No, I do not have anything off-hand. Mostly read, study but do not retain that kind of information. And, actually I can not recall if I’ve read published papers that are as damning as I claim other than being angry after reading certain Harvard Business School studies and “best practices”.
Much of this (agile process) started around the late 90’s or so. My main reference to my viewpoint, beyond my personal experiences, would likely have been my father, Psy.D, Ed.D. We have had in-depth discussions on these types of topics with a good deal of head shaking.
When you see how the landscape has changed over the last couple of decades and see how such methodologies are applied to business practice, it ends-up mostly tuned toward solving perceived C-Suite business problems while dropping any of the niceties. And, the engineers are huge barriers to solving their business problems.
