SCRUM, XP and TDD - Agile Software Development

Scrum is the most important and widely used agile method as XP. Whatever the scrum or other agiles, two core factors:

1) Coordination
C: The work item belongs to all members, but not only one. Every one should be enthusiastic on working out all work items in a sprint however some of them are not assigned to him at beginning. They have only one final goal, delivering the project on time efficiently and high quality.

2) Positivity
C: That's why in MS, PMs, developers and testers are in the same level. All members should participate the project actively. The team should be responsible for the project but not the PM only. One failed all failed!

In China, there are already some teams using Agile even XP now. Surely, scrum also seems strange to them. Have you agreed that in China, from developing technologies (application level) speaking, we're not weeker than US/UK guys. But projecting is normally 5~10 years behindhand. Most developers, PMs, and even company owners pay less attention on PROJECTING.

The developers mostly care on how to make the code beautifully and clearly. The PMs mostly care on delivering project on time. The CEOs mostly care on getting the money from customers faster. They're not wrong, but they're short eyes. They're producing software, it bases on human but not machine. It doesn't base on only one guy, but a group. So the first thing is HOW TO BUILD THE TEAM! WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR TEAM RUNNING.

The BUILDING AND PROCESS is not the silver bullet for a employee of a company. But it should be caused by the high level managers. Frankly, most chairmen in China is not expert on software, but have a perfect relationship to sell them whatever they are!
