I got yelled at because I was not
breaking up my assignment to do a
firmware for a mouse like device in "extreme" mode, nor did it seem to
be useful to do it in "agile" mode.
Hard to break down a task to take mouse input and send it to a usb port
into "phases" that can be tested individually. Either it is a fricking
mouse, or it is a pile of useless C code. I never did get it thru
management's head that there wasn't much in between.
BTW, it did succeed in turning about 1 1/2 weeks of work which could
have been completed in a straight line into about 4 weeks on their
schedule with some sort of excuse in their scrum meetings why it wasn't
done, or where I was.
You can apply YAGNI in an absolute manner in your

monastery up there on top of the ivory tower. [...]
Just the way you are phrasing
this statement tells me that you don't
understand what Extreme Programming is about.
