| The Latest from DevelopMentor | MORE | | 10 Things to make you Agile adoption successfull And I fluffed it, despite having written a book on the subject I didn’t have a quick answer to hand. You can read the books, you can experiment, you can go on courses. Reading books works for some people but most books go unread, or the words go in one eye and out the other. One of the closing slides in my Agile Foundations course includes a quote from Ken Schwaber saying that only 30% of teams who attempt Scrum will be successful. What I find interesting about this quote is that it aligns with many other change management studies. There are real feedback loops here. Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, May 14, 2012 Story points 2 of 4 - Duarte arguments Claim 5 : The use of Story points is tolerant of imprecision in the estimates Duarte says : there's no data [in Cohn’s book] to justify the belief that Story Points do this better than merely counting the number of Stories Done. This blog entry follow directly from the previous Story Points - Journey’s Start. Key to Duarte argument, and something I didn’t originally appreciate from his initial Tweets is: he is not saying story points are rubbish, forget about them. What he is saying is: it is simpler and equally accurate to just count the stories as atomic items. And what does that mean? Allan Kelly's Blog - Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Story points considered harmful? 1 of 4 - Journey's start Just say, in my book commitment and story pointing are alternatives. A few months ago Vasco Duarte , with a little help from Joseph Pelrine started a discussion entitled “ Story Points considered harmful.” They, or at least Vasco, has given this as a conference keynote and has blogged about it. Warning: this is the first of 4 blog entires, its quite a long post. Plus I think there are two appendix blog entries to follow up.) also thought “But I don’t think they are right”. Specifically I know a team who use story points and claim to be able to schedule delivery “to the day.” Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, April 16, 2012 | -

Reviewing this book took some time as it weighs in at a hefty 798 pages, who ever said that Silverlight was a small products? That is a lot of material but then the book doesn't assume any prior knowledge of Silverlight at all. The book is divided into 25 chapters in 3 different sections. In these cases the book is a nice point to get started but no more than that and getting additional information on the Internet is pretty much a requirement. Pete has a pretty solid coverage of the material the book will help you understand what you need to know. Enjoy! The Problem Solver - Wednesday, September 29, 2010 - 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. So I think the earlier book may have been a better starting position. Now, 9 years after the second book I assume things have moved on again. Anyway, get back to the book.
