@Patricia The Agile-Industrial Complex seems dominated by those folks. I just spent today working with a team AT A BANK doing what looks an awful lot like XP (#xplives). And they seem to contend from time to time with folks who definitely prefer they be more formal, but they resist.

It's my fault.

I am Chet.

If you talk to each other, then you don't need rules. But if you don't talk to each other, then you need rules. It is possible to follow rules that promote talking to each other.

That works better when it's voluntary and intentional.

Dee Hock makes an appearance on stage! #CraftConf #xplives

Excellent! Project Communities live, but now with the name "Collectives". 👍

Whatever works. #CraftConf #ixp #xplives

The #Lightweight emphasis on delivering frequently comes from an era when delivering every 6-18 months was commonplace and customers were starved for new features. Many of us don't live there any more.

Delivering frequently doesn't mean "Always Be Shipping New Features". It means practising delivery until you can do it in your sleep.

This is one way to generate options in order to enable a strategy that fits your business.

I'm a professional (!) #5pinbowling competitor with a 25-year (!) history in software development, most of it with a strong preference for #lightweight approaches.

I learned what I know about #Lightweight software from pioneers in the Extreme Programming community #xplives. I'm grateful to them.

Every time I find a Reddit post about #agile software development, it feels like I've come across a gold mine. What better source for understanding the problems that people are facing and how they perceive the failures of what should be a #lightweight approach to software development?

This will make for a significant source of material for articles and talks.
