#Agile is basically project management esotericism.
The smartest people have managed to build processes on top of it that work, the same way that some churches have worthwhile charities that do good work, but that doesn't mean the core of the methodology isn't mumbo jumbo.
(ah yeah, going for both developers AND the faithful today in one fell swoop, what am I even thinking?)
every anti-agile post ever seems to go like "fuck #agile, we just need to communicate more effectively instead of blindly following this longwinded process"
Anyone in #Ottawa have 10 ping pong (sorry, ahem, table tennis) balls they could lend me for a few days?
I promise I won't get beer on them, trying out an idea for an educational video.
Ist es nicht witzig, dass der volkswirtschaftliche Produktivitätszuwachs in den letzten 10 Jahren trotz der ganzen #Agile-Initiativen nicht einmal 1% gewesen ist?
Könnte es sein, dass das ganze Zelebrieren von #Methoden und das Hinterherhecheln nach #Innovationen vielleicht mehr Produktivität kostet als bringt?
Was wäre, wenn man Leute einfach in #Ruhe arbeiten ließe und sich keine Gedanken mehr um #Kultur macht?
@daverooneyca and I are doing a public AMA (ask-me-anything) on all things Agile on May 1 (next week). Bring your questions and get the perspective of two coaches who each have 25+ years of experience.
If Agility is the ability to respond to changes in a meaningful way, a huge part of that consists of the time it takes until this response is in the hands of the customer so that a feedback loop can form.
If that's true, what's the value of Discovery Epics or Stories, Spikes, Dual Track whatever...
"You should connect with your Agile team for 20 minutes every day.
Unless you can't find the time.
In that case, you should connect with them for 1 hour."
