Life is scary
Programming is scary too
Decisions make life scary
One way of fighting the fear is to invent a set of rules that
might protect us
Bureaucracy and Process
What about programming?
Waterfall
Scrum XP Kanban
Methodologies
Will doing Agile protect us from mistakes?
Hell No!
This is a huge project!Let's design everything upfront.
And do Agile later.
We are so professional, let's do precise estimations
We are running out of time, let's scale our team
Why doesn‘t Agile protect me from this bad decisions?
We become dumb executer
God Complex
All knowing creator
We should stop doing Agileand start being agile
We should not only follow rules, but face our fears
We are all idiots when we start new projects
There are things we know
Things we know, we don't know
Thing we don't know, we don't know
We are not alone
Our customers are even more scared and confused than we are
They have less control and take bigger risks
Let‘s walk together
Most important things in being agile
•Discipline
•Transparency
• Feedback
Don‘t be afraid of doing mistakes
Just fail fast when you do
This way we learn
Embrace uncertainty
Understand what being agilemeans
Thank you!
