How do you make Lean Practical ?
Besides, Google for Agile Pyramid and I’m on the first page.) However, the objective here needs to be change the way people think about product development; or at least show that other approaches are possible. Yes I referenced them, yes I advised my students to read them but I used Morgan and Liker’s Toyota Product Development as a guide. I was Oslo recently teaching a course on Lean Software Development. When we were organizing this course on of our goals was: Make it practical. As I was preparing the course material this was at the front of my mind. But, there is a but.

Second Mover Advantage
How many search engines came before Google? The problem with being a first mover is (1) you have to create everything yourself and (2) you have to convince customers to take a chance on your crazy new product. This article (and this one) pokes a hole in the idea that there’s a sustainable first-mover advantage for businesses. That is, being the first search engine or social networking service did not give those innovators any advantage in the market; in fact, most of those first generation companies are gone (Excite & SixDegrees). Is the iPhone the first ever smartphone?

'Wired for Innovation' and the Trouble with business value
In fact, if you have read anything by Brynjolfsson before there is a good chance it was his work on the “productivity paradox.” Firstly the book resolves the “productivity gap”. This was the observation in the late 1980’s that despite all the investment in productivity enhancing IT there was no resulting increase in productivity in the production and GDP statistics. Take for example a Google search. How much time and effort would you need if you had no Google? But, while Google’s revenue is countered by the Government those searches aren’t.

Why Write Unit Tests?
Focusing on this aspect of testing brings about Acceptance Testing and products like Selenium & Fitness. If you've ever done a google code jam , this is exactly what the bug reports look like by the way.) Why Write Unit Tests? I've made a small video to go with this post Approval Tests have allowed us to focus on the parts of testing at a much higher level of abstraction. Things that had been too hard to see have become visible. The benefits of Automated Tests are one of the areas that we can now more clearly appreciate. First, there is Specifications. Fast Feedback.

How do you do innovation?
Of course there is one obvious answer: 20% personal projects, its the 3M example – and now Google. Some of these projects eventually make it to full products, like Post-it pads and Google News. Regular readers of this Blog will know I don’t have much time for “big brains”: I don’t believe that the CEO, CTO and a few managers can sit in the boardroom for six hours and come out with a new product. It is easy to see how you could get a new idea out of it – whether that is a product or process innovation. Meanwhile, the product managers have the opposite problem.

Significant Advances in Unit Testing Windows Workflow
So you might want to sell 5 shares of Google and buy 10 shares of Microsoft and pocket the difference. This hack might be bad for production systems, but it *rocks* for unit testing.It This post describes a unit testing library for testing Windows Workflow Foundations. It is not a framework like HarnessIt , NUnit , or MsTest. Rather it's a library that can be used in conjunction with any of these testing frameworks. Download the library with sample test project here: Kennedy.WorkflowTesting.zip (216 KB). You can also just jump to the code. If you like this post, be sure to. Enjoy!

Software people got there first: Wiki’s, blogs
It isn’t all about AJAX and Google maps, a lot of the other technologies that are broadly seen to be in Web 2.0 In fact, when it comes to all these knowledge management tools software developers control the means of production - to use a phrase of Marx. Web 2.0 is having some fallout in the business world. are of more general use. Perhaps the one with the most coverage is Blogs but Wikis, RSS, Search and tagging can all be used outside of consumer web-sites. And I can vouch for this first hand. Are blogs an effective knowledge management tool? Do they spread ideas?
