Editor's Notes
- #4: Do you have daily standups? Do you use planning poker or another collaboration technique for sizing? Do you use a big visible board of some sort to track status of your iterations? Or if you are using Kanban do you have the board clearly visible by everyone? Are you doing iterations at all? How about iteration demonstrations? How about retrospectives?
- #5: Are you doing daily stand-up meetings? Is the voice of the customer represented? Do you work in iterations? Do you demonstrate working software? Do you do retrospectives? Are you pair programming? Are you doing test-driven development? Is your team cross-functional?
- #6: Have you increased productivity, stakeholder satisfaction, or quality? Have you reduced time-to-market? Have you increased ROI?
- #9: Is agile a tool to help you get thee results you want/need, or…
- #10: Are you blindly following the practices every iteration because that is how you were taught?
- #11: Boring daily stand-up Lengthy planning meetings Dropping stories each iteration Code freezes for testing …
- #14: Doing agile means you keep doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result. What’s that called? Insanity!
- #32: Product, dev, QA
