Iteration #1 – Day #1 Monday 12/9/2002

We had our first daily standup today and everything went smoothly. Everybody has well defined tasks to do to get the project started. Our bullpen facilities are still up in the air, but should be resolved soon. In any case not much coding is happening today, should be more tomorrow. I am interested to see how the first rounds of pairing go.

The thrill of my day was when the PM came into my office this morning with a smile and a bounce announcing that she “gets it”. Having spend the weekend reading various books and article and comparing them to our planning meeting she is now fully on board and is going to emulate the planning meeting for the other projects that are not “officially” agile yet.
