Survey Results - Which software development methodologies do you use?

Also great and used extremely unsuccessful by my previous employer: "Pippi Langstrumpf Prinzip" (german description of the principle: [^] )

Translated: "Pippi Longstocking principle"
Most important feature: I make the world as I like it.
How to use most efficiently: Every (cross-department) team member makes his own rules, especially concerning if one´s responsible for some current issue. Department leaders of (cross-department!!) team members hate each other and use every opportunity to shoot each other. I loved it Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Then upper management introduced a new middle manager who brought some of your M.I.C.R.O.M.A.N.A.G.E.M.E.N.T. into the game. He got some further than your discussions: C stands for "Crap" and T for "Torture your employees". Of course I had to visualize those points excessively so he could present it to upper management.

Unfortunately Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

I found some new opportunity and had to suddenly leave Big Grin | :-D

I once had a manager who was given a copy of this book, and followed it as if it was a bible: The Art of Headless Chicken Management: Amazon.co.uk: Elly Brewer, Mark Edwards: 9781854180117: Books[^]

I left at the first opportunity (I applied for redundancy, and fought to get it).

spaghetti method works for me. I just start writing code and then, after a day or 2, take a look at what was wanted. Smile | :)

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
