My Agile Experience

I took a class in college on software engineering. Scrum and XP were the most interesting things I took away from the class. Since then, I've been reading as much as I can about all things Agile. My current position lured me in by saying that I'd be working within a Scrum environment. That's not actually true, but there's enough interest that I'm hoping to make it so. I've been fortunate in that they have been willing to send me to the Agile 2007 and 2008 conferences. Having just returned from Agile 2008, I'm hoping to use my renewed excitement to make some positive changes at work. If I only succeed in making myself more Agile, I'll be happy.

Ha! I haven't updated this in a while. I left my old position (sadly) and took a position with a company that was supposedly fully agile. I asked a lot of questions about their agile practices in my interviews and got good answers. My first day of work was the day after their last morning scrum meeting. Now I'm on a contract where they make a joke about agile in every meeting. My quest for an agile employer is going no where!

I talked with my boss today about our agility. After my comment yesterday about my work being a lost cause in terms of being agile and the sleepless night that resulted from that comment, I decided I should talk to my boss. I'm going to give a presentation next week about the top 5 or 6 things I learned at the conference. I guess I'm giving it another shot.
