Even though we’ve seen it applied to many companies (like Tesla), apparently this widely used global methodology was only formally detailed by Brazilian Devs. Example XGH methodology: "In XGH you don’t think, you do the first thing that comes to your mind. There’s not a second option as the first one is faster."]]> satire agile programming coding xgh tesla methodologies process https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:b6926d104c92/ 2020-02-17T13:00:29+00:00 https://cutle.fish/blog/12-signs-youre-working-in-a-feature-factory jmI’ve used the term *Feature Factory *at a couple conference talks over the past two years. I started using the term when a software developer friend complained that he was “just sitting in the factory, cranking out features, and sending them down the line.” heh, this rings a bell....]]> features product-management agile teams work management product companies prioritization planning https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:c4f2ce936374/ 2019-10-25T11:41:00+00:00 https://apenwarr.ca/log/20171213 jm agile management software programming scheduling triage bugs backlogs jira https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:24ba57f7dcef/ 2019-08-06T11:57:13+00:00 https://www.quora.com/Why-do-some-developers-at-strong-companies-like-Google-consider-Agile-development-to-be-nonsense/answer/David-Jeske?share=1 jm Our highest priority is to increase customer (and programmer) productivity and access to information. Work on the biggest, most frequently used problems you can find, and create the largest net impact. Don’t give the customer what they ask for; understand them, and revolutionize their world. Developers should create a Google Design Document (a fairly minimal, but structured design doc), explaining the project, what goals it hopes to achieve, and explains why it can’t be done in other ways. This document should be circulated with stakeholders, to get early feedback before the project gets underway. The written record is essential, as it assures there is a clear and agreed understanding of when the project is a success and how it aims to get there. At all phases of the project, critical design elements for larger components should be concisely explained and captured in a design document. Innovate in leapfrogs. It’s more important to finish and deploy a leapfrog than to attempt perfection. There is no perfection. Instead be flexible, and plan to constantly reinvent at every level of the stack. Deliver working software as soon as is reasonably possible, and no sooner. “Dogfood” projects internally before they are shipped externally. Make sure products meet high quality standards before shipping. The quality of the product is more important than the time it takes to achieve it. ]]> agile architecture google scrum development coding projects project-management design https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:a6046dfadf0d/ 2014-01-04T21:30:16+00:00 http://rc3.org/2013/03/03/dont-get-stuck/ jm continuous-deployment coding agile deployment devops etsy rafe-colburn https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:d8dec5f4bf39/ 2013-05-01T11:07:22+00:00 https://blog.mozilla.org/webdev/2013/04/22/kanban-for-mdn-development/ jm kanban scheduling team agile mozilla https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:5dc3f963dfa9/ 2012-02-02T10:02:02+00:00 http://www.quora.com/Engineering-Management/Why-are-software-development-task-estimations-regularly-off-by-a-factor-of-2-3 jm agile development management programming teams estimation tasks software https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:c04b6424baf4/ 2010-12-06T23:12:25+00:00 http://blog.tridgell.net/?p=111 jm pair-programming xp tridge coding collaboration agile vnc sip https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:9faa1eb00d21/ 2010-03-26T12:17:37+00:00 http://www.pivotaltracker.com/learnmore jm scrum collaboration dev management project-management tools agile https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:3ecfaea9fd7f/
