How do you make Lean Practical ?
Well in the interests of consistency I’ve decided to stick with one, since Agile Triangle tends to be used to refer to project management type stuff Agile Pyramid wins. One decision I made which might surprise some people was not to start from the Poppendieck’s books for the course. And since building a Lean organization really means building a Learning Organization my own Changing Software Development was the course book. I was Oslo recently teaching a course on Lean Software Development. When we were organizing this course on of our goals was: Make it practical.

Business Analysis Maturity Model
ve blogged before (many times, The Product Owner role (August 2009), Requirements: The next challenge for Agile (February 2009), Books for Product Managers (December 2008) among others) about the Product Manager role. However, Product Managers, or to give them their full title, Technical Product Managers, only really exist in genuine software product companies (including software as a service models). Both Product Managers and Business Analysts (BA) are concerned with the “what” of the software product, but how they decide this is different.

CMM & Agile
It seems to spend a lot of time talking about the authors of the Agile manifesto and founders of the Agile Project Leadership Network. Namely large projects, often military in nature, often with life at risk, and with a low-trust relationship between supplier and client. Conversely, Agile came from a different environment: mainly corporate IT groups, small projects (no more than a dozen or two people), with high-trust within the team. Nor am I aware of anyone in the Agile or CMMI camps saying “Don’t do that sort of project with our model.” you might expect.

On project management
I finished my last entry by taking a swipe at project management and even project managers. That was probably unfair but the fact is I am not a fan of project management It could be a career limiting move to speak against project management but I feel I should say something to explain my sideswipe, I should explain my thoughts. Of course I'm not naive enough heretical think projects “just happen" - there needs be some kind of project management but it is the form project management usually takes that I have a problem with.

Book review: Agile Project Management with SCRUM (and rant)
It is difficult to say anything bad about Agile Project Management with Scrum (Schwaber, 2004). It is a short book, lucid and easy to read. It sticks to its topic - managing projects using scrum. If this book has a failing it is: who will read it? can’t ever recall reading a book dedicated to Scrum. So I would suggest this book is best for someone wanting to an introduction to Scrum, and specifically wanting an idea of how Scrum works in practice. courses, books, alliances, etc. At the end of this book are the rules of Scrum.

Book review: IT Success!
share a publishing house (John Wiley & Sons) and and editor with this book so you might consider my opinions biased. However I had no idea this book was being written and produced at about the same time as mine. The first I knew about this books’ existence was a mention in the FT. With that assumption in place the author spends most of the book considering the business side of software development and project management. He ascribes this to the use of the construction metaphor to IT project management. But back to Gentle.

Requirements led projects (not really a book review)
I’ve been trying to read Requirements Led Projects by Suzzanne and James Robinson for a few months and I think I’m about to give up. m about 150 pages into a 300 page book but I’ve been stalled for a while now and my attempts to re-start have not got far. This is a shame because I do like the book, and I don’t want to give it a bad review but if I can’t make it to the end then it has something lacking. bought this book because for the last year or so I’ve been very concerned about requirements on development efforts. Perhaps I read the wrong book.

Book review: Thinking beyond lean (Cusumano & Nobeoka)
few weeks ago I picked up the book to check something and decided it was worth a re-read. The book is a study of how car companies develop their products, and specifically, how they reuse the designs to product additional products, e.g. did write about the book after my first reading and still agree with what I said then, there is good advice here we can apply to software development. The book is interesting for two reasons. Second it looks at the subject of reuse in a context of multi-project management. Reuse is difficult. accounting.
