Hey USA! Thanks for Global Recession!
Yes it’s official – we have recession. It doesn’t matter if you work in America, Europe, Australia or Asia. Sooner or later it’s gonna get you. But is it really bad news for us Agile people? I’m more than sure it’s not. Why?
Let’s face the truth – in hard times when companies have to cut costs and work efficiently, Agile seems to be a perfect methodology for them. Ironically not because it just works but because it’s cheap.
Companies will have to learn how to deliver fully working and bugs-free products on time (because bug fixing is expensive). Moreover, customers will start asking about iterative deliveries (to control spendings), better communication, tests reports (test code coverage, acceptance tests, end-to-end…), early integration, etc. Everything to finally know what are they paying for.
So believe or not but sometimes bad news means good news – like less is more.
