Dear Agile, I’m Tired of Pretending (2018)
I personally found that a good methodology: each team member has clear area of ownership/responsibility. John does X, Jane does Y, Ann tests X, Jeff tests Y. Everyone logs their own tasks. We define and work towards a sprint. No elaborate planning, no estimates. The peer pressure is enough to get everyone moving.Managers often tell me that my process is chaotic. They want more visibility and deterministic completion dates. We adopt Agile process.  Now we have long sprint meetings. I think we get less done.
