Agile is Dead

February 09, 2020 20:08 - 11 minutes - 7.69 MB

#44. Someone sends me an "Agile is Dead" article at least once a year. Are these articles with their clickbait headlines just opinion pieces with no data to back up the authors' claims or are they well-researched and thought-provoking journalism? Here's one, Agile software development is dead. Deal with it. It was written by Jason Bloomberg and published in SiliconANGLE. I have some fun with the author's claims that agile software is dead because it's 19, is impossible to scale, and promot...

40 - Estimating Bugs in Scrum

October 27, 2019 09:05 - 8 minutes - 6.16 MB

There are two ways of handling bugs in Scrum: Bug Estimators treat bugs like any other product backlog item. They write a card, estimate it, add it to the product backlog, prioritise it and work on it during a future sprint. Bug Zappers try and avoid writing cards for bugs and they never estimate them. Instead, they try and zap bugs as soon as they are discovered. Mike Cohn is a Bug Estimator but Mitch Lacey is a Bug Zapper (so is almost every other Scrum trainer and team). Listen in t...

But my teams have found it useful to have a definition of done for a sprint too. And one of our criteria is to...
