I don’t mean to be overly critical, but your survey seems to have a strong implication that documentation and standardization must be sacrificed for speed and agility. I don’t agree that this is what agile is about. If anything, documentation makes organizations more agile. The problem is the process that is generally used to delivery that documentation. I think what you are really saying is that it is silly to stop working on delivering solutions in order to fool around in Microsoft Word for a week documenting what you’ve already delivered. Yes, of course I would agree with that. But that does not mean that documentation is the problem. Many tools will document for you as part of the delivery process.

Thank you for your comment Pawel.

As you can guess, this quiz is by no mean “scientific”. It is meant to open conversations between people managers who are embarking on an agile transition and their coach. Do you also use a quiz to asses the maturity of the team and their manager?

Fair point Macel. Indeed, removing the word “always” would probably have made it more challenging for people to pick the correct answer. I will keep that in mind for future questionnaires.

Thanks for your comment.
