Agile project management with XP Manual

MANUAL GESTIÓN DE PROYECTOS ÁGILES

The Scrum burn-down is also a very good radiator of information about the progress of the iteration:

One of the great advantages of information radiators is that the status of the project is always visible to everyone. For the developers, for the scrum master and above all for the customers, who can see at a glance and with hardly any technical knowledge whether certain functionalities are already implemented in the current sprint.

Work reasonable hours to be productive There are some good practices that should simply be considered common sense. Working reasonable hours to be productive should apply in any context. The thing is that software development is such a special kind of task that it seems like we can be programming all day long with just a cup of coffee by our side. The problem is that, at a certain point, productivity drops to the point where we start making mistakes that do more damage than the benefit we could get from working longer hours. At certain points in development it may be necessary to "make an effort" and stay a few hours longer, but this will be a bad sign and the problems that caused it should be solved as soon as possible. Intellectual work such as software development under a lot of pressure over a long period of time inevitably leads to the development of low quality products.
