Interesting…I've been looking into Scrum these last days…so different than what we do at my company. Only thing ins I'm taking more commercial tasks now, so no opportunity to propose to try it. Although it looks as it could be a very good option.

I consider that one of the biggest problems when developing is giving people long tasks and not discussing the issues that arise every other day, if even for 10 minutes, with the responsible. It's a direct way to failure. Scrum and “sprinting” address this problem in a way that looks promising.

PS: Yep, post's a bit long :) But definitely worth the read.

Thanks Jon, I’ll pick it up next time I’m in the city.

And yeah, I realise I’m being a bit verbose, but not really sure what to do about that. I’ve been treating the blog as more of an information dump for complete ideas, compared to the Facebook and Twitter jazz, where you have to be more sparse .. I should reconsider if I ever plan on having actual readers eh :)

good post d

btw I got your gsa agenda, I found it in a manila envelope in your graduate cis mailbox bin

also your posts, while informative, are really long… as one fellow blogger to another, the shorter the better if you want people to actually read the stuff you want them to read
