How Agile Software Craftsmanship is key to lasting quality
Category:Technical AgilitySoftware craftmanship is an important practice for quality and scalability in an Agile organization.
From the late 60s through the early 80s, social scientists and Stanford psychologists conducted a series of tests.
They found that where a city windows were broken, it led to more broken windows. Ultimately, this led to the deterioration of the building.
Conversely, the identical buildings across the street with no broken windows remained untouched!
So, how does this relate to your Agile teams’ pride in code quality and Software Craftmanship?
