Notes for agile development

I remember that at this time last year, my boss had been advocating agile development and constantly asked us to work overtime and stay up late. Finally, I went through several brothers.

1. It is recommended that agile development be less than three weeks. After more than three months, I am not ready to raise my salary for my employees. Please be prepared to resign.

2. If no employee has resigned, it means that agile development has not been able to speed up the pace and control the progress.

3. Be agile and try not to be agile.

4. You must be agile. The first preparation is to suggest that you have to add money after you finish the work with your boss.

The above is a joke. Let's take a few words seriously:

Agile development is a definite result within a limited period of time.

The essence is to share the uncertainty of project development with everyone.

Generally, people tend to overestimate their business capabilities (Development and Management) more or less ).

Therefore, when uncertainty is required, there must be pressure.

It is accompanied by a sense of frustration, that is, finding yourself is always worse than you think.

In Agile development, project managers are crucial.

In addition to reasonable estimation of engineering quantities, subordinate capabilities, and scheduling progress, more importantly,

It immediately resolves the inner pressure caused by the uncertainty of subordinates. In more cases, it is a matter of resentment.

When the project planning time is too long (for example, a month), the uncertainty in the project is often beyond the capabilities of managers.

Including subordinates who are ill (their loved ones are ill), demand changes, machine faults, and so on.

There are two reasons for agile development:

1. The supervisor shall improve the engineering capability and affordability of subordinates;

2. Capital (demand side, boss) pressure;

Effective agile development will undoubtedly damage people, because no one is willing to take on more uncertainty for no reason (for you.

So please use it with caution. If you want to use it, please be sure to communicate with your subordinates and bosses.
