Each of us needs to act as a designer, developer, With a small team, each team member needs to wear many hats. Agile's perpetual two-week sprints don't allow for that pause, insteadįocusing on velocity of completing tasks, the factory line. You finish? You stop and catch your breath. When you run a sprint, what's the first thing you do when Its current form reduces developers to ticket machines.

We want to keep things simple, both in the code we write and theĪgile was supposed to liberate software developers from process, but (at least from my experience, most of the time) Go into all the complexity of Agile, Scrum, Kanban. I’m aware that I’m mixing terminologies and that there is a vast depth here, but that’s the problem. Identified well in advance by a product manager, then designed by a designer before making it into sprint The features that are worked on are normally Spend at least one day out of that fortnight on “ceremonies”. With Agile, you normally work in continual 2-week sprints, led by a Scrum Master or Agile Delivery Manager, and often It makes itĮasy to iterate and lowers the cost of changes. This approach and modern software tooling, facilitates quick deployments and live updates. Illustrate an idea without worrying about the details or dealing with potential problems before they need to beĭealt with. This need lends itself to this process and by directing our focus in this way, we can build something quickly which can We are trying to engineer a novel solution which will be useful to the people that These prototypes are simple and focused around solving a specific problem. Most of our work is developing prototypes which can be used as proof of concepts to show a solution to a specific While, I personally don’t agree with the policy changes they implemented, I do strongly agree with a (Search The Verge for “Basecamp” if you want to get up to I only mention this due to some of the controversy which Basecamp was Important to acknowledge and understand that. It’s unlikely that anyone is ever going to agree fully with someone else, and it is However our methodology is not identical to that in the book. There are some core principles from Getting Real which we follow as we build software. Our approach to development is based off “Getting Real”, a methodology used by We need to be smart about our approach to software development,
