Davkaus Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I just started working for a company that does Agile properly, compared to the last couple of places I was at that thought it meant "like the v model, but with no documentation, just rush that shit out of the door". It works surprisingly well when you do it properly. 2 week sprints, with shippable code at the end of each and every one, with a major release every 3 months, it's been going much better than the last fe wplaces I've worked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoppy1987 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Agile is not something that has surfaced in our office. I am going to have to plant that one in for amusement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but think of this, and I'll link Carlin whenever I can. "People add extra words when they want things to sound more important than they really are".

I dream of this, we currently do waterfall without documentation and rush the shit out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Oh, it definitely gets missed used, my god does it, which is exactly why it makes my blood boil when I hear it. 18 hours ago, lapal_fan said: "2020" - I swear, when we finally reach 2020, most of the corporate suckers in my place won't know what to do with themselves. "2020 this, 2020 that" - well done on drawing an arbitrary line on a calendar for which you will try (and fail) to do something "next gen". I am sick of hearing about 2020 too. I understand the play on words - 2020 vision, but man. It's been everywhere, all the time, for about 6 months.
