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. Most of the people I expected to have on the course were software engineers and architects looking to improve their processes and practices, not CEOs looking to reinvent their companies. One of my first decisions was to include Kanban software development. But, there is a but. Lean sits between the two.

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). However, he BA role is much misunderstood.

  • 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. 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 kind of project management but it is the form project management usually takes that I have a problem with.

  • 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. Every line of software code embodies knowledge. who does it effect? journalist?

  • Christmas reading: Classic essays on software development
    There are many, many books about software development. The ones about project management take up a bit less space but they are still plentiful, and the ones about people in the process take up even less space but are longer lasting. Arguments made by Conway explain much of what actually happens in software development. Conway suggests that organization that create systems (not specifically software systems) will create copies of their organizations. Rational Development Process and How to Fake It by Dave Parnas. Java, C++, Apache,NET, etc.

  • The start of the end for Agile software development?
    On the one hand Agile software development has won the war. few agile practises like test first development and stand-up meetings are becoming much more common than the others. Business does not see agile IT the same way software developers do. few people the software community picked up the term, adopted it and grew the idea. Making IT agile has become the mantra of management but they are a long way from YAGNI and pair programming. Perhaps more worryingly there may be a resurgence in high ceremony development methods in the offing.

  • What is it I do again? (apart from blogging)
    On the one hand its easy: I manage software development, on the other hand its hard. Its hard because I don’t fall into any of the classic categories we find in software development. Some of what I do is • I architect, but I don’t code or write UML; I perform architecture by organising teams and projects. There is a whole blog entry in that sometime.) • I project manage, but I’m not really a project manager because I believe that delivering a project involves things beyond typical project management.
