In this episode, we talk about getting management to be involved and buy-in to the agile transformation.
How do we help teams focus on technical excellence? A while ago I wrote a post about #MyCoreOfAgile when I was visting the Agile community in Torino.
I've thought about this a while and think that the way we work, both process and technical excellence are key to the Agility we can achieve as teams. For me, XP practices (test automation, pair programming, continuous integration, etc.) are a key part of what it means to be Agile in software development.
Many teams out there just adopt Scrum (the practices) and forget the technical practices. How do we get our teams to care about software craftsmanship and technical practices that foster agility?
This is the question we tackle with Jeff in this Q&A episode.
