Not so much of a secret now you've ...Hi allan,<br /><br />Not so much of a secret now you've mentioned it in your blog ;-)<br /><br />My team is definitely moving down the pyramid as you describe. We essentially started out with XP. <br /><br />Our biggest revelation of the past 6 months is that it's cheaper over the whole development practice to have developers run acceptance tests. The developer coding the feature runs the tests once on their dev boxes, a second developer runs them on their test kit and then finally run by testers at the end to make sure we haven't missed anything.<br /><br />It seems like this should be hugely inefficient, after all it's 3 people doing the same work isn't it? And those devs could be doing other features?<br />It turns out though that we've implemented a kind of one piece flow whose main benefit is reducing the cycle time in the queue.<br /><br />The rest of the team don't know anything about Lean Thinking, and yet this is where we have ended up as a direct result of inspecting our process, picking a problem in it and adapting the process.Edward Heretschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905153355475532220noreply@blogger.com
