I just want to share that the book "The Pragmatic Programmer" was the book which changed my career in a very good way as a Software Engineer. Many thanks to the authors @PragmaticAndy @pragdave . Which books changed your life as a developer?

Having certificates has nothing to do with being agile. At all. Nor does knowledge of Jira/Rally/VersionOne/etc.

The idea of "scaling agile" doesn't resonate with me. I do like the idea of simplifying organizations so they can better adapt to reality as it's discovered. – at Seattle, WA

As an #Agile company, don't rollout a specific framework. Instead focus on implementing a continuous improvement process at the senior leadership level to drive evolution of you organization and the processes you use. Deliver value to your customers, manage work - not workers.

One of my teams was reluctant to use a physical board instead of Jira. After some time I convinced them to experiment it and today, after a week, I’ve heard: “Why didn’t we do it before?! This is much better”. YES! Now we can visualize the whole value stream #kanban #transparency – at Dublin City, Ireland

In other words, sw teams don't lose speed to quality; we lose speed to tolerating low quality and by batching the recovery of lost quality.

Replying to @tottinge
Agile methods (Scrum, XP, FAST, LeSS, etc) are not FOR people who cling to big plans and strict hierarchical control.

If you have any talent, any occupation that delights you, do it, and do it to the hilt. Don't ask why or what difficulties you may get into.

**SO** many sins of programming start with, "I'm trying to avoid the need to pass this to every function that needs it."

You should do Trunk-Based Development instead of GitFlow and other branching models that feature multiple long-running branches
