amazon have just emailed me to say the expected change on the 19th January is no longer taking place.

Predictable standard big business BS - but at least I got my free £20 for swapping my card!

Yes that that email should have hit everyone's email today. And as many predicted it was just a game of brinkmanship and who would blink first

With a cash-back Visa card that I use to buy EVERYTHING on I took the advice of taking out an Amazon Mastercard.
This came with a £40 credit off my Amazon order just before Xmas and will now be cut up and never to be used.
I hope Amazon gave away thousands of £40 to people who reacted to their business muscle-flexing bullshit !

I got my £20 just in time too

I've now deleted the Mastercard I added to get my £20 and re-added the cash back Visa card I use
