The train metaphor of software development
I’m sitting on a train from York so it seems a good time to share my train-leaving-the-station metaphor with the world. Traditional software projects are like a train leaving the station. There is a big train sitting at Platform 9, we know its due to leave soon, but, well, you know what big long distance trains are like, it may well leave a little bit late. Still, to get a seat we need to be early so we are all rushing to the train. So we make sure we put everything we might need on the train. never actually got on the train.

What you need is a.
Us Business Analysts are trained to understand what you need and give those requirements to the programmers and testers.” Next you talk to a Project Manager : “yes, these programmer and testers are very good but have you noticed how long they take? Project Managers like to have a chat too and Business Analysts claim its their right. So you need an overall Development Manager to manage you teams. More people begat more people: Release Managers, Programme Managers and Team Leaders appear to organise people. Did I miss any?

FAQ: What is the hardest part getting Agile?
Generally I deliver an Agile training class in two days. 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. keep feeling I should elaborate rather than leaving the comment hanging. It was a natural question and one I realised I‘d heard several times before in different forms.

  • News, Conferences and a Project Management revelation
    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. More organizations look to PRINCE 2 to show you know about Project Management. Almost everyone of these people was an independent (contract) Project Manager in the IT sector.

  • Public training
    regularly get e-mails from people asking when I’m running a public training course. Truth is, public training adds lots of additional hoops to jump through to be successful, e.g. Consequently I usually confine myself to in-house training for organizations. ve now teamed up with the folks at Skills Matter to offer public training, specifically Agile Project Management. Speaking of speaking - as I was in my last post. getting a good venue. These sessions are running throughout 2009 in London and Aarhus, Denmark. More details on the Skills Matter web sit

  • 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. Many of the things the company called “projects” were really to small to be worthy of the name - but that’s another story. This worked well.

  • Intermission
    Broadly my activities fall under the heading: Agile Coach, Interim Manager, Consultant and Training. Here are some examples of how I have recently helped software development teams improve: • Agile & Scrum training, more details on the Software Strategy website. On the whole I don’t use this blog to push myself – maybe I should. As I finished that last blog entry it dawned on me: Why not? Maybe I could help your company?

  • Requirements led projects (not really a book review)
    I’ve been trying to read Requirements Led Projects by Suzzanne and James Robinson for a few months and I think I’m about to give up. This is partly due to the book subject (projects and requirements) and partly due to the industry. To name the elephant: Project Managers should not be writing or inventing project requirements. Project Managers manage projects, they should be concerned with the when and who-else questions on the project. The person who creates the requirements should be a Business Analyst or Product Manager.

  • Mr Scrum - Jeff Sutherland in London
    The event was organised by the Scrum Training Institute and hosted by BT. And like me he avoids the use of tools to manage the tasks. a methodology • a defined process • a set procedures One of the questions that often comes up about Agile and in especially Scrum is: “What is the future of the Project Manager?” On Thursday night I was lucky enough to meet Jeff Sutherland - one of the originators of Scrum - and hear him speak. If you missed this talk I’m please to say ACCU London will be hosting another talk by Jeff in May. So what did Jeff say?
