A Questionnaire for Agilists

I am working on another written piece where the “working title” is “The Agilist: A Series of Perspectives”.

So far I have interviewed several folks who call themselves “Agilists” and I am collecting their thoughts and forming an impression of how I want to write about this new Job Title / Skill set.

Here is the questionnaire for your review / reference. If you would like, please download a copy and fill it out as best you can so that we can schedule a discussion together. Send your responses to me and I will reach out to contact you for follow up.

• How did you discover this title / role?
• What is your relationship with other roles in your Agile projects?
  • Business Owner

  • Project / Program Manager
  • Infrastructure Architect
  • Software Engineer
  • Resource / Performance Manager

• When engaged in the development of Story Boards, do you use any techniques for elaborating the details within and / or around each Story Board entry?
• How do you determine when there is enough detail included in a set of Story Boards to release them to a SPRINT for development and roll out?
• What factors are included in deciding that some feature of Story Board entry will be posted to a Back Log rather than in the current SPRINT development efforts?
• How do you determine when “re-factoring” is required?
• Where and when do you introduce the re-factoring needs to the Story Boarding and SPRINT processes?
• How do you determine when your Story Boarding efforts should be concluded?
• How do you reconcile the features included in the app with the Story Board items?
