Nice video, you always make nice content. We don't have scrum where I work now and I love it. I like scrum as a concept but the implementation is always so much off from what it should be.
For me these methodologies have only created more stress and diminishing joy in my work. Just the fact that you have deadlines every two sprints , speaks for itself that it can’t be a healthy concept. The only good thing about it is to improve things in the process like workflow ect… but this is just more common sense for me. IT consultancies introduced these methods as the holy grail to speed up IT projects and create IT factories but in reality you need more time and money to do the same work as you need a product owner,scrum master,functional analyst,Architect etc… to do the work where a developer did all this by himself 15 years ago and was eventually quicker. 😂
devs setting their own commitments I don't see as deadlines. I also have a video about the return of the full stack dev you might enjoy. thanks for the comment!
@@edandersenI have often seen devs bidding against each other to commit a part of work to make a good impression on their scrum master. So the devs automatically created harder commitments for themselves which in the end they even couldn’t meet at all.
My subjective 5 cents after 10 years in industry: Kanban still the best, most of the time, most of the teams will battle with services they/legacy implemented and do new features in 50% in best case scenario. No stand-ups is also the must (micromanaging), just look at tasks it will be enough. NO ONE CARES about each other in fundamental level most of the time, so giving space and just having retrospective or/and 1:1 will do the job.
Hi Ed, I'm a C# developer so like your posts a lot. Its hard to listen to them though because your audio is what I call blurry. Maybe bassey? The lows drown things out enough that I need to turn the volume higher to hear, but then its over-volume. I just want you to get as many views as possible so you might look at that. I'm a lone programmer at my company so your vids give perspective I don't get normally so thanks for that.
It's one of the worst aspects of software development, I think. In every other industry you're trusted to do the work and it takes as long as it takes (within reason). Yet in software development we're pushed to come up with artificial deadlines just so we can tick a box. What should be more important is producing quality work. The worst bit is that you can't win, if you meet the deadline, they expect more from you, if you dont meet the dealine it has consequences. I've always found that teams are more productive and happier when they're small enough to not need all this crap. However, I appreciate that's not very helpful, as companies inevitably need to grow.
Would appreciate a Like if you found this entertaining or at all useful! 👍Thanks 🙏

Thank you, appreciate the comment. If you are forced to do Scrum it doesn't have to be painful.

@@georgeluyckx1437 the team should make the sprint goal as a team, not individually. Ideally anyway

Thanks for the feedback, yeah its my list of things to sort out. I do have hand crafted subtitles / closed captions if that helps. Cheers.

Yeah but if you have to so "scrum" might as well do it the nice way. Thanks for the comment!
I'm starting to hate that stock photo manager and he's done nothing to me.
he's in PowerPoint if you want to make your own, either Fernando or Alonso, can't remember which lol
