The return of XP?
XP can be viewed from two perspectives: project or engineering practices. Scrum gained a lot of popularity during 2008 and 2009 but too many of those teams adopted the project management bit without the engineering practices. This means the Product Owner, Customer, Business Analysts and/or Product Manager roles (call it what you will) needs to have more attention. An interesting prediction from Kevin Rutherford for 2010: “I predict that 2010 will be the year that eXtreme Programming returns to centre stage.” I tend to agree with Kevin, while his logic is sound I would offer an alternative rationale for the return of XP.

FAQ: What is the hardest part getting Agile?
For example: Adopting Agile project management means you need to change the way you plan at the moment. Continuing your PRINCE2 based project management while running an Agile project management process in tandem is self defeating. Agile development work can, and should, start before requirements are fully defined. I made a passing comment in the last blog entry to “the hardest bit” of Agile . I keep feeling I should elaborate rather than leaving the comment hanging.

SPA London, Tom Gilb and the doom of Agile
What is Seriously Wrong with Agile practices and interpretations - why AGILE, AS CURRENTLY PRACTICED, is PROJECT-failure-prone as a culture." I think Tom is both right and wrong. He is right that projects need more of a value driven approach, he is right that Agile is a fad but he is wrong to say XP is dead or Agile is doomed. Look at what XP has left us with: Test Driven Development, Continuous I’m planning on going to SPA London session next week , Tom Gilb is giving a talk entitled “Does real Software Practice Advancement need yet another 'Manifesto'? ” He’s being quite provocative, look at this from the synopsis: "AGILE HAS DOOMED ITSELF - TO BECOME YET ANOTHER FAD: XP IS ALREADY DEAD.

  • 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. Last year I did some consulting with a large online travel agency. I was involved with helping five teams “get Agile.”

  • 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 I am not alone in my views, but they are somewhat heretical. In their book “Lean Software Development” Mary and

  • News, Conferences and a Project Management revelation
    However, I haven’t had much time for blogging. As I said at the start of the year I want to divert more of my writing into other projects. I’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. This blog has been rather quiet for the last couple of weeks, and most likely it will be quiet for the next couple of weeks. This hasn’t been for a lack of interesting things to

  • 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. (The As I said in my previous entry, Agile methods have a very simplistic view of determining what needs doing. In the short run the Alignment Trap tells us that it is better to focus on doing things right, but in the long run Lean thinking tells us we have to do the right thing - remember

  • Agile software development: a prototype for all knowledge work?
    I’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. Last week I reviewed Thinking for a Living , I’d like to pick up one or two points raised in this book and discuss them a little further. These are not points exclusive to Davenports work

  • The Scrum Wall (another Agile failure mode)
    And it is probably why Jeff Sutherland endorses Test Driven Development and other technical practices from XP . This is what happens when you adopt Scrum without technical practices such as Test Driven Development, continuous integration and refectoring. The code quality is poor and developers are expected to continue to make progress. I recently came across the expression “The Scrum Wall”, as in the expression “Hitting the Scrum Wall”. Its akin to “the pain barrier”, or “feel the burn” in aerobics workouts of old.

  • Why try new technologies?
    about why a group of developers decided to use ASP.NET MVC. There is not a lot of additional info: but assuming that the project was not a multi-million multi-million dollar project and there was some room for a little risk. I believe in risk driven project management. I just read this post by Paul Gielens ( [link] ) about The answer to the question “what made you guys decide to use MVC for this applications” was
