Validation in Agile Development

I think I don't understand what kind of dependency you are thinking of that would make additional testing necessary. Do you have a concrete example?

Validation in Agile Development

What if it would? What if it would not?

Validation in Agile Development

If done well, at the end of a sprint, all the developed functionality up to that sprint is validated by acceptance testing. For that to work, the acceptance testing needs to be automated, of course.…

Validation in Agile Development

I don't understand the "but" - in my book, Acceptance Testing *is* about testing overall functionality, unless I misunderstand what you mean by that term.

I've heard of people doing that on the release burn down when new work gets added by the PO. Not convinced that it's such a great idea for a sprint burn chart. But then, I'm not a big fan of sprint burn charts or tracking stories, anyway...

What potential issues do you see with the PO attending the daily Scrums?

Ilja Preuß replied to Tariq Ahmed's discussion 'How to deal with incorrect estimates during a sprint?'
No, sorry for not being more clear. The most common estimation practice I'm aware of is to use some kind of abstract points instead of units of time. Estimate Tasks in points relative to each other (and relative to tasks from earlier sprints). Burn…

I would actually advice against estimating in hours.

As far as I can tell, reestimating tasks during a sprint doesn't impact how many features we will finish, does it? So, how does reestimating tasks prevent you "looking silly"? And would it be possible to not "look silly" at the end of the sprint wi…

First and foremost, if you don't know the answer, be a rolemodel and admit it. Being able to admit when you don't know something is a strength and necessary behavior for a team, that as a leader you probably want to model for them. Regarding your q…

What would happen if you just left the estimate as is?

What is keeping you from using a task board with index cards, and a flipchart?

How detailed is the definition of the "set of features" at the beginning of the project?

What are your requirements for the software? Who is going to use it, and for what? Are you colocated or distributed?

Ilja Preuß replied to Tariq Ahmed's discussion 'How to deal with incorrect estimates during a sprint?'
First and foremost, estimates are *always* incorrect - that's why they are *estimates*. What exactly do you track on the burn down? Task hours? Story points? Something else?

Where do those expectations come from? Did those old tactics ever work?

What are the "business expectations" that you see in conflict with Agile values?

Motivation is much less a function of an individual, than of the system they are part of. Letting an employee find a different place that better motivates him might be much more costly than changing his current environment so that it is motivating t…

"It's not easy for every sprint to have a unifying theme." Who did say software development was easy? "The point of the team making the commitment is that they are more motivated to satisfy the commitment - they have a stake, rather than following…

Thanks for asking. I'm working as a senior developer on a team of four developers. We are responsible for the fundamental architecture of our product platform, that has to support both a standalone rich client, a client-server mode, use of the plat…
