Agile Politics
Saturday, November 23, 2002

I presented the Programmer Tests from the current project I'm leading to the IT directors yesterday. It was a great meeting that solidified the direction we're headed: a pilot project with low-level agile practices. The directors are beginning to see the value of keeping the customer involved throughout the process and equipping the team with tools that will help them adapt to the customer's changing requirements. I can see how this first step might lead them to slowly embracing the high-level XP practices.

There are some interesting political dynamics between the directors that may impact this first project, but I'm just going to keep pushing this stuff as far as I can. I truly believe it will improve our projects' performance.
