I’ll add an MIT or BSD type license to the project in the next few days

Thanks for the interest.

I’ll add a license shortly.

The code is available for commercial and non-commercial uses, but I’d like a small attribution/mention (so that it might spread more) . Based on the above I’ll use an Apache 2.0 license.

If this is not suitable for you, let me know and I’m sure we can arrange something

Is there a license file for the code hosted at https://github.com/elsewhat/com.elsewhat.android.slideshow ?

“This is simply because they do not need to be micro-managed.”

Scrum isn’t about micro-management. It’s about creating a shared conscience across the team and, it also highlights who’s having problems and who isn’t. i.e. It reveals to an observer who might be motivated and highly creative and who might not, it can hint that a team isn’t functioning well, that some people are being stifled and so on.

Scrum is then, about building high performance teams and delivering some stuff worth a damn (which requires a level of transparency because no team is perfect), that’s why there are observers and do’ers at stand-ups. Observers are coaches and interested parties not controllers or managers.

High quality developers know this, as do the best team builders (I am not a manager, I’m a coach and guide).

“Good programmers are driven and motivated by their excitement about technology”

I disagree, almost all programmers are motivated by that, just take a look at all the magazines (on and off line), twitter feeds, blogs and such. Everyone is doing that and it’s not the mark of a great programmer. A great programmer is motivated by using technologies to make a difference and knows that technology itself doesn’t solve problems, it’s the surrounding work such as design, testing (not just functional), a level of planning discipline etc.

I have been developing for almost 30 years and taken many large projects to market. I have consulted for 20 years and worked for many large corporation. I believe that “motivated” and “highly creative” developers hate scrum. This is simply because they do not need to be micro-managed. In fact, they are put on the defensive by it and it is the best way to not get the best out of them.

Good programmers are driven and motivated by their excitement about technology. Managers are motivate and excited by meetings. As, developers we have noticed this trend for many years. Scrum is the newest expression of this propensity. And, no high quality developers, that I have ever known, are going to be inspired by daily meetings about what they dud yesterday and what they will do today. Programming “velocity” just does not work that way.

I am still amazed at how some CIOs are fooled by the lure of ‘agile’. They have absolutely no clue as to the permanent wounds that will be left in an organization once the genie is unleashed. Fantastic developers become disgruntled coders. Lazy coders become… well actually they stay the same. And mediocre programmers become lazy coders.

Check out this hilarious video as to why a CIO would even consider agile in the first place.
