Get idea about Agile Software Development | Testing | Scrum Programming

In the years I’ve been transforming organizations, a few requests get me worked up like a two-year old who skipped a nap. Two of these are, “The right process will solve our people issues” and “The right tool will solve our people and process issues.” While I agree, processes and tools are important, people are […]

Stabilize The Patient First

By Darian Rashid In Agile Leadership, Agile Testing, Process Posted August 10, 2017 0 Comments

So, I was watching one of those Trauma in the ER shows, and one phrase kept coming up: “We need to stabilize the patient before we can do anything else.” It makes me glad that some of us software developers didn’t go into medicine. If we treated patients the way we treat our code, well, […]

It always bewilders me to think about the amount of teams out there who designate the ScrumMaster as a ‘Task Master’. In these teams, the ScrumMaster’s role is often seen as that of an administrator.
