How to Say 'No' the Agile Way

I originally wanted to write about how to start an agile project, possibly the pilot agile project in your organization--if it was starved of resources, people, machines, space, whatever. But I can’t write that article because no advice is worth the space. You shouldn’t even start that project.

Let me be clear about what a starved project is: That’s a project where you’re busy counting the FTEs (Full Time Equivalent) because no one is assigned to this project full time. Or it’s a project with no testers. Or a project with no database people (even though the database is an integral part of the project). Or it’s a project with no testbed, even though you can’t move the product directly to production; you have to test it first.
