What A Rough Week

We’re getting ready to wind down on our first week in Agile-mode. Hmm. It was really interesting working this way and I am definitely tired as all heck (averaging 5 hours sleep a night - generally succumbing with my laptop on my chest).

Duane and I are both positive about the work we got done, but we’ve definitely highlighted some refinements we need to make in the process. We’ve certainly moved the system forward from the outside, however, being the perfectionists we are, we also want to move the backend at the same time.

One interesting observation from our call this morning - refactoring happens in later passes not the first. It’s a hard thing to get used to when we’ve taken a pathway that has stayed the course of fortitude when we’ve shifted to building snowmen on a sunny day.

We skipped our day for documentation and refinement this week. Why? We have a new little project we plan to release very soon (like within two weeks) and we needed to put some time into it. As a small (aka 2-person) shop, it’s hard often to have the time to do things right all the time. This little project is definitely but so we’ll be sharing the excitement very soon - we promise.
