Comment Is your team really agile? (Score 1) 460
My team is agile. We have a burn down chart. We have a weekly iteration planning session. We pair program, we test first, we write our cucumber tests, javascript tests, junit tests, and we code 35 or more hours a week. We're also in one of the strictest change management environments I've ever worked in, and we're still churning out high quality, highly tested code in high volume. In our stand up every morning we talk about the stories that were completed the day before and we mark them on our burn down chart at that time. Our Kanban board helps drive us through the process and it keeps everything visible to all the team members. Documentation for our semi-monthly releases is a chore - it takes us about 8 man hours a month, but were working to automate a lot of it.
Agile means adapting, and it sounds like you're not.
