I haven&#39;t worked in a Kanban environment but am pretty intrigued by the way it might protect QA from getting dumped on at the last minute. I&#39;m a certified scrum master and love scrum, however this article blew my mind with some kanban alternatives: http://blog.crisp.se/henrikkniberg/2009/04/03/1238795520000.html. I&#39;m curious if others have opinions on this.Jimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14519395477976480253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951904624959546499.post-58559652650796105552009-10-31T14:13:59.515-04:002009-10-31T14:13:59.515-04:00Similar thoughts:<br />http://www.linkedin.com/answers/technology/software-development/TCH_SFT/548985-11505631<br /><br />http://www.sqablogs.com/tonybruce/2446/Are+testers+still+being+hired+on+their+testing+ability%3F.htmlTony Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14044205740382054059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951904624959546499.post-6994143646299851242009-10-30T22:33:26.460-04:002009-10-30T22:33:26.460-04:00Well &quot;agile&quot; is antiquated now. The new thing you&#39;ll start hearing soon is &quot;lean software development&quot;. A lot of the blogs I&#39;m reading now I guess got tired of using &quot;agile&quot; and is moving over to this new &quot;lean&quot; software &quot;paradigm shift&quot;.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_software_developmentTLACrayolanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951904624959546499.post-42043457608062793202009-10-30T22:02:50.252-04:002009-10-30T22:02:50.252-04:00I can understand how you can feel that way but I don&#39;t agree. When I was working in an ultra-strict waterfall environment I felt the same way. All of the magazine articles, blogs, and consultants were talking about Agile practices and I was sick of it. Now, however, I work for a company that has embraced Agile and SCRUM from the top down (CEO to developers) and I can see first-hand the benefits of Agile and iterative development processes - and how quickly we can deliver high-quality software to our customers. I believe it is a matter of context, for me the grass is certainly greener.Cruisinqahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14145457050291251633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951904624959546499.post-35004964450216978222009-10-30T16:54:33.555-04:002009-10-30T16:54:33.555-04:00Hurrah!
