Comment on Don't draw diagrams of wrong practices – or: Why people still believe in the Waterfall model by Tarmo Toikkanen

Good question, Simo. I see no reason why you couldn’t apply these methods to any field. Scrum and Kanban are just project management processes. Kanban has its roots in automotive production, while Scrum was first applied to software, but those should not be limitations. But make sure you don’t just “use Scrum”, but rather look at its principles and its various techniques, and adapt parts of it that make sense into your work process. If you follow a methodology “by the book”, you’re not agile. Even if it’s called an agile method. :)

My limited understanding of constructing buildings is that they also happen quite iteratively. While some elements have already been placed, the architect might still redesign how electricity might be done, and stuff like that. And certainly constructing a new building is always non-routine, meaning a naive linear process without reflection and adjustments would not work optimally.

As an architect (a “real” one who designs buildings and environment) with a vague understanding of software development I wonder why architects don’t seem to be making good use of scrum or kanban. Basically I don’t see a fundamental difference between designing software and designing buildings. Does anyone know why I shouldn’t introduce a similar method to architectural design practices? I’m dying to try it out.

Eksyin tänne hakiessani lisätietoa filosofian kurssiin. Itse koin kirjoituksen kiehtovaksi ja ajattelun arvoiseksi rinnastukseksi tekniikan ja filosofian välillä. Jospa Kansalainen ei sattunut huomaamaan, että teksti on laadittu asianmukaisesti “Philosophy”-osioon ilman mitään väitteitä sen kuulumisesta neurotieteen ja tekoälyn oppikirjaan.

Joskus muinoin oli aika, jolloin filosofialla sai tuulettaa ajatuksiaan ilman että joku nimesi tieteiden äidin kärkevästi “viisasteluksi”. Ja ei, ei siihen kuka vain kykene. Eri tekstilajit ja ajattelutavat vaativat erilaista pääkoppaa.

Yeah, I am in the same boat as you, I think badges are awesome, and I really want the project to take off. It feels kinda silly taking an intro course, but the hippy-dippy part of me is showing up to class wearing sandals and telling everyone we should go study in the drum circle in the quad…

Okay, that analogy got out of hand quickly. ^_^

Yes I agree, love the Open Badge project and can’t wait to get started. I think it will be a good motivational tool to help people get into the right gear

Monessa koulussa tehdään googlen palveluihin oppilaille tilejä, vaikka oikeasti käyttöehdot kieltää sen. Ohessa yksi googlen blokkaama käyttäjätili.
