IEEE news – Feb. 2010

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Feb. 16 IEEE Computer Society meeting, Eastern North Carolina Section: I’ve been invited to participate on a panel on “Practical Software Development” with two local luminaries: Andy Hunt (/\ndy) and Robert Galen.

People who RSVP can suggest specific questions they’d like us to tackle, and moderator John Baker promises to bring some additional ‘clever questions’ on balancing agility and discipline. If you’re in the Raleigh area, do plan to come by at 6pm for pizza and the lively discussions that are sure to ensue! IEEE Members and guests are welcome.

Where: Engineering Building I Room 1005 Centennial Campus NCSU

RSVP to John Baker at jbaker (at) etechsuccess.com to confirm your attendance and suggest questions for the panel.

This blog has been quiet for a while, partly due to a shift in employer focus away from coaching agile, TSP, and CMMI, and towards research in requirements engineering, technology evaluation, and software architecture. I’m delighted to be reviving this blog now with the addition of new topics (including QFD, ADD, AHP, PrIME) and an outstanding new collaborator, Dr. Qingfeng He! It also seems likely that agile coaching activities will resume in the near future, based upon grass-roots demand for Scrum, which we’re excited about. Look for more new posts and publications here in the near future!
