This is poignant as I just left a 3 hour scrum "sprint planning" meeting. I'm reminded of what Hal Abelson wrote in his recent Code Quarterly interview with Peter Seibel:
"I’ve decided that from now on, I should be measuring the quality of my life by the ratio of the amount of time spent programming to the amount of time sitting in meetings."

- chubot 15y agoYeah it's hilarious how the original "let's get things done and plan this sprint" has been replaced by run-of-the-mill ass-covering and bean counting and pushing for sloppier software on shorter deadlines. If you can't change people's motivations, no process is going to help you produce better software.
