Has Agile actually helped anyone’s marketing workflow? My team adopted Scrum methodology, and now my life is dictated by two-week sprints, daily standups, and Jira tickets for every single social post. You can't sprint your way to a creative breakthrough or predict exactly how many story points a brand video will take..

Oh yuckk sounds like you have a PM managing your marketing team? It seems like a disconnect in process style imo. Marketing works well in Asana, Trello type project management-- but forcing an engineer work style on a marketing team won't work well.

Not a fan of sprint methodology. For me, it just kills all creativeness imho. I much prefer Trello boards or Kanbanize for the project management part.

Just scored 700 on my GMAT and I feel like a bag of crap. For reference, I put in 300+hrs into my studying, which is overkill but the course I signed up for took this long.

I wanted to use this to strengthen my app to BCG as an experienced hire and possibly for an MBA in the future.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?

Many thanks.
