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. 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. XP’s project management side was always a bit weak but it isn’t 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.

  • 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. 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. 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

  • 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. It is a short book, lucid and easy to read. Rather than present Scrum in depth (which I think he has done elsewhere) Schwaber walks us through a set of small case studies and reflections

  • Notes on a Kanban software development experience
    The BWR team had been tasked with a project for which a large functional specification had been written. It almost looked Scrum like, that is, if you ignored the Project Manager, Development Manager, Team Leader, Architect and second Project Manager who joined the project later - and lets not forget me as Agile Coach. Although they had “projects” to do most of their work was sustaining work. 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
