Hi Tim benefits of an agile approach, are not obvious, if you are new to it, and it does take time to win the client/stakeholder(s) over sometimes. the...
As somebody who is deeply involved in internet startups, I've been very excited lately by the rise of the Lean Startup movement. Basically, it combines Agile...
Having done 2 startups - one that failed one that went public (www.triconex.com)- I know of no other way to get the first article. Is these really "new" in the...
Thanks for sharing! For a nice framework that lets you compare you vs. your competitors *and* figure out what needs/wants that should be satisfied (but not ...
... The Lean Startup stuff? Nothing is truly new under the sun; many claimed there was nothing new about Agile, either. But I think there are several things...
There truly is not a lot new here. Most of agile is borrowed from design (iterative work, early prototypes, user testing, mini-meetings... et al) and the...
William The big false positive in this argument is the continuous deployment. Remember the annoying browser wars with the unending interruptions to using the...
... If you're saying that there are ways to do Continuous Deployment wrongly, I don't think anybody would disagree with that. The interesting part to me is...
... I guess if somebody had said, "Hey, X is totally new in the history of the world and I am a genius for discovering it," then the "X is not new" response...
Well, I suppose you get good marks for rhetoric here William, it is in fact hard to argue with a democracy metaphor lol. Nothing new here is nothing new. ...

Hello, William. On Wednesday, March 3, 2010, at 9:54:41 PM, you ... I just wish we could learn it in the USA ... :) Ron Jeffries www.XProgramming.com ...
Perhaps a discussion on the difference between a Repbulic and Democracy would be a good first start, but that would be a major step into this Rabbit Hole. Mike...
It is good to hear there has been this much movement in the land of giga-mongo projects. Have you ever thought this might be also measure the gap between what...
Would love to hear from some of you on this issue – I manage a UX team that is in an agile driven organization, has been for 2-3 years now. As the demand...
... I don't have any magic solutions, but I did want to tell you that this is a common problem. A good Agile adoption should increase development output, make...
Hi, Of course the best would be if ux resources would be part of the teams but you lack the resources. Look like you have to organise your capacity in a lean...
One approach to addressing this is UX Office Hours, in which each team produces ux/ui solutions without a ux specialist or with minimal involvement, and can...
Dear all, [apologies for cross-postings] I\'ve compiled a list of conference dates/deadlines with relevance to our community. I aim to send an updated overview...
HI I saw your post: And I know your pain. I have written several articles on my blog about agile and ux - uidesignguide.com. I think you have to look at this...
Other than mitigating burn out (which is a serious concern for my team) how does spreading the team over so many projects (an issue I also face) affect quality...
Julie, You've already received some excellent advice, but I'd like to focus on one small bit. ... Are your team members receiving value from all of these...
... It kills quality, but you're able to help the organization release a product that's not as bad as what would go out without UX there. Faint praise, but if...

(responding to Julie) ... We solved a similar but more severe problem - one person had 3 times the amount of work he could cope with, across several teams. ...
Paul, The vast percentage of our "triage" efforts for project and programs, from large defense to agile development start with building a RAM (Responsibility ...
