The "Three Ways to Stop Agile Death Marches" by Johanna Rothman from her blog at www.JRothman.com The Agile Death March Project, is the Project that you all believe is destined for failure. The project where your superiors are pushing you to complete the project against your better judgment. In this episode we're taken through three key ideas that you can apply to your agile projects. Three ideas that can help you avoid the Agile Death March. Firstly, Estimations (or rather not estimating), Secondly experimenting with collaboration and lastly starting to collaborate to stop starting and . . . . start finishing. If you'd like to learn more about these techniques and other insightful techniques then I'd recommend reading Johanna's book Create Your Successful Agile Project: Collaborate, Measure, Estimate, Deliver In this book Johanna espouses working from agile and lean principles to design and build your own agile approach in a way that works for you. If you’ve tried to use an off-the-shelf approach to agile, and you've found aspects lacking, then this book is for you.
