• This (new) developers life
  
  started on this road almost a decade ago in 2002, and I have to search back to around that time to identify with the concepts and stories in the podcast. Let me show you an example from my own history Books written – 0 Blog Posts – 25 Tweets - 2,621Today I discovered the podcast “ This Developer’s Life ”. It’s a very differently crafted podcast. Very true to the style of "This American Life” that it’s name is borrowed from. It is more in a story telling venue, better production quality, not about API’s or even craftsmanship, but rather “common” themes to lives programmers.

• Gartner talks up Pattern Based Strategy
  
  Since posting up the 2009 EuroPLoP paper I’ve spent some time on the whole, I know have a 230 page draft of a book and I’m starting to approach publishers. Some years ago Harvard Business Review ran a piece on how spotting patterns in birds could help with business strategy - see Spotting Patterns on the Fly from HBR November 2002. For those who don’t know, Gartner group are a business/technology research outfit who produce reports on things technical and business related. Sometimes they are leading opinion and sometimes following. Notice the “(tm)”. Getting back to Gartner.

• On project management
  
  In their book “Lean Software Development” Mary and Tom Poppendieck explain why much project management practice is contrary to the principles of lean. Henry Mintzberg wrote an entire book in criticism of strategic planning - although “The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning” (1994, 2000) is largely concerned with the differences between strategy and strategic planning much of what he says can be applied equally to project management. I finished my last entry by taking a swipe at project management and even project managers. Some of the points made above (e.g. Stay tuned

• More on innovation
  
  books, software) we need to explore the idea. Tom De Marco has even written a book on just this subject – obviously called Slack (2002 - Slack ). For example, suppose you want to try XP in your software development organization: yes XP is an innovation; yes it is obvious (because enough books have been written about it) but, are people prepared to change the way they work? I’m taken with this idea that innovation is obvious. Well, if innovation is not-obvious we need to work at it, and I’m not sure what we do about it. Maybe those answers will come.

• Book review: Managing the Customer Experience
  
  So I hunted around the web a bit, read some Amazon reviews and eventually bought myself a copy of Managing the Customer Experience (Smith & Wheeler, 2002). This wasn’t so much buying a book by its cover as buying a book by review and publisher. Sadly this isn’t the book I wanted. The guys writing the book have a methodology to sell. Repeatedly uses a registered (R) term in the pages of a book comes across as really pretentious too. m haven’t go any real insights from this book. So after just two chapters I’m giving up on this book.

• Reflections on Blue-White-Red and Kanban
  
  At the time I “invented” it I hadn’t read much about Scrum books so maybe it is surprising how much like Scrum it looks. d have to go back and read the original XP book to be sure but it seems to me the main difference is XP’s emphasis on engineering practices (TDD, refactoring, etc.) In fact I wrote about “Thinking Beyond Lean” in the April 2002 issue of Overload. Writing that last blog entry on my introduction of Kanban also led me to reflect a bit on my Blue-White-Red Agile method. In the last few years I seen more and more Scrum in BWR. The other influence was Lean.
