Scope of this Blog

When organizations start thinking of implementing a new method, this means they are not happy with the way things are currently going. The discontent may stem from:

• too little process, causing chaos and misunderstanding;
• a very rigid process, causing people to feel constrained and hindered in effectively doing their job;
• a lack of timely feedback and focus on working software in the process, causing dissatisfied customers and overruns in delivery;
• too much pressure on the team and measures like working overtime, causing concessions to software quality and maintainability and dissatisfied team members.

Our soldier played a very important role in finding a peaceful solution to this conflict which is quite an accomplishment since this hadn't been part of his training as a soldier. But that's another story and should be told another time.
