A few weeks ago I was presenting at the BCS SIGIST conference - another outing for my popular Objective Agility presentation. Someone in the audience asked: “Where is the evidence that Agile works?” My response was in two parts. First although it sounds like a reasonable question I’ve come to believe that this is a question that is asked by those who don’t believe in Agile, those who want to stall thing. It is rarely a question aimed at a rational decision. Second I said: lets turn the question around, Where is the evidence for Waterfall? Scrum?

| The Best from DevelopMentor | MORE | - SynchronizationContext assists layering
Having just got back from two weeks travelling I was confronted with the need that my oldest daughter needs to learn her times tables for a tester after half term. Being away a lot and the children having loads of after school clubs etc means we often find it hard to find the right moment to practice. So I decided to write an app to help test them on it…Ok so I’m sure there are tons of them out there…but you can’t beat a home grown solution ;-) Seriously there is a couple of areas I am focusing on at the moment, Ramping up for DM’s.NET architecture course. .NET Mutterings - Saturday, October 21, 2006 - Using Excel for VSTS Data Driven Testing
A colleague of mine, Kev Jones , has posted some information on using a detached SQL Server database for driving VSTS unit tests which works great if you need a full blown SQL implementation. However, if all you want is a simple data feed, you can also use an Excel file, and as it turns out, it's pretty easy to do. Let's start by stealing Kev's sample, hopefully he won't mind -- say I have a starship class with a FirePhotonTorpedo method: public class Enterprise. {. private int torpedosLeft = 10; public int FirePhotonTorpedo( int count). {. if (torpedosLeft < count). torpedoCount. expected. - Two of the technical presentations at ACCU - and the A, B, and C of speakers
The ACCU is a technical organization - people join because it has a technical focus. But actually the secret of the ACCU is that it is really about developing people. We help those technical people develop their technical skills - but on the quiet we help them develop their less technical skills, we challenge them to think about less technical issues. So, while you see Scott Meyers , Herb Sutter , Guido Van Rossum and Michael Feathers headlining the conference you also find people like Helen Sharp challenging them to think about development as a social activity. And then we have the ‘C’ list. Allan Kelly's Blog - Tuesday, April 25, 2006 - Agile: Where's the evidence?

Allan Kelly's Blog - Friday, March 30, 2012 - Cranfield study Supporting the alignment trap
only heard about this report a few months ago and its is now four years old but I see little reason to suspect things have changed since 2006. I’ve blogged before about “The Alignment Trap” (Originally in December 2007 and after my piece in The Agile Journal in February 2009 ). This is the counter-intuitive evidence that sometimes doing things right is more beneficial than doing the right think. often discuss this in my presentations and there are two standard reactions: for some this research rings true while others question it. Well, there just might be. Allan Kelly's Blog - Thursday, October 21, 2010 - Conway's Law v. Software Architecture
