SHORT DAILY TEAM MEETINGS

We are again practicing short daily focused team meetings.
We have them in the team office, in front of the big workflow kanban chart.
It enables us to feel the rythm of daily work and avoid those tedious and boring long weekly meetings.

TESTS

One of the first practices applied on my current project was Test Driven Development.
Programming in Ada95, we downloaded the AUnit open-source test framework.
Team-members actually began to enjoy testing, even though is was traditionally seen as boring activity.
In our common workspace, you can often hear: "Thank god these tests exist! They just detected a regression I added while changing the code ...".
