Agile transparency: From blame game to cooperation
Level: Practicing
Agile processes focus on openness and transparency. Elitist developers embrace this, but many feel exposed and threatened by always having to answer for how every hour of the day is spent. Transparency in agile methodologies is a tool to promote cooperation. But often this transparency creates uncertainty and hostility. It can be used for playing the blame game between developers and it can also be used for micro management by managers. In order to turn the counterproductive blame game into cooperation, the team members need to be aware of this problem.
