SharePoint for Developers (WSSv3/MOSS2007)
Acquire skills you need to be productive today. Day 5 Out-of-the-Box Workflow Capabilities Many companies built custom code to handle common business workflow scenarios around the many document and form libraries introduced in the last version of Windows SharePoint Services.

NET Architecture and Design Principles: Building Distributed Applications
Because web services are based on open standards, companies can expose systems, either internally or externally, and not have to worry so much about the communication layer. Hosting and Deployment Once a component of a distributed system is built, we must push it out into a production environment or to the customer. Learn to build systems that are scalable, reliable and secure. Discussions range from object-oriented programming to enterprise patterns, networking to Web Services, caching to distributed databases, and client/database applications to very large-scale web sites.

The No Business Case Myth
Some companies, for better or worse, work without them; those companies aiming at innovation may allow work to proceed to a more advanced stage before asking for some rationale; and products which are in a steady state may just tick over without too much attention to a business case. If you are not sure why your company is doing some piece of work then maybe the company needs to be clearer about the reasoning. Once in a while I run across individuals, or even teams, who still think Agile is about just getting on and doing it.

BehaveN
It’s been pretty positively received by our product owners, QA, and most of the developers who’ve been exposed to it. It’s being used by a few outside my company, but I haven’t made any effort on “advertising&# it. I’ve been using a Cucumber -inspired BDD framework for.NET called BehaveN at work for the past year. Today, I just released the next major version. There’s a little documentation on the wiki, including a tutorial , but there’s a lot left that I haven’t documented yet.

Filling an iteration too well
Sustainable yes, but not as productive as they could be. The project managers in this company wanted predictability. But this company was trying to “go faster”. I want to stick with the theme of “how do I fill an iteration?” for a couple more entries. There are a lot of little nuances here, and what works for one team at one time might not be the best thing for another team, or even the same team at a different time. appreciated Ed’s comments on my last entry , I think they go to show how small variations work well for individual teams.

  • More patterns for software companies
    Over time I started to think specifically about technical companies and products and now I’ve decided to concentrate on software companies. This is a pragmatic decision, although many of these patterns are more applicable I know about software companies so I can write with knowledge. I have posted another set of business strategy patterns on my website. These patterns were reviewed at EuroPLoP 2007. It took me a while to incorporate all the comments and then polish them, hence the delay in publishing. have now amassed quite a body patterns describing business.

  • Product Management conference
    On Tuesday I attended a mini-conference about Product Management. In fact, this conference billed itself as “The UK’s first conference on Product Management” which might actually be true. ve written before that I believe Product Management is a much misunderstood role in the UK, and that I think it is an appreciation of this role that makes Silicon Valley companies so much more successful than their UK peers. However, I still came away with a feeling that only a few companies “get it.” need to write a full entry on Business Analysts and Product Managers.

  • Knowledge based product development
    I've commented here before that I have recently become a Product Manager - when I say recently it was almost six months ago now. 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. Indeed depending on your industry the role of Product Manager differs. In my search for product management books I came across " Product Development For The Lean Enterprise " by Michael N.

  • Who owns the product?
    I’ve mentioned a few times that I’ve recently moved from software development to product management. As a developer the answer was clear: me – not the product manager. As a product manager the answer is also clear: me – not the software developers. So often I’ve worked at companies where the product manager role was under developed or non-existent – that is a blog entry in its own right. Tried to direct the product, I tried to create a “roadmap”, to care about the product, make it improve. m not coding it but I feel I own the product.

  • Write a book or start a company? - Lessons for Product Managers and notes on VoIP, eBay and Skype
    And my product at work is back to normal, actually that happened about a month ago but I don’t think I mentioned it here. She asked me the very product manager-like question “Why would someone buy this book?” The other idea that comes up again and again is that of starting a company. Again the question comes “Why would someone buy something from you company?” which is another way of saying “What would your company do?” As a Product Manager I know the first starting point has to be “What problem will you solve?” Some kind of normality has returned.

  • So many bad companies in the world
    It never ceases to amaze me how many bad companies there are in the world. Companies that provide bad customer service, poor products, treat their employees badly, break all the rules in management books and yet continue to survive and trade, and even make profits. Such companies grow to a certain size, usually not very big, a few hundred people at most, and then stagger on for years. Sometime I think starting a company is as easy as falling off a log, it is growing of a company that takes skill. Anyway, back to good companies. Sorry.

  • Companies who understand IT get the benefits
    How could any reasonable company not know it was funding overlapping or even competing projects? Yet this happens, its quite possible large companies don't know every project that is happening, in a geographically dispersed company things get more difficult still. Add in the way many companies distribute IT projects to business units and its quite clear that the investment group in Australia might be doing a project that looks a lot like the new business group in Sweden. So for these companies doing IT project makes a lot of sense. Want to see an improved ROI?
