esults from an iteration<br />

Your iteration is just about complete...<br />

You’ve made it! You’ve successfully put your process in place: the stories<br />

have piled up in the Completed section <strong>of</strong> your board, and everyone’s<br />

ready for a little breather. Before people head out for the weekend,<br />

though, let’s do a quick status check:<br />

With testdriven<br />

development<br />

and automated<br />

testing, your<br />

code works...<br />

and you’ll always<br />

know if it stops<br />

working.<br />

318 Chapter 9<br />

What we’ve got<br />

Customer-driven functionality<br />

Compiling code<br />

Monitored builds<br />

Continuously tested code<br />

Solid test coverage<br />

Reliable progress tracking<br />

Pacing that adapts to the team<br />

The burn-down graph and velocity<br />

turn idealistic schedules into real,<br />

quantifiable dates and deliverables.<br />

That’s an impressive list—but don’t turn the<br />

lights out in the <strong>of</strong>fice just yet. Suppose all your<br />

hard work has resulted in a day or two to spare<br />

at the end <strong>of</strong> your iteration. What else could you<br />

do if you had more time?<br />

Skeptical you could have time left?<br />

A good velocity calculation, staying<br />

on task, and accurate estimates will<br />

get you there faster than you think.<br />

User stories and frequent customer<br />

interaction ensure your s<strong>of</strong>tware does<br />

what the customer wants it to do.<br />

You know if someone tries to check in<br />

code that won’t build—and because <strong>of</strong><br />

continuous integration, you know your<br />

code is always buildable.
