E-MailPitfalls of Agile IV: The Planning-Only Transition
In this series of Advisors, I'm exploring some typical problems traditionally trained managers run into when their organization starts to use agile (see "Hidden Pitfalls of Agile: Self-Organization," 14 January 2010, "Hidden Pitfalls of Agile: User Contact," 12 November 2009, and "Hidden Pitfalls of Agile: Transparency," 10 December 2009). In previous Advisors, I have already discussed the unexpected effects of close client contact, transparency, and self-organization. Today's topic is the common failure pattern of an incomplete transition.

Israel Gat (Director of Agile Practices for the Cutter Consortium) was kind enough to invite Damon Edwards (DTO Solutions) over for beers in his backyard to discuss a wide range of topics including Agile, DevOps, and the measurement of Technical Debt.
