            Agile is useful for data engineering teams when it creates visibility, reduces context switching, and helps teams manage uncertainty. A visible backlog, regular delivery rhythm, and meaningful retrospectives usually help. Story point velocity tracking and status-report standups often become ceremony. The goal is not to “do Agile.” The goal is to create enough structure to prevent shortcuts, surface blockers early, and deliver reliable data work.
