STRIPS by Scrum Manager

Agility, in comic strips

Humour to recognise what's not quite so funny in your own team.

This week's strip

Four-panel comic strip: at night, a relieved client finally finds an assistant on his laptop and asks it what to put in box fourteen; in the back room, the one answering turns out to be a tax advisor typing away, and a team member whispers to the Product Owner whether this isn't cheating; she points at the whiteboard, showing 214 questions, and explains that it is an experiment of two weeks, twenty users and zero code; the advisor reports that the client says it is the most human assistant he has ever tried, the Product Owner concludes that now they know users ask and that it is time to build it, and the teammate cheers: "At last!".

Assistance amplifies, it does not fix

Validated means it solves, not that it works

Generated is not done

Every strip hides a concept

Behind every panel there is an agile management concept and a link to keep pulling the thread.
