    Just out of interest, how many of you dear friends are using some sort of agile process (scrum etc.) in your working lives? What method(s) are you using? What tools are you using? Like it/ Love it / Hate it Tried it/ditched it?

      I use Agile in the following ways: 1. on waking whenever I beat the crap out of myself mercilessly for every single stupid thing I've done until I no longer remember any stupid things I have done. 2. if I find myself starting to feel like I've accomplished something, I call a Scrum and reduce myself to tears as my other personalities tear my little ounce of pride to bits. 3. Friends ? dear Friends ? who's got time for those when there's code to write ? 4. the tools I use are memories, hallucinations, dreams, fantasies, reveries, and any other mental state I can get the lasso of awareness around and bull-dog. 5. I do use one "physical" device: a mirror painted black. cheers, Bill

        I use the make-it-done-and-efficiently method for most of my development... I do not know what names can you call it - I actually called an IT manager of or customer a*hole for asking me if I'm using SCRUM (because it is the only way things can be done!), telling him it is not his f* business how I make things happen...

            As i am a lone Ranger on my Project i scrum a lot and work very agile. I talk to myself in a lot of situations to discuss changes with me, sometimes we come to a good idea and transport it directly to developementteam me. I iterate through Projectstates after several tasks are done. In these Iterations i have meetings with myself to check if we are on the plan or if there are any showstoppers on the tasks. New concepts and stuff are developed meanwhile be me to assure the functionality is sufficient for the users. Sometimes i am lucky and get one or two of the guys that need to work with that system, then i can ask if it's okay like its done, they agree to everything :cool:

            if(this.signature != "")
            {
            MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
            }
            else
            {
            MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
            }

              Code reviews. You need some code reviews and twomof you should start doing pair programming.

              The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
              This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
              "I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

                Oh dear you are right, i need codereviews! But since me and my other half are sticking to CLEAN CODE most of the code should be a ok. Yeah maybe i train both hands on fully programming and rock of on two pc's to meet capacity needs :-\

                if(this.signature != "")
                {
                MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
                }

                  I have only been on one team in, say, eight years, where we didn't use basic, non-religious, scrum. OK, one other team we used Kanban, but I think that's close enough to scrum. For the non-religious, that is. It's always been good, and at least felt better than more formal processes; I don't know whether business felt as good as the developers though.

                    We use anti-agile, whatever that is called, I guess all of these look like valid descriptors for how work gets done; Antonyms for agile apathetic depressed dispirited down dull ignorant inactive lazy lethargic lifeless rigid slow sluggish stiff stupid brittle clumsy

                    I think they are called Project Managers. It is a shite way of working.

                      Agile is good and I like it. Most people have a hard time with it though, for whatever reason, and thus, don't really implement the methodology well. Eventually, they are no longer practicing Agile anymore, and they are back to their old habits. :) I have used Rally for managing our user stories and defects.

                          I work across multiple teams running scrum and kanban, mostly it works well and I quite like it as long as the people working on it are pragmatic and stick to core principles instead of religiously sticking to the text book. We're using Team Foundation Server for backlog management, boards etc...

                            I find they're the best habits to have. One is so much more comfortable with them.

                              I'm pretty much identical to you. Multi teams, Scrum, TFS, pragmatic, generally like it...

                                Every day we have a meeting where we are not allowed to say anything of substance. Even though I tell them everyday I do not need help I have to say that every day now I just say something like did this, no road blocks no help needed. Then once a week we have a session where everything that was said that morning is repeated. We pay large money for a certified scrum master who would not know an html document from a squirrel. No credit is ever given to the developer and at one point we were told that everyone is a developer. Therefore no one is a developer. Hate is far to weak. Scrum means take your coding time away from you. The BA designed the lay out of an ASPX page and demanded that the labels for the radio button list be above the buttons. The purpose of the agile team is to stop the development of software and deprecate developers.
