I like this quote under the heading “Antipatterns”:

“Partial delivery: not delivering into production. Unless delivering into production, “done” is more an interpretation, less a fact. ”

Yes. The switching of features makes more sense on a big codebase with a lot of developers.

Of course, I mean “IMO” rather that “fwiw”

fwiw the whole “ifdef” method of switching on features doesn’t seem like a good fit unless, like flickr, you’re spending a lot of time working on a single largeish product with many interacting parts.

For the kind of work we do (small projects, short sprints) optmising the deployment and rollback procedure, and deploying to a cluster would seem to solve a lot of problems without introducing additional overheads to the codebase.

Hi Mike & Eben,

Thanks for spreading the word. I’m glad there has been a good level of interest already. I’m starting to think about locations and dates, I’ll post some suggestions on LinkedIn.

Thanks, Andrew

Hi Andrew and Mike,

Mike – Didn’t realise you had strong Bath connections? I lived in Bath until last year and know a few Agilistas there. I’ll get em to join the Linkedin group you set up Andrew.

Cheers,
Eben

Hi Andrew – I pleased that you are setting up this group and will try and support you the best I can.

I coach a number of teams in Bath (Amdocs) and also know of some folks in HelpHire (if they are this there!) – I’m sure we can get a small group together for a meetup.

If you organise a meeting (especially around beer and chicken) I would attend (I’m usually in Bath 2 – 3 days a week, Mon -Wednesday).

Lets keep in touch around this and see what we can do

cheers
Mike

The assessment has now been updated and now includes 80 questions. Ken is opening discussions on the clarity of some questions.

Hi Phil,

Sadly, when I started the script ‘require’ didn’t work on my Mac. It was a known issue at the time. Things may have changed since then.
