visualizing agile projects
I found this article today via the crystalclear list I follow: http://www.infoq.com/articles/agile-kanban-boards
Several of the described information radiators will already be familiar if you’ve been following agile. The most novel - one I have no choice but to love - is the “Smiley Calendar” Seriously, getting feedback on team morale this way seems like a […]refactoring your wetware
Tonight I attended an excellent ARTp (Agile RTP) session featuring Andy Hunt of Pragmatic Programmers, on “refactoring your wetware” (improving your brain; topic of his upcoming book which is ‘in beta’). Well attended, and very enjoyable.

Check out the new SEI-approved Virtual SPIN. There isn’t an agile CMMI group (yet), but I do see some agile-related discussions there already. I’ve joined.

I’m so pleased to be able to announce that Aldo Dagnino has been selected as the 2008 winner of the SEI Outstanding Contributor Award, which was presented to him at SEPG 2008 in Tampa, Florida last week. Aldo has consistently published and presented on business-driven process improvement and blending the CMMI with agile methods. Most […]
self-organization
Check out Don Highsmith’s Cutter article on self-organizing, suggesting that the term has lost its value to the agile community, and Tobias Mayer’s response. I lean towards believing the phrase still carries useful meaning which is significantly different from ‘anarchy’.

addthis_pub = ‘agileteams’;the death of agility?
Bob Aiello of CM Crossroads is ‘predicting the death of Agility’ in item 6 of this CM Crossroads article (TB). From where I sit, I don’t see it dying at all; I view it as continuing to evolve and adapt, to knowingly apply just the right amount of the right kind of discipline for each […]
choosing strategies
Today I found an essay on choosing development strategies which briefly references PSP and TSP. I generally agree with the essay’s principles and arguments, and the main point that one size does not fit all. But I noticed that the descriptions of PSP and TSP were rudimentary at best - a one-liner on the assumed […]
