Bret Pettichord wrote a blog post on how Agile is All About Feedback.
As usual, Bret’s writing is keenly insightful, stripping the issue down to its essence. And I totally agree with all his points, especially where he says:
“If you don’t have meaningful feedback then you’re not agile. You’re just in a new form of chaos.”
and his stirring conclusion:
“Agile practices build a technical and organizational infrastructure to facilitate getting and acting on feedback. If you aren’t going to adapt to feedback, then this infrastracture is waste that will only slow you down.”
Please go read the whole post. It’s great stuff.
Thanks a lot for pointing me to that great article. I would have missed it. Agile is not the “silver bullet”. Especially not, if one does not understand the essence of it.
In my own experience breaking down features into stories and doing continuous releases where the best facilitators of fast feedback.
I’ve written about how I introduced agile to manage a remote team on my blog.
