Mikey the Agile Dog

Dogs over Process? He prefers to be called an Agilista instead of an Agile Dog, but he can write his own blog if he cares so much. I am tired of arguing semantics with him.

Agility is not a singular method nor set combination of methods. Some of it is instinctive and even, I would argue, unnatural to prevent.

In the interest of full disclosure, Mikey did pay his $1200 and sat through a ScrumMaster lecture, so he is a Certified Scrum Master but is having trouble getting his Certified Scrum Practitioner certification.

Yes, this is oversimplification, but there is a point here.

In the completion of a task, driven by a measure of success (a test, in this case verbal), some Agile principle are more visceral than discipline. I think that is as important to understand as how many items your Kanban board can hold or Peer Programming (for instance) when you take on an Agile SDLC.

It’s also a decent example of what a PM can do in an Agile environment, maybe. You have to reach a bit for that one, but the damn dog is so cute.

Best,

Josh
