The last 2 companies I’ve worked at (one massive one tiny) both didn’t use any framework. Engineers/PMs/Managers worked together to figure out what to build and the engineers built it. The only “tool” was trust and it worked out fine. We did a short daily or weekly status update to let everyone know how things were going, but that’s about it. Some engineers liked to break out work into pieces and put that into a spreadsheet, but it was completely up to the builder to decide how to organize their work. When a notable piece of work got finished the engineer would demo it to the team/company so more people could see how it was going.
