Misinterpreted agility has plagued programmers

One day, programmer a met programmer B. Programmer A asked programmer B, "I heard that your company is also agile ?" Programmer B replied: "Yes, don't mention it. it's a tangle. I feel that I am working overtime more than I used to, and I am tired after iteration. What about your company ?" "We are not very agile now. Agile is not easy to use here ." The preceding dialog is not a case. For most people, agile implementation brings more pain to them.

The preceding dialog is not a case. For most people, agile implementation brings them more pain than success, and even success is mostly irrelevant to him. So on the one hand, agility is getting hotter and hotter, and the conference is surging. on the other hand, there are a lot of voices discussing agility, including those who have fallen short in agility.

How can we describe the current situation of agile implementation in many companies? I think hard. When the concept of "hard and agile" emerged from my mind, it attracted my attention. Yes, this is the status quo for most companies to implement agility.

Agile declaration

We have been exploring more hard-pressed software development methods in practice. Recently, we have found agility, and we have tried our best to force others. Therefore, we have established the following values:

• Processes and tools are higher than individuals and interactions
• Trusted documents are higher than working software
• Contract handling is higher than customer cooperation
• The compliance plan is higher than the response change

That is to say, although the right item has its value, we pay more attention to the value of the left item.

Agility becomes hard-pressed agility, and Scrum also becomes hard-pressed Scrum. What's more, hard-pressed agility doesn't mind whether you follow the Scrum specifications or give you a Scrum-but hat.

Although the agile declaration is a bit extreme, I have to admit that this is in line with the reality. When agility becomes a fashion and a company's goal of profit-driven by the power of the market, Agility has finally become hard-pressed agile.

Scrum, which is currently implemented in China, pays too much attention to the formal process Practices. However, it is not concerned about the soft aspects of team formation, culture, and overall corporate governance concepts. In this way, there is always a problem in employee assessment, motivation, and sense of responsibility. -- @ Chen Hao RoyChen

Scrum is just the starting line, but most people regard it as the end point. -- @ Qiao Liang QL

This is an internal conversation from company n, which has been agile for N years. 1) company N has been harmed by Agility. now it is necessary to harm others. 2) The key is to make H useful only when H is harmed, but Agile has been abandoned. 3) I really don't understand how to develop ten million lines. how can N companies choose agility.

Is it so hard?

Is it necessary for a reason to make it difficult? No? Yes? If you have to find some reasons, I wonder if the following reasons are appropriate.

1. forced by nature

The management of many companies are not really concerned about agility, and they do not want to change themselves. They were moved by advertisements. "use agility, faster delivery, and higher quality ." So agile has become their new toys. Good agility, easy to understand, and low cost. That's it. remember to deliver it faster. So ......

These companies are born to believe in the declaration of hard-pressed agility, and insist that they will be forced to the end.

2. voluntary hardship

I don't know whether it is representative or what is going on. the victims think it is quite popular. The "no price increases" is a strong resistance, which is also the mantra of many students. If they don't change, they feel that their current job is hard-pressed. if they do, they feel that changes make them hard-pressed.

For these students, work is a hard task. It's hard to make decisions without being agile.

3. forced

Some people are really concerned about agility. I believe agility can bring about changes. However, agility is far more difficult than it seems. If you try it, you can't stop it. The hard-pressed students are miserable, hoping to find a famous teacher, exercise their abilities, and get out of the hard-pressed situation as soon as possible.
