Agile Friday: "Done Done" Now Online
March 11, 2010
"Done Done" won the poll for this week's Art of Agile Development release. I've posted the full text online.
I'm working a bit ahead (yay, vacation!), so I need to get your thoughts on two more weeks' worth of excerpts. I'd like your suggestions for the "Developing" chapter excerpt, which will be posted on March 26th:
Poll closed. Winner: Test-Driven Development (to be posted March 26th).
We also need to choose April 2nd's excerpt, which loops back around to the "Thinking" chapter:
Poll closed. Winner: Root-Cause Analysis (to be posted April 2nd).
This week's winner, "Done Done", surprised me. I thought Ten-Minute Build or Continuous Integration would win the day, since they're so central. But they tied for fourth place. In retrospect, getting to "done done" is something I see a lot of teams struggle with, and while I've seen people write about the importance of getting to "done done," I haven't seen a lot of people writing about how to do it. Perhaps that's why there was so much interest.
The final results:
- "Done Done" - 38%
- No Bugs - 15%
- Version Control - 0%
- Ten-Minute Build - 12%
- Continuous Integration - 12%
- Collective Code Ownership - 19%
- Documentation - 4%
