Hi there
I am working on documenting PyPy (the project) as a showcase of agile
development. In order to be able to do this I would love to get some
thoughts and reflections from you who are working on /following PyPy and
the question is of course - how agile are we?
Here is some short notes on success factors of agile approaches (from an
eworkshop in 2002 - Cockburn, Beck etc,
http://fc-md.umd.edu/projects/Agile/Summary/SummaryPF.htm):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In general, the group agreed that the following are the success factors
for agile development:
§ Negotiation: If people are willing to keep talking and learning,
you are, almost by definition, agile.
§ Ability to continuously learn
§ Responsibly responding to change.
§ Environment where rapid communication is enabled.
§ Team reasonably in charge of its own destiny (being allowed to
succeed).
§ People are valued over other factors
§ The team needs to be more than just able, it needs to actually
succeed. There needs to be a support network for each
individual in the
team to make a contribution however small.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
How does these factors apply to PyPy and this community? Are we doing
other things that is not mentioned here that is working well for us? Things we could do better?
Your responses will be part of documentation about PyPy/agile dev
(sprints) that will be distributed to the EU, Universities, various
companies and other Open Source projects who have stated a clear interest
in the PyPy showcase.....
If you feel that answering this email doesnt really fit the purpose of
this mailinglist - please answer to me specifically.
Thank you for your contribution!
Cheers

"Alla dessa måsten och alldaglighet.
Allt detta som binder vår verklighet
i bojor av skam och rep utav tvång.
Alla dessa kedjor som binder vår sång.
Jag skall slita dem alla i små, små stycken
och möjligtvis av resterna göra mig smycken."
