A couple of weeks ago (!), Tobias Fors and Magnus Ljadas interviewed me via skype. I have finally finished the editing of the podcast and it’s posted here. It’s also in iTunes, in the Pragmatic Manager podcast feed. Yes, I need a new microphone. It’s on my list, but not for this week
I had coffee with a friend Saturday night. She said, “Our family has a tradition of starting many projects to see what we can stick with. If you don’t start a project, you can’t finish it.” She’s right. You certainly can’t finish something you don’t start. But the real question for all of is: Should we [...]
When we arrived in Minneapolis, I tried to find an elevator down to baggage claim. (Yes, my knee is not working well enough to take an escalator.) I did find one, but it said “employees only.” Many people who travel are employees. They are just not your employees. No, I didn’t use the elevator–although I was [...]
Mark and I visited his family in the Midwest. We used miles to pay for my ticket. Aside from spending 50,000 miles (is it possible to get a ticket for 25,000 miles? We haven’t in years), it cost $5 for the ticket, $75 for the “services fees” and $15 to check one bag. Yes, this is still [...]

Ralph’s example is of defects in an iteration and how they were not detected early enough because the acceptance criteria were missing. The criteria were missing because the testers [...]
I spoke recently with a (new) Scrum Master with a team who’s new to Scrum. One of the team members is a little stuck. He doesn’t feel comfortable going to the task board to take a task when he’s done. He wants to wait until someone else is ready and then work with that person. Part [...]
I don’t normally pay much attention to these kinds of things, but what the heck, this will give Jurgen a link back. Jurgen has collated the Top 100 Blogs for Development Managers (Q3 2008). I have no idea if he will continue to do this quarter after quarter (!). I’m glad that other people find this [...]
I was trying to address the issue of ROI (Return on Investment) in the project portfolio book. I don’t buy project ROI. FIrst, the idea of a project for software is an artifical construct–our consumers buy running tested features, that we happen to package in a project to release as a product. But the idea [...]
In July, I sent out the Pragmatic Manager email newsletter: 90% Done is Not Almost Done. I have finally posted it. Enjoy!
