Agile was a good principle used by many successful teams way back before it had a name (even before 'extreme programming', then some idiots formalised it and it grew a whole pile of procedural garbage. > Google invented what they call Google Sprints, where you have a > design/planning phase before you get to coding and shipping. One of the good bits of the sprint approach is that you are supposed to ensure that 'user stories' are only accepted into a sprint of they are properly defined, the tasks and acceptance criteria worked out and there are no blockers. IME this never happens, instead all too often it's whatever manglement wants next that goes in no matter how badly defined or infeasible it is. > i.e. they basically reinvented waterfall... The key principles behind agile are "don't bite off more than you can chew" and "keep making it better" or more formally work out the smallest useful thing that can be delivered and deliver it and go back round the loop. This tends to be forgotten in the whole business of setting up scrums and sprints with sprint planning and retrospectives and backlog grooming and scrum masters and all the other bumpf. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:\>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/
