Agile patterns and anti-patterns that I was finding.

Hi everyone!

This time I bring to you a resume of all agile patterns and anti-patterns that I was finding in the way. I collected them from own and others experience. In many cases these were my own errors, and when I discovered them, they were added to the collection. I thought that was interesting to put them nicknames, to illustrate a little more the problem's root.

This is a pre-view of the Book I'll write.

I hope that this patterns will be for you so userful, didactyc as funny.

I wait for your feedback!

  • Photogenic Agile . Is Agile for the photo. He demonstrate to be part of the Agile movement, but don't understand it at all.
  • Agile anti christ. This is convinced that the Agilism is not good, but never tried it. And those who make it work is by good luck.
  • Agile as a slogan. Names agilism to sell, but behind closed doors ... don't uses it at all.
  • Agile all in one. There is a person with the role "Scrum Developer Master Owner."

  • Agile Soldier. The Stand Up is a military report, with penalties, reviews and push-ups.
  • Agile or death. Everything must be perfect. If a post-it is twisted, he straightens it.

  • Agile Drugstore. Open 24 hours. Do not leave for tomorrow what you can do at night.
  • Agile Sheriff. The Manager friendly dedicates to watch the process. Intervenes only when something goes wrong, with wrong manners, and to find the guilty.
