> Each Agile Dating experiment is called a Sprint, beginning with a Kick-off and ending with a Check-in. I found that two weeks was a good length for a Sprint - just long enough to get a decent sense of a partner.

After years of working as a dev in several "agile" shops, reading this just gives me the creeps.

Things get a little weird when the Product Owner shows up at the first Retrospective. But you have to remember, in some cultures, they even show up at Planning.

Rating your dates with Story Points also feels a lot less natural at first, until you realise how impersonal it is to rate them with exact time.

If things go well this week, I think I’m finally ready to invite her to my personal kanban.

Yeah I let out a nice belly laugh as soon as I saw that. I may actually give this a read later though as a chronically single dev.
