CMM & Agile
The other is the ill-defined product of an ill-defined community which owes as much to the punk ideal as anything else. That is, the report does not say “Smith, one the authors of this report showed the CMMI is effective (Smith 2003).” I’ve finally, about 6 months after everyone else, got around to reading the Software Engineering Institutes report on CMMI and Agile. Entitled “ CMMI or Agile: Why Not Embrace Both! the report argues that CMMI and Agile are not only compatible but complement one another. rather than the question mark (“?”) you might expect.

Offshoring becoming more expensive
In short, manufacturing high-tech products in China isn’t clearly cheaper any more. An interesting analysis in McKinsey quarterly about the increasing costs of off-shore manufacturing - Time to rethink offshoring. And to proove the point, yesterday’s FT reports: “The latest cheap manufacturing site for European companies is not in Asia or eastern Europe but the US”. Its a little more complicated than that but have a read for yourself.) So what of the software industry? Lets apply this thinking, and extend it to India and elsewhere. However I think the benefits are exaggerated.

  • Knowledge based product development
    I've commented here before that I have recently become a Product Manager - when I say recently it was almost six months ago now. Of course I want to be a good product manager so I've been looking around material to tell me how to be a good product manager, much to my surprise I find that there are very few books written on the subject of product management. Indeed depending on your industry the role of Product Manager differs. In my search for product management books I came across " Product Development For The Lean Enterprise " by Michael N.

  • Top 5 Favorite CodePlex Projects
    Script# enables more productive Ajax application development by allowing you to compile your C# source code into JavaScript. Supports VS 2003, 2005, and 2008. I've been looking around CodePlex lately and there's some really cool stuff there. For example, the source code to ASP.NET MVC. That got me thinking, what else is out there? Here are my (current) top 5 favorite CodePlex projects. ASP.NET MVC. link].

  • Book review: The Innovators Dilmma
    I’m just coming to the end of The Innovator’s Solution (Christensen and Raynor, 2003) - OK, I admit it, I can’t be bothered to read the last couple of chapters. Enter the market at the low end, offer a cheaper product than the current incumbents. Rather than compete head on target people who don’t buy the current products (non-competition) with a cheaper, less functional product. Sell to people who don’t buy the current product or are over served by it. Over time the niche is expanded by moving the product up market. All good stuff.

  • The Open Source Software Myth
    But as a project management or product development technique I can’t say I recommend it. First there is no single OSS development model: Apache has a stack of IBM cash, GNU C++ is largely volunteers with chip makers (and others) contributing expertise and resources to help their own products, Mozilla was seeded by Netscape and has done a good job of marketing itself, etc. Although from 2003 I think the analysis and arguments probably still stand. Once in a while I get asked my opinion on Open Source Software projects. There are two reasons I give for this.

  • Feeling sorry for EDS - business that don't know what they want
    Unfortunately the project collapsed in 2003, BSkyB completed the project without EDS at a cost of £265m and are now suing them for £709m. Making those decisions requires people in the role (business analysts or product managers), it requires IT people who understand business goals, it requires business people who understand how IT is created and how to recognise the benefits, and it requires a process to keep talking and making decisions. It is not often I feel sorry for EDS. Early in my career I had contact with EDS and I was not impressed. But this time maybe I do.
