Re: We are doing Scrum... Ravi Bhavnani24-Apr-17 4:50 Ravi Bhavnani 24-Apr-17 4:50  Mike Barthold wrote: the entire company lives "scrum". IMHO, that's the only way to do agile.  The agile methodology has garnered a bad rap because many developers have been forced to follow it in isolation, under the premise that it will magically allow software to be delivered faster.  If your company isn't agile, you're doing agile wrong. /ravi My new year resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | My .NET bits | Freeware ravib(at)ravib(dot)com Message Removed 25-Apr-17 4:09 N_tro_P 25-Apr-17 4:09  Message Removed Re: We are doing Scrum...

Think about it: does a time pressure improve quality? No - it means short cuts get taken, which means maintenance costs a whole pile more than it should, changes take longer, ... It's not easy though - without some pressure there is a tendency to "slack off"a bit unless the developer is both well- and self-motivated. Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay!

Because "we have to release now because it's in this quarter's budget. Maintenance is an entirely different account and budget. That's the problem of cost center 1337 and not cost center 0815" And THIS is, what makes software "bad" sometimes... || You know nothing, Jon Snow. || My Android Label (mbar Software) on G+ || My Android Apps in Play Store Re: I try to give myself time... OriginalGriff23-Apr-17 21:04 OriginalGriff 23-Apr-17 21:04  That's the problem with companies these days: they are all run by accountants, who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. Short term gains, long term losses - it's all they know, and then they wonder why companies go bust. Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
