It works better with your own checklist, right?

In many cases checklists help; but other people feel patronized by too detailed checklists. People stop thinking about what is the intent behind them and ask “why does it make sense to do it in this way?”

If people have to find their own actions based on the expectations and requirements, they really own their solution. Checklists they create are seen as a tool that helps them to do their work instead of being patronized by others. If people have a clear understanding of the expectations and are empowered to take the right actions, they can adjust their solutions to the current situation and needs more easily.

Checklist example

For instance, if a team has to use a strict template for a certain type of document, to provide information for maintenance for support, they will always deliver it in ...

Last Thursday, I had a session on Agile Testing at the QualityConf in Munich. It was a first-time event, intended for intensive exchange of the HP QualityCenter user community. My talk was a bit off-topic, as I was not talking about software tools, but about organisational change.

Not knowing what level of experience with Agile to expect from that audience was a bit of a challenge for my talk preparation. I chose to create a presentation with a strong focus on two topics: Why is Agile a good solution for 21st century software projects? How does “Agile Build Quality In ...

New Release of Agilo for Scrum

Keeping up with our goal of releasing every two months, we are proud to announce a new version of Agilo Pro 1.3.1 (and the Agilo Open Source edition).

New features and changes:

Trac 0.12 support

Agilo is now compatible with Trac 0.12, while keeping compatibility with Trac 0.11.X. While we're pretty confident that all basic operations work, we'd like to see some more real-world testing before we declare that feature as 'production ready'. Agilo with Trac 0.12 is currently slower than Trac 0.11.

Remember ...

At the peak of sprint planning the team pledges "We commit to achieve these stories, no matter what it takes". It's a deal with the Product Owner (PO) and the team.

So why do teams commit?

The commitment is only valuable if the team thinks it can actually achieve it. Since the team is invited to pull the right amount of stories from the backlog, the PO trusts that the team makes reliable commitments based on their current capabilities and expected flow. This way the self-organizing team is challenged to constantly improve estimates, deliver value, as well as contribute ...
