Agile in Everyday Life

16 JUN 2010 | Posted in agile delivery | Author Ross Jackson

When it comes to scoping out a project, then having to adapt to changing circumstances, anyone who's ever planned a barbecue for a Bank Holiday weekend will appreciate the use of Agile, in the delivery of their goal.

Obviously we all pray for bright Sunshine on our Bank Holidays, so we can spend the day grilling sausages and beefburgers, whilst drinking beer and pontificating about sport, politics and whatever else we can think of. However, it's rarely the case that this happens smoothly, and so we have to adapt to the changing weather at the beginning of the "project", as well as people's changing personalities towards the end of the day after one too many stubbies...

If we keep this in mind, though, we can ensure the project goal of "a splendid time for all" is achieved satisfactorily.

Trust

 

While I was working with one of my clients a few years a go, I was given a book to read by the CEO.  "The Speed of Trust".  I read the book with a healthy dose of scepticism having read many management books in the past.  But this book resonated with the core principles of Agile for me.
