Software Craftsmanship

Agile Software Development

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and  helping others do it. Through this work we

have come to value:

Individuals and interactions over processes and toolsWorking software over comprehensive documentationCustomer collaboration over contract negotiation

Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items onthe right, we value the items on the left more.

“This Agile thing looks great. We want to ‘do’ it.”… and the Agile Transformation Era began.

And then we spent over 10 year focusing on...

… process, people, interactions, team building, reducing waste and bureaucracy, the

ecosystem…

… and processes and tools became more important than technical excellence.

Individuals and interactions over processes and toolsHmm! I forgot that manifesto

thing…

 Many Agile projects are now, steadily and iteratively, producing crap mediocre

software.

The Agile Hangover

But what is to be Agile anyway?

What is Software Craftsmanship?

Software Craftsmanship is all about putting responsibility, professionalism,

pragmatism and pride back into software development

Building the right thing right.

Adding Value

Through Practices

Don't discuss practices, discuss value

~ Corey Haines

… and that's why we practice

Mastering practices is hard …

The Quality Myth

Quality cannot be measured.

Code coverage is a dangerous metric and should never be used as a target or management tool.

Software Craftsmanship is a long journey to mastery

Software Craftsmanship Attitude

PassionCareer ownership

Deliberate practice

Boy scout rule

If you want to be treated as a professional, start behaving like

one.

Herbert de Souza (Betinho)

Good practices are good until we find better ones to replace them.

Agile software development is not Scrum

Software Craftsmanship is not about beautiful code, TDD, or any technical practice.

It's about continuously delivering value via well-crafted software

Craftsmanship is not enough to guarantee the success of a project, but the lack of it can be the main cause of its failure

What does it mean to be a software craftsman?

How it is done is as important as getting it done
