    I fully agree. It’s supposed to be the scrum masters job to keep that away from the devs so that they can focus.

    Management and other stakeholders are also supposed to be in agreement on both the agile method, and also the book of work for the sprint.

    Obviously, if some priority changes mid sprint which is important, the team can agree to pick it up at the expense of agreed upon deliverables

    Yes. Yes it is. Well, sort of… Basically it’s getting a physical deliverable out of the door in a set time frame. Your team agrees that they can do all the work to bring a feature, x, up to spec and out of the door in (usually) two week increments.

    However, that requires some caveats. The work is agreed upon by all parties that it’s doable - including testing, debugging and deploying. No other work (with the exception of fires etc) is to be introduced to the team in that period. All the dependencies have been highlighted and accounted for. There is a solid, agreed upon definition of done.

    However, corpos don’t follow this











  • Very good point re. Braille readers. I was being flippant and did not think of that. My apologies. Tabs for indentation may be useful there. as would a blind-friendly pre- and post- processor for programming language specific files (a braille liner, could call it black-er for python :)

    I don’t know how braille readers actuality work, but I guess they process a bytestream. How do they handle utf-16 and other non standard character sets? This is a known problem for a lot of systems- it would be interesting to know how they address it.
