  • Slowly going Agile (well more XP anyway)

    A few weeks back I undertook a performance review (no don't worry, its an annual thing). In this review I was asked for my aspirations for the future within the company. My response was to be more agile. My manager initially looked at me as if I meant that I could bend over backwards and touch my nose with my left big toe. As I explained more and more about agile practices (and I am no way an expert, I am still learning about it myself), he became more and more interested, especially as I explained it is a good methodology for environments where there is constant change, which is definitely the organisation I am working in. I gave him a quick run down and demo of the Subversion and CC environment I have set up and explained the ideas behind TDD.
