@allenholub Interesting point. Scrum with various definitions of Done might be completely different methodologies.

[Allen Holub. https://linkedIn.com/in/allenholub @allenholub]

The amount of bureaucracy in a system is inversely proportional to the amount trust. Agile is all about minimizing the former and maximizing the latter.

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

@allenholub Groups have to grow into agile teams. That requires trust, support and leadership. If members haven't been part of an agile team before they need to be taught. 2/2

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

@allenholub Often, comments like this indicate that the individual takes "agile team" to mean some arbitrary group of people thrown together by management. Being thrown into the same boat with everyone else doesn't make you a sailor. 1/x

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

@allenholub Yes! Also useful for the PO to remember that the title is metaphorical, at least most of the time. :-)

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

@sebazzz91 As I said, legacy. :-) pluggable agents allow the gui to support older runtimes for the few without building in dependencies that inconvenience everyone. That's huge!

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

New pluggable agent allows the TestCentric Gui to run .NET 8.0 tests.

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

Eventually, all agents will be pluggable, with a standard set included with the GUI and varying from time to time as platforms become available - or obsolete.

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

BTW, this isn't the first pluggable agent. A .NET Framework 2.0 agent has been released for a while and a .NET Core 2.1 agent is in my dev channel. Those, of course, are for folks who need to test under those legacy platforms.

@estherschindler @gdinwiddie Me too!

@allenholub @WolfrostFM People sometimes talk about short- vs long-term outcomes in this context. IME the long term consequences of sacrificing quality show up in about a week or less.

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

@allenholub @_cblaine_ @Grammarly I wasn't referring ChatGTP but... yes. :-) TBH I don't even find ChatGTP particularly interesting except possibly as an example of how little progress has been made in understanding what intelligence is. It's Eliza 2022.

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

@_cblaine_ @allenholub @Grammarly Preferences can be crowd-sourced effectively. Actual Knowledge can't except in the most trivial cases, where almost everyone knows the correct answer.

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

@allenholub In groups, many of us don't catch the signals, which tell others when it's OK to speak up. So we stumble into the dicussion at the wrong moment.

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

@allenholub @RonJeffries @ryanripley Depends on who is taking on the role of identifying these global problems. Sadly, I've only seen it done by setting limits on what the team is allowed to decide. Perhaps you have seen it done better... if so I'd like to hear more.

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

@allenholub @RonJeffries @ryanripley And "optimizing across all teams" implies that the teams are not self-organizing.

Phrases I don't like:

Thought leader → I have zero interest in leading thoughts. Ppl should think for themselves.

Technical expert → The list of things I don't know is infinite. Even if I know a bit more on some topic than you, I'm sure you know more on another topic than me

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

@sebrose @rchatley @CentrePompidou I'll guess that it's both. My theory is that the translator intended "at last" but that was a mistranslation, most likely of "finalement." Like English "finally" that word has several meanings, only one of which is "at last." Just guess however.

[CharliePoole ([email protected]) @CharliePoole]

@rdroft @unclebobmartin Somehow, being able to use things without knowledge, doesn't strike me as an improvement. It's more a characteristic of a beginner than of a seasoned practitioner.
