1. Our last release was complicated, chaotic, and poorly estimated. Nevertheless, it made it into production without a single significant defect. Rather than attributing this to cross-functional teamwork, thoughtful implementation by development or (my favorite of course), well-executed risk-based testing (with much help from other areas), I was told that the successful release was due to "luck." (By someone who should know better.)
2. Story problem:
5 days in a sprint.
5 hours of allocation to sprint work per day.
One day of the week needs to be subtracted from allocation due to an offsite meeting.
One QA resource is assigned to two teams to cover vacationing analysts.
Said individual committed to 28 hours for one team.
Now I'm not good at math, but...
And why didn't anybody call him out on it during planning?
