The Squirrel Test

from Troubleshooting Agile Hosted by A weekly problem-solving session for all things agile

This week we take a short break from the Agile Principles to discuss The Squirrel Test - 12 questions to help founders improve their scale-up company's performance. We also find out if Squirrel, in creating the test, has practiced what he's preached regarding the agile principles. Has he produced working software? Sought early feedback? Kept it simple? Made the most of face-to-face communication? Retained a constant pace? Created a supportive environment for his team? Find out in this week's podcast. We'd like to apologise for the sound quality this week. With Jeffrey on the road we had some mic difficulties that we were unable to fix. We thought about not posting an episode at all, but didn't want to disappoint regular listeners by missing a week. So, again, our apologies for the quality. Next week we will be back to a silky smooth sound. *** LINKS: -The Squirrel Test: http://squirreltest.com -The Joel Test: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08/09/the-joel-test-12-steps-to-better-code/ *** We'd love to hear any thoughts, ideas or feedback you have regarding the show.
