A DisneyLand for Developers
if disneyland is being treated like a highly qualified and
trained professional rather than a faceless code machine - W. Hamill (2013)
In a “Traditional“ Project ...
Who spends weeks running manual test scripts?
Not The Developers!
Who has to spend days or weeks writing documents no
one ever reads?
Not The Developers!
Who gets fingers pointed at them when a Framework doesn’t
work out?
Not The Developers!
Who IS EXPECTED to “Manage Expectations” when a project is
running late?
Not The Developers!
Who could effectively apply the same rigor to their tasks
regardless of Agile?
The Developers!
Agile gives us
- Shared Responsibility - Ability to say “No” - Quality
Control - Openness & Transparency - Sustainability - Continuous Improvement
Agile Requires ...
... People give a s**t
- Cross Functional & Adaptive - think about the Big
Picture - want to communicate - strength to be honest - Demand quality
