I think the most memorable phrases that come out of
XPDAY05 will be those used by Tim Lister in his
keynote speech.
First,
Dead Fish of Failure describes the festering 'smell'
those projects have which are setup to fail from the beginning.
Second, imagine your project is a cruise liner or cargo freighter.
When it set sail it contained lots of cargo or user stories. As the
cruise progresses the act of descoping user stories from a sprint
or iteration is like throwing
cargo overboard . I wonder how many projects have
reached their destination with empty holds?
