I wonder about these workshops (even asked Uncle Bob Martin about them in a recent thread). I can't shake the feeling they are the exact opposite of agility (obviously, he is better qualified than me to judge that). Their limited time schedules, which is essentially a bound over the amount of contact between the client and the supplier, seems analogous to the infamous "requirements document". Also, there doesn't appear to be a "shippable" product at the end - the developers apparently don't end up practicing TDD. I used to be an instructor for a living, and I kind-of equated lectures to waterfall and exercises to XP. There is even a semantically analogous term in teaching research, problem-based learning (each word corresponds to the respective word in test-driven development - cool, right?). Is there anyone else who sees these analogues, or am I completely crazy here? |
