Why I Have Never Written About Agile Development

Too Long; Didn't Read

I’ve spent a large majority of my time as a software developer researching and integrating process. It all started from working in a chaotic environment as a single developer trying to figure out how to come up with accurate estimates. Following a 5 day course on IT Project Management, I asked the instructor how I should approach planning in my situation. He recommended I look into agile development. From there I found a book called <a href="https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/books/agile-estimating-and-planning" target="_blank">“Agile Estimating and Planning”</a> by Mike Cohn. This was my introduction to the concept of User Stories, Planning Poker and different ways of breaking stories down to a size where they can be estimated. I was hooked on learning about being agile from that point on.
