The train metaphor of software development
Traditional software projects are like a train leaving the station. The train - our project - is like one of those trains you see in pictures of the Indian rail network with people crowded on and hanging out of the doors. Particularly true if you have American management and British engineers because the Yanks view the Brits as being overly negative.) In the extreme, those who put things on the train, and really know what is needed for the destination (BAs, Product Managers, etc.) But for the rest of the world, and with full embellishments. So action is taken.

How do you make Lean Practical ?
I was Oslo recently teaching a course on Lean Software Development. 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 of my first decisions was to include Kanban software development. Kanban is a ready made, practical, Lean based approach to software development. However, the objective here needs to be change the way people think about product development; or at least show that other approaches are possible. But, there is a but.

Business Analysis Maturity Model
One of the important, but often overlooked, roles in any software development is the “needs” guy. 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). put it that way to be as general as possible.

  • 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.

  • News, Conferences and a Project Management revelation
    As I said at the start of the year I want to divert more of my writing into other projects. m going to be doing some work with one of the major players to developer a completely new IPTV platform. Both of these will produce some reflections in this blog.          I’m going to be writing more about Project Management in the near future. During the last two week I have taken Project Manager training, not just any training, PRINCE 2 certified training. More organizations look to PRINCE 2 to show you know about Project Management.

  • Notes on a Kanban software development experience
    I’ve mentioned the Kanban software development method in this blog before. For those who don’t know its “the new kid on the block” in Agile circles - although the originator (David Anderson) would be quick to point out it is designed to be a Lean development method. What I found was: it works, and I feel it is a better models of my own approach to software development than other methods. The BWR team had been tasked with a project for which a large functional specification had been written. Although they had “projects” to do most of their work was sustaining work.

  • 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. The other is that Agile methods largely originated with developers who generally tend to underplay the role of requirements. Architects claim to fill the void because they have the “bigger view” but architects are - almost by definition - uber-developers so have the same problem as developers. Project Managers often try and fill the void but their training and inclination is very different.

  • Agile software development: a prototype for all knowledge work?
    m convinced that software developers (programmers, testers, product managers, etc. Worse still, I think those that manage these people fail to recognise them as knowledge workers. So, we get discussions about “the software factory” and we hear managers describe how they can make their “factory” more efficient - as if the developers were working on a production line. Davenport’s book clearly regards software developers as knowledge workers. fail to recognise themselves as knowledge workers. who does it effect? what is the benefit? journalist?

  • 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.

  • Application development is getting better
    As regular readers may have noticed the state of the application development industry has driven me to despair recently ( 27 January ). According to this report of a report in the Software Development Times things are getting. Anyway, Software Development Times already offers the key findings: 35% of projects started in 2006 are considered successes – up from 16.2% Project failures are down to 19% in 2006 compared to over 31% in 1994. Well I’m sure the $500 report gives many, personally my money is on the move to Agile development methods.
