Great post. Internet is lacking examples like these on OOD principles. One question though. Is there any reason to create a Filter method in ProductFilterSpecification class when we can as well expose ApplyFilter method.

The reporting structures can still stay in tact. The only difference is that the review process changes to allow feedback from others on the individuals performance within the team structure. Self organization towards a project goal does not negate the individuals manager from growing the individual in their career.

Think professional sports. Each position has their own coach to help them grow as an athlete but come game time everyone comes together as one team. Dependent upon their performance at game time and the individuals direct coach will determine the viability of the athlete going forward.

Joe,

I'm fully bought into the value of cross-functional project teams. The value seems pretty clear to me.

But how does a company manage formal, functional reporting? If an agile team has 1 scrum master, 1 DBA, 1 UI developer, and 3 Java developers, who does these people report to? Who manages their reviews, salary adjustments, bonuses, etc.?

Agile is pretty clear that teams should be "self-organizing" but these teams often live in organizations that have more formal practices. How does these things co-exist?

Joe, your comments are true for CSM as for any other certification. Some people are good at taking tests but does not mean it translates into good practitioners, in this case, they don't even have to take a test, just warm up a chair for two days is enough, so anybody with a temperature over 86 degrees qualifies. Certifications are a way of saving time by discrimitating who can take your time during the interview, but it is the organizations responsibility to ascertain whether the person applying for the job is a good fit for the organization and for the tasks request from him/her. Organizations are cutting down organization size in the name of "optimizing" but just cutting the number is not enough. Managers have less time to conduct interviews and are not properly prepared or trained, so organizations rely heavily on certifications when they should train interviewers to do a better job of filtering and select the correct applicant.

Using a BDD framework, scenario specifications can be automated as acceptance tests, thereby creating active affidavit that is in accompany with the code. These days there is a plethora of Open Source BDD frameworks covering just about every programming language and platform.
