Postscript: The doom of Agile
A post script to my last blog entry (“SPA London, Tom Gilb and the doom of Agile”) generated some comments and a couple of private e-mails. think Mark is right when he commented : “they are 'fads', the hope is they will just become nameless best practices”. Many of the Agile practices were already best practices in places, but until they were named, publicized and, yes, hyped, few people knew of them. Its documenting best practices. Or one of the earliest attempts to document Scrum, The Scrum Pattern Language in 1998.

CMM & Agile
I’ve finally, about 6 months after everyone else, got around to reading the Software Engineering Institutes report on CMMI and Agile. Firstly CMM(I) was taken to be a methodology when it was a model. CMM(I) doesn’t tell you what to do, it allows you to evaluate your capabilities. How can one critique a method without defining what is mean by the term? Second, the report seems determined to identify an “Agile Institute” to mirror the Software Engineering Institute. To my mind the story only tells part of the truth. you might expect.

A true story about CMM
The company decided it wanted to improve its software development process and the answer to this problem was to adopt CMM - the Capability Maturity Model. The little group I worked in interfaced to financial trading institutions in the City of London. My project in particular had to respond quickly to changes at the institutions. The CMM roll-out was a akin to a neutron bomb in reverse. The people were left in place, but their processes and practices were replaced en-mass. You could measure yourself as 1 CMM, or 2 CMM, up to 5 CMM.

  • The final sustainable edge
    At the risk of boring my readers with a third entry on the subject of this book I think it deserves a wrap up - and a slight correction to some of my initial comments. The books central argument is that sustainable competitive advantage (to use a loaded term) is only achievable by companies that can adapt and change to take advantage of changing markets and environment. Problem is, it is incredibly difficult to do, far easier to find something that gives you and advantage now and try to guard that. So how to the two Johns propose we do this?

    Today is my birthday, I always like where possible to take the day of work and do something enjoyable. One of things is allowing to his finish reading my latest book. normally have two or three books go at once, usually a novel, something serious and perhaps another book which I wish I had time to read. 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.
