Thanks for a very informative (and entertaining) series of posts. This hits
close to home for me because I'm currently experiencing the Agile Imposition.
It's been a very demotivational experience (no posters yet though :) for me
because in the five years at my current job I've worked with a great team that
has never failed to deliver on time and on budget. We have always been able to
deliver quickly and respond to changing requirements. We have never had a
problem communicating with each other. But now we're told that in spite of our
record of success we have to change the way we deliver software because managers
get gold stars for "embracing Agile". I don't have a problem with the Agile
methodology per se, but in our case it's fixing something that ain't broke.
When your life resembles Dilbert so closely that you start to suspect Scott Adams
is spying on you from a nearby cube, is it time to look elsewhere?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
