Hello from Berlin!

Food for Agile Thought’s issue #157 applauds Martin Fowler for his Agile Australia keynote on Agile 2018, we learn about the road to mediocrity, and we ask: Is the Peter Principle not a satire but reality?

We also address the issue of hidden (technical) costs of being ‘agile,’ as well the how to solve the conflict between prioritizing business needs as well as maintaining the health of the code base.

Lastly, we deal with the challenges of planning poker in a short and entertaining video.

Have a great week!

Best,
Stefan
