13 Symptoms of Unhappiness

I found this little gem in a presentation of Sam Guckenheimer. He explains how each problem can be solved with VSTS. Also from this presentation:

"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
Tolstoy, Anna Karenina


13 Symptoms of Unhappiness

• It's the code, stupid!


• Actually it's the requirements!


• No, the problem is that you neglected the architecture!


• Architecture, schmarchitecture. I just want a working build.


• What good is that the way we mix up versions?!


• Not code versions, but the environments, don't you get it?


• Ever heard of security?!


• Yeah, but you ignored performance, duh!


• So what if it worked in the lab -- it's still unmanageable!


• Oh, and did we mention testing?


• Since you're not measuring it, you can't manage it anyway!


• With a process like that, what do you expect?


• It's our culture - you'll never change that.
