Thoughts on Software Development

Agile is not a methodology or process, it is a set of principles published in The Agile Manifesto.

  • Communication and roles are more important than process. Process should be organic and what most efficiently implements agile principles.

  • Communicating with your team should not occur at timeboxed intervals every day. Scrum should be 24/7. Communication should happen immediately as needs arise.

  • Teams coordinate themselves. Team leads coordinate between teams.

  • Teams should work on one thing at a time until completion. Completion should be excellence.

  • Delivery dates should only originate from concrete customer needs. Self-imposed delivery dates and timeboxing are counterproductive.
