I see many software teams using user stories, making estimates, predicting how many of these stories fit into the next Sprint, and when a particular set of stories may be done. But what about getting feedback and reacting to it? Thinking that the first version of a feature will be great is ignorant. Get feedback, improve and iterate! Yes, now, estimates are useless. But your product will be useful to your users.

Has anyone used the #PersonalSoftwareProcess (a.k.a. #PSP)?

How did you learn it? I am trying to learn by myself, but the learning process highly recommends taking classes with a coach/trainer. Is it really worth it?

I have also found that the exercises are aimed towards a #waterfall approach, so have you used it with a highly #iterative / #agile approach like #tdd?

As a reference, I'm following the #psp for the 21st century (https://softwareexcellencealliance.org/psp-for-the-21st-century/) but there are also materials for the whole thing:

* PSP for Engineers - https://softwareexcellencealliance.org/psp-for-engineers-version-4-course/
* PSP Fundamentals - https://softwareexcellencealliance.org/psp-fundamentals-and-advanced/

(It's also difficult to understand which one to select. There are overlaps in both versions)

I read the book from W. S. Humphrey but I found it somewhat difficult to follow after the first few chapters.

@RecursiveNeuron #OOP vs. #iterative

If you rely solely on "big bang" A/B #testing without #iterative components, you will never find out what actually brought regressions or improvements.

Even if you succeed, you never learn.

I used to work on a government service IT team.

Of course, I am also a user, since government usually has a monopoly on #government services.

As I use the service I used to help build, I'm always pleased to see how people who joined the team after I left are continuing to carry the #usability torch, as evidenced by further #iterative improvements.

#PRINCE2 : #Iterative ? Yes (manage by stages). #Agile ? Not necessarily. Waterfall ? No, unless it is a small, single stage, single work package project.

Waterfall #software development process does not exist. An individual #project may have a #waterfall structure, but no published waterfall methodologies, books, or courses exist, only #agile and #iterative https://sgryphon.gamertheory.net/2022/01/12/waterfall-does-not-exist/
