• Failures in Agile process?
  
  One downside is that the Product Owner role – typically filled by a Business Analyst, Product Manager, Customer or other proxy-customer – is given an immense work load. Typically it occurs when you bring in a lot of consultants to make your team and process Agile. Failure to get management buy in : Agile is often introduced at the bottom of the hierarchy, by developers at the code face. Eventually there comes a point when managers need to support it or stop it. This doesn’t happen and the development process is left in a random state.

• Is process improvement bad for innovation?
  
  Basically, as you get better at your process (i.e. Actually, according to this piece its not just ISO 9000 and 6 Sigma, it is broader, any process improvement initiatives. For someone like me, who is keen on both process improvement (specifically Lean processes) and innovation this poses a dilemma. Am I, by advocating process improvement and the adoption of Lean techniques actually hindering innovation? don’t advocate blanket adoption of a process. And finally, I don’t believe management can set out a process and mandate its adoption.

• Worker Process Accounts in IIS 7.5
  
  closer look reveals, that in IIS manager you now have five accounts to choose from when setting up an App Pool: System, Network Service, Local Service, Custom… and ApplicationPoolIdentity. With this new setting, a new primary SID is injected into the worker process – all Windows security checks are done against this new SID. So in the light of the recent problems with system account sharing ( here and here ), this is a good change and makes it even easier to isolate worker processes. Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 ship with IIS 7.5. That’s an interesting account.

• Product Management in the UK
  
  I went to a meeting of the UK Product Managers Forum last night. enjoyed the meeting, Ian Mapp of Respond spoke about the development of the product management function within the company. These conversations support my belief that Product Management is not a well established role in the UK software industry. When the product management doesn’t exist in a company there is a vacuum. Nature abhors a vacuum and the same is true when product management is missing. It might be a project manager, a developer, an architect or even a tester.

• Book review: Agile Project Management with SCRUM (and rant)
  
  It is difficult to say anything bad about Agile Project Management with Scrum (Schwaber, 2004). It sticks to its topic - managing projects using scrum. It is clear to me now (if there was ever any doubt) that Scrum is the management side that is missing from XP. My own Blue-White-Red process is in effect an example of Scrum and XP (both modified) being used together. recently met a Scrum Master who was having trouble with the process. suggested some changes, at this point she worried that she was deviating from the Scrum process too much. I’m not sure.

• Actors prototype in C#
  
  It simply grabs an element from the queue, processes it and sends messages to other actors, and then waits for another message. It returns “true&# to continue processing messages, and “false&# to end the actor. Attached is a rough outline of actors, or message passing concurrency, for C#. It is similar in spirit to Erlang. The basic idea is that each actor is a thread that blocks on a queue. This code uses threads but I’d rather use Tasks in.NET 4.0, which would likely scale much better. The signature of the handler is not good.

• Claims Authorization in Geneva Beta 2 - Introduction
  
  Use this sample authorization manager to inspect the data that gets passed in: class SimpleAuthorizationManager : ClaimsAuthorizationManager. {. While you could manually new up that class and directly call CheckAccess method – you can also use configuration to create the authorization manager. First you need to configure the authorization manager in config: < claimsAuthorizationManager. The configuration for the claims authorization manager has an interesting extensibility point. XmlNodeList nodes = objXmlElement as XmlNodeList ; Process(nodes); }. }.
