A Whole Lotta Crazy Goin On

With Financial Reform requiring all kinds of new processes and practices in the financial industry, you'd think that perhaps an Agile approach would provide the tools needed to respond to the constantly changing laws. We discussed ad nauseum, why Agile is required. With literally thousands of new reports that have to be produced, Financial Reform has certainly created jobs where I am. We have analysts with compliance, finance, technology, data warehousing, archiving, administration, data stewards, and many more working on the project. How will we keep track of everything that's going on? Unfortunately, the only thing Agile at this point is that we are having scrum meetings daily. It's still early in the project, so hopefully we'll arrive at more Agile processes, but for now, we are just storming. First, we are getting to know each other, figuring out who has what skills, and leveraging talents as much as we can. Follow this blog as this project takes on a life of it's own and perhaps, we'll find some new great tools and learn together.
