Scrum, XP, Management and the Ethics of Agile Software Development

Oops… learning lessons over and over

Here are agile software development mistakes that kick my ass whenever I let them:

  • Know the assumptions in plans. Recognize when they change.
  • Don’t abuse time boxing. It is a toe hold for over-committing. When the time box ends, the work ends.
  • Doing Scrum means DOING SCRUM. Sloppy backlog. No Scrum. No Product Owner. No Scrum.
  • No iteration boundaries and no commitment doesn’t make me “lean”.
