Martin Fowler has an article about Incremental migration. Just goes to show that by dividing problems into smaller increments you will get benefits in most situations. It is important to have the mindset to always look at how you can break a task into simpler parts. Not as easy always, but important.
I went on a trip with three mates to see the western part of Norway this summer. You know, where the fjords and the mountains are. On one of the ferries I came across a poster with the Viking Laws on it. The authenticity could probably be disputed, but they fit nicely into agile software development. Agile isn’t all that new I guess. 😉 Here they are:
Be brave and aggressive
Be prepared
Be a good merchant
Keep the camp in order
So now we can feel a bit rutheless and barbaric when trying to be agile. A good poster in any agile team’s room. 🙂
I havn’t really found the FIT/Fitnesse documentation to be very good, maybe I didn’t look hard enough. 🙂 This fixturegallery looks like a good place to start and check when you have questions.
