Processes, tools, and extensive documentation are not going to save your ass, but the Agile Manifesto may. A friend just landed a job after a long hiatus. The very next day, I asked him if he’d been fired yet. I know, I’m mean, but with my close friends, this is how we communicate. Don’t judge. He laughed (Narrator: in fact he did not) and then, for the bazillionth time, told me how nice it must be working at Microsoft.
