Technologies

Opinions

Software development is a team sport. I've worked in teams from 2 to 30 people, some did Scrum, some Kanban, some small-a agile amalgamations of techniques they liked. In uni we learned RUP, but that's passé. Delivering on time depends entirely on your ability to change scope. Pairing works, mob programming even better. Quality can only happen if everyone from the grunt to the CEO is on board.
