It’s been a while since I posted, and it’s funny how my posts tend to reflect the problems I’m facing on the projects, so, when those problems becomes less technology related… the posts become less technology related as well. So the next one up: I see it over and over again that on the government… Read More »
It seems to be very common when there is a project which is trying to implement SCRUM, and which can never really do it because of the inherent problem which occurs when there is a dedicated QA team.
