Agile's one of the best things to happen to software in a way: it's good to know your competitors are stuck in ceremonies, arguing over story points.

- loloquwowndueo 2y agoLooks like you’re talking about Scrum. Ceremonies and story points aren’t in any way mandated by the Agile manifesto.
- yihtserns 2y agoThere is no "ceremonies" nor "story points" in the Scrum Guide. Perhaps you are referring to "Fake Scrum".
- loloquwowndueo 2y agoDaily scrum, sprint planning, retrospective and review are ceremonies, and they are totally mentioned in the guide. The guide also mentions the backlog refinement: “ This is an ongoing activity to add details, such as a description, order, and size.” It’s true that scrum doesn’t directly mention story points but tell me whether story points or t-shirt sizing aren’t the two most common ways to size a story.

Unless you mean programming, testing, discussions, code reviews, etc are ceremonies as well? > It’s true that scrum doesn’t directly mention story points but tell me whether story points or t-shirt sizing aren’t the two most common ways to size a story. Borrowing your own words: "...story points aren’t in any way mandated by the..." Scrum Guide.
