Ed Yourdon on Agile
Last century I read a lot of his stuff and came to respect him as a man who knows what he’s talking about when it comes to IT and software development. If you haven’t heard of him, or don’t believe me just look at the list of books he’s written.) Ed Yourdon seems to have fallen off my radar so far this century. I recently discovered that he has a blog , and from there that he has recently been to the Agile 2010 conference. In fact it appears that the whole Agile thing has, to a large part, passed him by.

Off topic moan - Price Promise that isn't
Although I try to keep this blog within its very loose boundary of software and business there are times when you want to say something that doesn’t fit. It all began when I set out to book my flights to Agile Eastern Europe in October. Turns out British Airways had a direct flight, was fairly competitive and since they are my usual airline I decided to book with them. It wasn’t indeed it was more expensive, but since I was now logged into the BA system and all my details were on file I decided to finish the booking there. It also shows how I was fooled. Wrong.

How to improve a team's velocity?
But back to software. So, invest in developer training, buy them books, send them on courses, bring in coaches, set up book study groups and other exchanges were developers can learn to do things better. By way of wrapping up my velocity mini-series ( Two ways to fill and iteration , Filling an iteration too well , and Velocity Targeting and Velocity Inflation ) I’m going to end with some advice on how to improve a team’s velocity. Bad news first: there are no silver bullets, there are no easy answers, there is no quick way of doing this. how might you improve you velocity?

Books for Agile and Object Oriented Design
Here is a list of the very best books I have found that helps bridge the divide between OOD and Agile for those of you who are currently making that transition. Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices. Tags: Books You often hear it stated by very bright people that they thought they understood object oriented design until they began practicing Test Driven Development (TDD). definitely include myself in that group (the misunderstanding OOD part anyway!). They are highly recommended. by Robert C. Martin. by Martin Fowler. by Michael Feathers. Kennedy.

Book review: Software Ecosystems
Software Ecosystem by Messerschmitt and Szyperski (2003) is a book that was recommended to me about a year ago, a book I bought about 9 months ago, and one I started reading about four months ago. The book is interesting, the book is useful, the book does offer some insights into the software industry, the business of software and how software effects our business. Yes I have learned things from this book. That I feel this is probably as much of a comment on me than it is on the book.

10 things to know about Kanban software development
1) Kanban software development originated by David Anderson. 6) There are currently no books on Kanban software development. There is one that comes close, Corey Ladas ScrumBan - Essays on Kanban Systems for Lean Software Development. ve read this book and I’m not rushing to recommend it. 7) Kanban derives more directly from Lean Thinking and Lean software development then many of the previous Agile techniques. Actually, I just discovered that at the moment this blog appears on the first page in Google if you search for “Kanban software development.”

Make strategy like you make software?
There is an interesting piece in the latest issue of the MIT Sloan Review entitled: Should you build strategy like you build software? After all, we are regularly told that 70% of IT projects fail, and a few months ago the same journal ran a piece damning software development and specifically ERP systems: The Trouble with Enterprise Software So why would anyone want to copy what IT does? McFarland is arguing is: many of the practices and techniques used in Agile software development can be applied to strategy formation and execution. So where does this leave us?

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.

Books for Product Managers
Turns out books about Product Management are a little likes buses: None then 3 turn up at once! ve been looking for a good book on Product Management for a while so I was interested to see Tuned In by Craig Stull, Phil Myers and David Meerman Scott published. Turns out Luke has a book in the product management space too, its been out for a couple of years but somehow I’ve missed it. Again I’ve not had the chance to read it yet but I intend to, it is Beyond Software Architecture. This is small book and as such doesn’t cover the role of the Product Manager in full.
