Interpersonal Consulting

Before we start...

How effective is this relationship?

Meet the delegates

Ann OtherClient PM

Joe WhistlerConsultant

They were to meet today.

Hi Joe! Nice to meet you!

Hi Nicole! How’re you?

The name’s Ann!

Oh, is it? Well, I can’t wait to build my

next open source tool!

Open Source?(Grumble)

Anyway, let’s start. You know about our

project?

Yup! You’re not agile enough.

And we do Agile!

Hmmph... not agile enough? I just want my project

done.

Yup! We’ll show you how its done!

I don’t want any cowboy coding...

Not a happy consultant

On my last project we did..

Pair programming

Test Driven Development

Continuous Integration

Constantly Refactored

...and ran Iteration Planning

Meetings

The last project was a success...

so you’ll have to do these too.

I don’t think this is a good idea...

Pair Programming. We tried it and

hated it?

We prefer having structure to our

work.

Going Agile really won’t help.

What next?

Let’s start with User Stories.

All your documents are a

waste.

Stop writing them!

User Stories? My analysts know how to get stuff done.

Its my developers that are a problem.

Your developers are a problem?

Lets make them do TDD.

If its not testable, its useless.

TDD? But we have testers.

Cut!

What went wrong in this meeting?
