Development Team
No Titles
“Everybody... has exactly the same job. …
..exactly the same job description,
and that is to ship products.
Your job is not to write code.
Your job is not to test.
Your job is not to write specs.
Your job is to ship products.
That’s what a product development group does.”

“When you wake up in the morning and you come
in to work, you say, ‘What is the focus - are we
trying to ship or are we trying to write code?’
The answer is we are trying to ship. You’re not
trying to write code, you’re trying to not write
code.”

Definition of Done
Suntha: Hey, Buntha! Did you finish that feature yet?
Buntha: Hold on a second,” ………………………………………………… Done! ………It only took me half a day.
Suntha : Wow, that’s impressive. I thought it would take at least a day. Can I look at it now?”
Buntha: Well, not quite. I haven’t integrated into our main code branch yet and someone has to review the code.
We have new test coverage standards we’ve agreed to follow.
Suntha : Once you do that, can I look at it? I want to show it to our new clients.
Buntha: Well, I wouldn’t show it to anybody yet. It wont have the customers branding. And you can’t install it.
I haven’t updated the installer or the database schema generator
Suntha : I don’t understand. I thought you said you were done!
Buntha: I am. I finished coding as you walked in. Here, I’ll show you.
Suntha : I don’t need to see the code. I need to show this to our customers. I need it to be finished. Really finished.
Buntha: Why didn’t you say so? The feature is done—it’s all coded up. It’s just not done done. Give me two more days.”
Suntha : Will it have the customers’ branding? Also will it comply with their data protection policy.
Buntha : No, and no. Our designer is on holiday and there’s a 1 week lead time to go through Compliance
