What makes gives them killer power is that they speak to a secret belief held by many people (not just managers) that teams gold-plate development and create products with more than is needed. The same applies to product development: saying Yes to a feature is easy, saying No is hard, but unless you say No a lot more than Yes you won’t have a MVP. Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, October 8, 2012 This (new) developers life Today I discovered the podcast “ This Developer’s Life ”. It is more in a story telling venue, better production quality, not about API’s or even craftsmanship, but rather “common” themes to lives programmers. They are nice, but it stirred in me an issue that first surfaced last year at Tech Ed South Africa, when I attended a presentation that presented this clip from the Movie “The social network” about being “wired in” and then stated this is the best way to be productive. It’s a very differently crafted podcast. listened to Episode’s “ Play ” & “ Problems ”.

| The Latest from DevelopMentor | MORE | | Agile Clinic: Dear Allan, we have a little problem with Agile. The sender has graciously agreed to let me share the mail and my advice with you, all anonymously of course… The sender is new to the team, new to the company, they are developing a custom web app for a client, i.e. they are an ESP or consultancy. the Developers work in sprints, estimating tasks in JIRA as they go. Sprints last three weeks, including planning, development and testing. planning, development and testing” Good, but I immediately have two lines of enquiry to peruse. How are the developers at TDD?

Allan Kelly's Blog - Sunday, April 28, 2013 A Roundup of MongoDB Management Tools The data is a great asset when optimizing applications during development and potentially invaluable when diagnosing production issues. 'I’ve been working with MongoDB for a long time now. Back in the early days, there really were no management tools analogous to RDBMS tools (e.g. SQL Server Management Studio ). Since then, things have changed significantly. It’s time to look around and see what management / monitoring tooling is around these days for MongoDB. The news is good. There are many different options to choose depending on your platform and use-cases. link]. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Monday, April 22, 2013 Requirements and Specifications 'As I was saying in my last blog, I’m preparing for a talk at Skills Matter entitled: “Business Analyst, Product Manager, Product Owner, Spy!” finished the last blog entry noting that I was concerned the way I saw Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) going and I worried that was becoming a land-grab by developers on the “need side” of development. So now I turned to a standard textbook on requirements: Discovering Requirements: How to Specify Products and Services by Alexander and Beus-Dukis. and so I’ve been giving a lot of thought to requirements.

| The Best from DevelopMentor | MORE | - Survival Skills for Developers
Set aside the fact that you are a software developer and have no business tromping around out in the wilderness. Surviving as a software developer is more than stringing together some lines of code that read and write from a database. The following 8 items form a basic survival pack that can get you through most modern software development forests: 1. You must be able to write and execute unit tests for the language and platform you are developing on. am not an adherent to the Church of Test Driven Development. updating a development team web site. Ardent Dev - Wednesday, February 10, 2010 - When is software done?
Such a simple question… Earlier in my career I worked on a project that went into production with what I would consider a less than optimal set of internal admin tools. Software developers are accustomed to being asked “when will you be done?&# We’ve all seen developers declare a piece of work complete because it compiles or because it ran once with some sample data without crashing. Eventually professional developers learn the difference between code that runs and code that’s done. The code is in production. Development Ardent Dev - Sunday, February 13, 2011 - Managing requirements in Agile development
I make no apologies for blogging again about Product Management because it is important and because, on the whole. So Product Management is a long run play. That is one of two reasons why Agile methods tend to underplay requirements and “Product Ownership” - because you get a lot of benefits by ignoring them to start with. The other is that Agile methods largely originated with developers who generally tend to underplay the role of requirements. In the UK confusion between Project and Product management is rampant. This is really sad but also really dangerous. Allan Kelly's Blog - Sunday, November 2, 2008 - Product Management an open secret, a differenciator
At the Skills Matter Agile Lean Kanban exchange the other week someone - sorry I missed you name - told me about a report from the BBC on Product Management. It turns out the report is from a branch of the BBC I didn’t know about, “BBC Academy” and it entitled “The State of Product Management 2010.” Its well worth reading if you have an interest in Product Management or the UK software development scene. Although I’ve not blogged about it for a while Product Management is one of my passions. This is a role. Someone needs to do this. Documents are static.
