| The Latest from Allan Kelly's Blog | MORE | | What is the right size for a User Story? If one story is going to take more than half the Sprint you need one or more stories to use the rest of it up. A question that comes up again and again from teams is “What is the right size for a User Story?” - a day? three weeks? 1 point? points? 10 points? Short answer: there isn’t a universal right size for a User Story, it depends on your team, their skills and their level of domain knowledge. Long answer: for some teams a User Story is Big, several days or weeks work. On other teams they are small - maybe a days work. Both are possible, both are the right answer. Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, December 10, 2012 Unspoken Cultural differences in Agile & Scrum then we should see it spread out to the rest of the world. For a while now I’ve been convinced that a lot of “Agile” is about cultural differences. In particular I believe the canonical version of Scrum, which I often refer to as Hard Core Scrum or Scrum™ is rooted in 1990’s American software management culture. Unfortunately the role of culture behind many Agile techniques and methods isn’t really stated. This make it even more important to work out what Agile means to you and which tools work in your environment and culture. Take stand-up meetings for example. hated it. Allan Kelly's Blog - Wednesday, October 31, 2012 Dialogue Sheets feedback and stories The sheet and rules (when followed) prevent the Scrum Master from falling into a "team leaderish" role when the rest of the team gets lazy and wont't bother to involve in the process - they all have to take their part of a common responsibility for getting through the questions and to the end of the "game".and Retrospective Dialogue Sheets continue to be a popular download, and I’m off to Sweden in a couple of weeks to present the sheets at Oredev. few months ago Gail from Siemens Healthcare e-mailed me to tell me how she had used the sheets to conduct a distributed retrospective. Allan Kelly's Blog - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 | | The Best from Allan Kelly's Blog | MORE | | More facts and figures from Capers Jones Over 50% of large (more than 10,000 function points) projects are cancelled and the rest are almost always late and over budget. I continue my reading of Capers Jones Applied Software Measurement as discussed a few entires ago - Software Facts and I’d like to report some more of Jones findings. These numbers are very insightful but, and its a but Jones acknowledges, the data is very shaky. As Jones says “software measurement resembles an archeological dig. One shifts and examines large heaps of rubble, and from time to time finds a significant artifact.” This is as good as it gets. Allan Kelly's Blog - Wednesday, February 2, 2011 Heresy: My warped, crazy, wrong version of Agile I increasingly feel that the way I interpret Agile, the practices and the processes, if different to the rest of the world. Perhaps this is just self doubt, perhaps because I started doing Agile-like-things before reading about XP or Scrum, perhaps this is because my version has always been more informed by Lean, perhaps this is because I have never achieved Certified Scrum anything status, perhaps because I’ve never worked for ThoughtWorks, perhaps because I hold and MBA (and thus have an over inflated opinion of myself) or perhaps I’m just wrong. Allan Kelly's Blog - Thursday, February 9, 2012 Implications of the Power Law Therefore it makes sense to refactor those parts of the system that do change and leave the rest. I’m trying to capture all the thoughts triggered by the SPA conference before the ACCU conference in a couple of weeks time. One of the topics that resurfaced at SPA was the Power Law. Or rather, the fact that software source code and program execution follows a Power Law distribution. If you’ve not come across this before it is worth knowing. Most (educated) people are familiar with the standard distribution , or bell curve. As a result you get the long tail that seems to get so publicity. Allan Kelly's Blog - Sunday, March 23, 2008 | - Two of the technical presentations at ACCU - and the A, B, and C of speakers
He was in a difficult slot - first session of the first day but for me he set the quality bar for the rest of the conference. The ACCU is a technical organization - people join because it has a technical focus. But actually the secret of the ACCU is that it is really about developing people. We help those technical people develop their technical skills - but on the quiet we help them develop their less technical skills, we challenge them to think about less technical issues. One of the ways we help people develop themselves is by giving them opportunities. And then we have the ‘C’ list. Allan Kelly's Blog - Tuesday, April 25, 2006 - Product Management an open secret, a differenciator
point to Silicon Valley because certainly in Europe, and I suspect in much of the rest of the USA, this role isn’t so widely recognised. At the Skills Matter Agile Lean Kanban exchange the other week someone - sorry I missed you name - told me about a report from the BBC on Product Management. It turns out the report is from a branch of the BBC I didn’t know about, “BBC Academy” and it entitled “The State of Product Management 2010.” Its well worth reading if you have an interest in Product Management or the UK software development scene. This is a role. Someone needs to do this. Allan Kelly's Blog - Tuesday, December 14, 2010 - What is the right size for a User Story?

Allan Kelly's Blog - Tuesday, October 23, 2012 - The Meter: Tom Giib's greatest invention
Now, as far as I can tell Tom is a master of this, the rest of us. If you’ve ever found the time to read Tom Gilb’s work - and I’m thinking specifically of Competitive Engineering here - you’ll know that his work is packed full of good ideas. So many god ideas in fact that it can be hard to read his book - something I think he admits himself in the opening pages of Competitive Engineering. One of his ideas is that of a Meter. This alway confuses me a little, still now. You: A Metre you say? Me: No, the idea of measuring things, scrum that, say a Ruler You: A ruler? Allan Kelly's Blog - Tuesday, January 24, 2012 - The train metaphor of software development
But for the rest of the world, and with full embellishments. 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. In truth, if you’ve worked with me in the last few years, or heard me speak at a conference I may already have shared it with you. 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. Think of our requirements document.) Allan Kelly's Blog - Wednesday, July 28, 2010 %>

| The Latest from DevelopMentor | MORE | | Unit testing code depending on the ASP.NET #WebApi HttpClient But with a REST service there is both a client and a service component. In this case the client application contains the following class to load books from the REST WebAPI controller: 1: public class BooksClient. The GetBooks() function gets all books from the REST service. Not a whole lot but the REST convention is to return both an HTTP 201 Created status as well as the location of the new resource in an HTTP header.

| The Best from DevelopMentor | MORE | - Secure WCF REST Services with a Custom UserNamePasswordValidator
< serviceBehaviors > < behavior > < serviceCredentials > < userNameAuthentication userNamePasswordValidationMode = " Custom " customUserNamePasswordValidatorType = " Security.PasswordValidator, Security " /> </ serviceCredentials > </ behavior > </ serviceBehaviors > This is all fine and dandy, but it assumes that clients will only be talking Soap – what about REST-ful clients who don’t know a thing about Soap?

When we are building REST service we embrace HTTP and as a result we also embrace all the HTTP status codes, not just 200 and 500. www.dotnetevents.nl.NET WCF REST dotnetmagWhen we build services, or write any code for that matter, error can occur and we have to cater for those. With SOAP service we gibe a calling application information about the error by returning a SOAP fault. This SOAP fault is just another piece of XML informing the calling application about whatever was wrong. But there are far more status codes we can use. For example a database connection failed. else. {. The Problem Solver - Wednesday, July 20, 2011 - Building rich HTML 5 clients using REST services

Enjoy! www.TheProblemSolver.nl The Problem Solver - Thursday, November 3, 2011 - On building Restful services
lot of people will be familiar with writing SOAP style services but not everyone is quite as familiar with the REST approach so I guess that takes a bit of explanation. This subject is a bit long for a single blog post so I am going to do a number explaining what REST is, the difference with SOAP and how to build these Restful services using the WCF Web API. Of course the WCF Web API is still in a preview state so some of the technical things are subject to change over time but the general principal of building Restful services isn’t going to change a lot.
