"Agile in a nutshell with a spice of lean" is probably a PTSD-inducing sentence to some people.

Actually it's about hard (vertical line) and soft (horizontal) skills.

spongepuppy posted:What the gently caress is a T-shaped person? Serious answer, it's someone with a breadth of skills which they know a bit of but one area they know in depth. So ideally everyone understand everyone else's job to some degree and their own job really well for example, or just one aspect of their job.

I would have thought that most people in reasonably skilled jobs would be like that - it just seems strange to need a term for normal people who are capable of learning by osmosis.

Not really, most people specialise and don't have much reason or inclination to look at what other people do in their department far less in others. Is this just another case 'goons deliberately don't understand anything'?

Management systems are cargo culting something that worked once somewhere else and the slavish adherence to jargon is typical of that. But if you're lucky, focus is put on the bits about applying the scientific method to work practices and project management. So to that point, a scrum attitude or whatever the gently caress they are calling it these days is going to be one of the more useful takeaways from your million dollar consulting bill.

Bolded the root of the problem. Agile can actually work really well when implemented reasonably, but a lot of folks earn a living selling a version that's designed to appeal to middle managers rather than to actually work. The cargo culting is deliberately induced by the ones getting the fat check. Capitalism ruins everything, including capitalism.

"Agile" works quite well as long as people don't take it too seriously and adapt it to their needs. It gets culty when you have a Scrum Master who has the Big Holy Book Of Scrum and if things are done differently you are a blasphemer and heretic. I think somebody realised that incremental chunks of development with lots of user feedback is actually a good thing, and all the buzzword nonsense was added to sell it to management without them realising what was really going on.

It's hard enough to sell already if you have to explain management that there is not really a 3-year plan or even a half year plan, more something like a 3-month vague direction that is probably good to go in and you don't really know if that feature is going to be complete in a year but you'll have something within two weeks. If everything goes well. The joke is of course that a 3-year plan also guarantees jack poo poo and is more likely to go over time and budget but it's what everyone did so by god we're going to do it too. Any developer who knows the sound and fury of three salespeople standing at their desk demanding that their pet useless feature is implemented yesterday benefits because you designate another person to focus those two minutes of hate every day on. Still doesn't take away from the fact that that graph is steaming hot bullshit.

Australia's health minister has been caught in a scandal, putting a huge amount of travel expenses on taxpayer dollar to do things like buy apartments. ...at least, maybe she is. I know what this thing's trying to say and I don't follow it.

Agile development is little more than saying, "Here's what we delivered to the users last sprint (development period). Here's their responses. Here's what we think they still want us to do. Here's what we plan on doing this sprint." All you need to do agile development is some basic spreadsheet software, a version control system, and some way to hold meetings, none of which costs any extra money. This is why it got popular in the first place.

Did the LNP put that out to deliberately try and hide her corrupt bullshit? Other countries have sex scandals. Or drugs. Maybe a few dead hookers. In Australia, it's always loving real estate. Or mines. Or both! Hey, here's a good idea, let's put a mine in the Queensland far north coast and run a huge coal port there with shipping going directly through the Great Barrier Reef and have the politicians in charge of making it happen go on to positions on the board of the company involved.
