Debunking some myths about Agile
Last week a comment arrived on my Failures in Agile process entry from April 2007. For my full argument: Buy the book, Changing Software Development . • “The main bottleneck I came across is the failure to define good system requirements. But blame is not a very useful concept. • “Downsides of agile:” To the myths... • “agile may only be used on small projects” • “maximum 5 developers on project“ False: this myth started because the early writers on Agile hadn’t applied it to I think I get quite a few comments on this blog and I publish most of them. Almost all of the

Spoke at ACCU London last night
And, in case I didn’t mention it, I have a book to plug ! :) The subject of my talk was ‘ Agile development - where to begin ’. I’ve now uploaded the 2007 version of this presentation (the previous link) but, and this is a big but , the presentation I gave last night was very different... As it happened 7 City were fully booked last night so couldn’t find a room for us. I spoke at ACCU London last night. I little unusual because I’m usually the one organising the talks not giving them.

New pieces on the website
Still, just time to say I’ve posted some new pieces on my website. • Session notes from Creating Awareness / Exposing Problems is the result of my ACCU 2007 conference session. These notes were published in ACCU Overload last month and are now on the website. • My patterns from VikingPLoP 2007 (More) Patterns for Software Companies were uploaded just before Christmas but never announced here. I’ve been holding out, waiting until I have the time to write a really great start-the-year blog entry. Well I’ve not had the time and I’m about to go on holiday for a week.

Marshalling native function pointers
Now that the book is written and all urgent tasks I had to defer due to the book are
In my book I focus on wrapping class libraries that use virtual functions for callbacks
done, I find some time to blog about technical topics.
Recently, a customer asked me how to marshal function pointers across managed / unmanaged

Book review: Minimalism Beyond the "Nurnberg Funnel" and thoughts on
documentation
Still I think I may have read the wrong book, a better starting place for this subject would of been the authors first book on the subject The Nurnberg Funnel . Both books discuss the same concept, namely minimalism in technical documentation. However the newer book (Beyond) is not so much an introduction to the subject but a review of how the ideas had developed in 8 years. I can’t remember where I came across Minimalism Beyond the Nurnberg Funnel but I’m glad I did. So I think the earlier book may have been a better starting position.

Back from the 2007 ACCU conference
I got back yesterday from the 2007 ACCU Conference . There are a few people who think TDD is not a good practice then there are the vast majority of people who have tried it think it is a good practise that improve quality. Mary Poppendieck presented some figures from Mike Cohen’s book Agile Estimating and Planning . Once again this was a great conference. Lots of good stuff on Agile and Lean (Mary and Tom Poppendieck delivered a keynote), software management, programming in general, Java, C# and C++. I mainly kept myself to the management and agile sessions.

Book review: The Box
Fortunately its also given me time to finish off another book - The Box by Marc Levinson Yes this book was short-listed for the FT book of the year by that wasn't why I read it. I would have read this book anyway because... I'd recommend this book for three reasons: its a good story, its an easy read and third its educational. A couple of days off work with a stinking cold has given me a lot of time lying on the sofa feeling sorry for myself. well, I've got a thing about ships and even containers.

Book review: Siemens Best Practises
For once a review of a book I'm not recommending. In fact I found Knowledge Management Case Book: Siemens Best Practises quite disappointing. I bought this book for two reasons. So I thought a book of case studies would shed some light on it. Not what I hoped for at all. First knowledge management (KM for short) is so often a soft and vague kind of subject.

Book Review: The Elegant Solution
I think I’m going to have to give up reading serious books to do with software development, business and change until my own book is finished. Problem is when I read a book that comes anywhere close to my subject things get confusing. Although May tries to be practical the book is still quite conceptual. I have just finished reading the The Elegant Solution by Matthew E. May.
