Hi All, What do you think about the Nokia Test as a criteria for judging who's doing Agile and who's not. Should there be any such criteria and if yes, how...
Thanks Rashina for sharing the link. I had heard about Nokia Test several times before and always discarded it without looking at the test. (Tells you how...
What Nokia test encapsulates might not be a necessary & sufficient condition. But it captures to large extent the necessary part for scrum teams. By dismissing...
The big just got bigger! Â While going over the feedback from last Agile NCR conference, we felt that many participants were completely new to world of Agile....
Throwing the baby out with bathwater may be better than keeping the baby without legs, without eyes, without hands, without the brain functioning and still...
May be you should tell this to Sarah Palin ;-). That said, let us not beat the idiom used. I can't understand what you meant by baby here or stinking septic...
Baby is the Scrum (that we think we are doing) and the bathing it with the Water is "Managing" the babies to keep it clean and healthy (the way we manage what...
I kind of agree with Kripa. Many times we just ignore valuable suggestions by getting into the mindframe that lists are bad, what other people are saying is...
Pardon me, but I still did not get what you meant :( Are you saying that if a team is badly managing a scrum project, throw away scrum itself? I do not...
... I disagree. This test doesnt have any questions on retrospectives, which IMHO is a very core part of scrum. It has options like "Do you use agile...
Thanks Siddharta for sharing this. It is great and captures the true essence of Agile. Teams and Organizations attempting Agile ideally should use these 7...
I should have made it clear that I do not know much about scrum, and with whatever bookish knowledge I garnered, I felt that the underlying principle is...
Hi Naresh, Thanks for your response. As you may remember I am studying the role of the manager in Agile projects and this is something I have to deal with when...
How about adding a new practice to Agile - CDD (Checklist Driven Development)? ;) I believe that software development is a craft. I've never seen an artist...
What are story cards, other than checklists with an item on each card? What are team coding standards, if not checklists. The whole of GTD crowd stands by...
Checklists are great tools for Agile Teams. They are wonderful when they are relevant to the context. To have them relevant to the kind of work done, the...
You seem to suggest that checklists should be created by teams. I am not sure about that. For one, it is not an easy process. Another being that you are...
I agree with you. Teams could use all the knowledge repositories and reference literature (generic checklists) to create their own for their work in their...
... that were say following their own version of Agile...that might indicate that the level of Agility is a factor to be considered in the research I'm not...
Hi Naresh, That was just an example to suggest that the level of adherence to Agile concepts (not specific practices) MAY affect the findings from the...
... I was not suggesting or hinting that. Sorry if that's what you felt. IMO, most people doing research understand that we are dealing with complex adaptive...
This is absolutely true. Everyone needs a starting point. So conventional wisdom and good practices do form the starting point. This should then evolve...
That's okay. I take your point about the CAS and try to take that into account in my analysis. See, the main issue is that if a researcher is studying some...
