... Not quite. Fungibility is in terms of what is being exchanged, in this case defects and new functionality, not the source of what is exchanged or who does...
Juan: yes, I agree. That's why our team do test (one tests the other's work). But I'd prefer to have a tester. Ron: about fixing the root cause of the problem,...
... Yes, and Ron also said, "I think the time spent on them should be tracked." Tracking this effort and making it visible is a precursor to improving the...
Rafael, I totally agree that we need Testers! But don't let Testers or other people become a bottleneck, make sure you have a plan B when someone falls sick or...
Maarten, I agree, and that's what we try to do here. Everybody is able to test. Everybody is able to do smaller design tasks, so we don't need to hire external...
Hi folks, ... As far as I understand Kanban [Software Development], it sounds to me like Scrum on steroids. Both are Agile, but Kanban goes a bit more extreme....
it is not about Lean vs Agile nor about Kanban vs Scrum, Scrum vs XP and so onit about exploring new techniques for delivering value it is about being...
Hi Folks, Just starting scrum (I'm the PO) - first sprint went quite well but we neglected writing acceptance criteria for our stories. 1- Who writes...
I'd say it depends. Here's how i'd respond to this one Acceptance test criteria can be written at story time creation. But again during the Sprint Planning...
I'm going to share on what we do here with the Team doing development also doing support.We establish together that the team is split between support ...

... What about a defect without a known, unambiguous, or easily identifiable root cause? I think that those are possible. It's probably always a good idea to...
Hi Petri, ... This is a mis-characterization of Scrum. Scrum (if it is anything "driven") is a priority-driven approach. Priority is considered at all stages...
Today FireScrum hits a mark in its history. After months of a hard work of a lot of people we proudly announce its first public beta version. To begin,...
I don't think I can compare them until I know what they are. I've been studying scrum for 10 years, and I've learned enough about it to know that I don't know...
Hi Karl, I read the article. Good stuff. Honestly, if you changed every occurrence of the word "Kanban" for "Scrum" your article would still read intelligently...

You can't be doing scrum without Sprints. However, you don't have to do batch planning, it can be incremental. The sprint is mainly there as a big feedback...
... Right. The ideas are not mutually exclusive. Kanban simply gives a different way of establishing a cadence to achieve the feedback loop which some teams...
Yeah, I think it's useful, too. There cadence to the WIP (the planning cadence) is very useful to have separate from the review (with stakeholders) cadence Dan...
Can't think of one, to be honest. Mostly, I was just playing devil's advocate. Rafael suggested that a defect could not have a root cause, which I think is...
