A recent article in CIO magazine both referenced and reminded me of an "Are You Agile?" post out on our website from several years ago that included the following disqualifying criteria.
You might not be agile if:
- The 'Send/Receive' and 'Save As' buttons initiate most team communication
- Your white boards are mostly white
- "Test-driven" still refers to your car
- You don't yet know what PHB stands for (hint)
- You know what CPM stands for, and continue to rely upon it
- You spend more time trying to manage project dependencies than remove them
- Someone still believes Can't Charts (oops, that's Gantt Charts)
- Developers only develop, testers only test, and managers just manage
- Simplicity is presumed to be simple, and
- A Change Control Board meets... ever
