Projects, Projects…..

Listening to a podcast with Jared Richardson the author of “Ship It!” I actually own this book but have not read it yet. The biggest concepts he seems to focus on are continuous integration and test automation.  Knowing the state of your project at any given state is key and with those two things working, you will always know.

Parts of this conversation seem to be focused on Scrum principles. Daily meetings where you look at what you did today, what you will do tomorrow and what is standing in your way. The feature lists which are prioritized by a team lead and are the only things you are allowed to work on during any given iteration, sprint, etc.

All of this is starting to make real sense to me. I have not heard any anti-agilists. Just people who are resistant to change. We have our challenges in adapting it here. Should be interesting. More to come on this.
