agile development - wth is that?

The answer is far too boring but there are many big books I can direct you to that describes the concepts of minimum viable product, stand ups , sprints etc..

Mind you the builders in here are probably well versed in minimum viable product but they will know it as the least amount of work you can get away with

Other platforms are available. You can have, robust development, or you can have rapid development, but you can't have robust rapid development! (*)


(*) - Coding software solutions since 1986

I mostly do PM contracts but I've done quite a bit of IT/dev stuff over the years too and this is my conversation with the powers that be ....

There's a triangle on projects - Cost, Quality, Time - which 2 would you like for this project?

1. We can deliver fast and cheap, but don't expect good quality
2. We can deliver fast and high quality, but it's gonna cost ya
3. We can deliver high quality at a lower cost, but you ain't getting it this week

Management always demand that they will get all three at the start of the project.... it's only as the project gets in flight that reality kicks in.

Seems Zwift are going for option 1

It requires a daily stand up ..... your knee is probably not up to it

Trying to run the update ... It's hanging and can't open Zwift. Looks like the 'fix' may not be a fix for everyone

New UNO-X race series by feltet.dk. Follows more or less the same concept as the previous series with pre-/post race write ups, team competition etc. Races are done 19.15 UK on Tuesdays.

I appear to like beer and cake too much to advance to Cat C...

Now I'm free (so far) or that chest infection hopefully I'll start to see some improvements over the next few weeks. Might see you in cat C in September

Very tempted by that - just the fact that it's an hour later than the DBR races makes it a lot easier for me to schedule around, plus being on Tuesday means I am likely to be more rested (tend to do an IRL ride on Sundays). Definitely doing the DBR this week though - got to see how I go on a flat course for once!

However if my work says we have to return to working in the office any time soon (as I think they might), then all leagues are out of the question for me, as I'll be back to getting home at 8pm again...

I rode 2 group rides and after latest update Zwift seems to work fine for me. Don't know is it a bug or weight adjustment but i saw few turboboostafterburnmissileinbound speedsters.

Not everyone is able to update yet. Apple devices will probably have to wait until next week.

Apple macOS update is available but OS X update comes later.

Have to say the last feltet.dk series was really well done so would be tempted...it's also a better time and day for me.

But we are doing really well in the Dbr league so we probably have to choose one or the other, it's only fun if everyone is doing the same one really

You mean tvOS/iPadOS/iOS, right? Apple devices are AppleTV, iPhones and iPads. macOS is used on computers - not devices.

I meant that Apple laptop and desktop computers is update available. Yesterday i update my MacBook pro and today i installed another update, that update came later yesterday i think or earlier today. Yes i meant iOS when i meant mobile devices and Apple TV .

I can only do one I'm afraid, and as I don't work on Mondays, but do work on Tuesdays, for me the Monday race works best. I'll stick with the Monday league for now whilst I'm in C cat still. I don't mind though if others need to ride on Tuesday as it suits them better
