What is Agile, and why do some people think it means doing nothing?
I once worked in an Agile team where we had to collaborate on a milestone. We were supposed to create wireframes to showcase our solution to a specific problem. The task was meant to be a team effort, but guess what? I ended up doing everything—brainstorming features, structuring the solution, and designing the wireframes. It was exhausting!
If you’ve ever worked in an Agile team, you’ve probably met that one person who just sits back and lets everyone else do the work. They don’t contribute, don’t care if the team fails, and worst of all, they won’t even appreciate those putting in the effort.
Please, be a team member that others can rely on. Show up. Do your part. Meet deadlines. Be the person your teammates know they can count on. And if for some reason you can’t actively participate, at least give moral support. Because let’s be honest, when we work together, the magic happens. Ideas flow, tasks become easier, and results come faster. But if your main contribution in meetings is winning the award for "Best in Keeping Quiet," my dear, we need to talk.
Agile Team: A team that works together to solve problems, usually made up of a project manager, research analyst, software engineer, UI/UX designer, and others.
Wireframes: The first sketches of a design before actual implementation. They serve as blueprints for a website or app, showing how the user interface will look. You can draw them on paper or use digital tools like Figma.
