Spooky Halloween Tales of Federal Agile Software Development
While Halloween conjures up frightful images of ghosts, ghouls and goblins, there are actually some very scary tales from the crypt about federal Agile software development.
Of course, Agile is the winning software development approach for the federal government. However, here are the three most spine-chilling Agile software development stories that spook even the most seasoned developer.
The Silence of the Fearful Team:
Oh how the fear of being fired casts an unlikely spell on Agile team members during a Sprint Retrospective. Nobody speaks up or tells the truth about future improvements. Fear not! Creating a culture of trust, inclusion and honesty will make the silent powerful.
When Product Owners Attack:
Much like a vampire who has an uncanny taste for blood, Agile Product Owners can succumb to their darkest impulses and attack team members by being rude and insulting. Your Scrum Master shall serve as your protector.
The Legend of the Centralized Decision-Making Monster:
Greed and an insatiable taste for power can decentralize decision making to one person. This monster can be banished forever by empowering the entire team to make all decisions.
Makpar’s Generative Culture always brings light into the darkest of Agile software development projects. True collaboration is celebrated and everyone has a voice when it comes to decision making.
