Software is losing its Magic

How many times have you looked at your phone and wondered what has happening? What about reading the KB article referenced in a new piece of software that is now six months too old? What about trying to find a link you just saved on your phone only to find out that it only works on your phone app and doesn’t transfer to your desktop?

C'mon, it's Agile

Here’s how Agile get’s a bad rap… We don’t have to plan. We don’t have to think about what we want to do. We don’t have to write anything down. We don’t have to look past the current sprint. We don’t have to be worried about what we deliver. We can change what we are doing and who is doing it every day. We don’t need to worry about what we deliver. All wrong, all the time. Agile isn’t a reason to avoid doing the hard work, it’s an idea, a concept, a framework to breakdown the hard work and
