Hi All The next Agile Dinner in Tampere will be held on *Thursday, May 14 2009, 18:00* in Mallaskabinetti of Restaurant Plevna or in Valhalla in restaurant ...
Hi, last year all the speakers were invited speakers. As promised, this time we will utilise community creativity more by letting anyone to propose a session....
What is the review process for the quality of the submissions, and what are the criteria for a submission? Too many Agile techniques, as good as they sound,...

Yes, the link has an extraneous dot in it. Try this instead: http://confluence.agilefinland.com/display/af/Scandinavian+Agile+Conference+2009 or, shortened: ...
... I'd love to find more information about this. What techniques have been found not working? I have a ton of old agile books - are they full of practices...
... Sorry to disappoint everyone, but: yes. ... Here are the few I could pull off my laptop in five minutes or so. But you shouldn't take my word for it, nor...
Hi Jim, This is in response to those TDD studies. If I remember correctly both the Siniaalto studies had less than 20 test subjects, less than half of those...
... Oh, the link to Keith Braithwaite's "Measure for Measure" (very interesting stuff if you're into math and nature) seems to be dead. Try this instead for...
Hi About for example TDD research mentioned: The problem with research is that it has to be somehow statistically significant with the circumstances...
I somehow knew that this would be the response to my mail. Lasse, we've been here before in this group. Your book is just named TDD but does not reflect the...
... So what? Yes, refactoring is good (I wrote the foreword to the "Clean Code" book), and unit tests can help support refactoring. But that has nothing to do...
... And your point is...? Some of the papers cited EXPLICITLY ADDRESS THIS QUESTION. Please at least read the papers before criticizing them. I agree that...
... And it was not supposed to have any other relation to those cited papers other than being "research" on TDD. In the context of the ongoing conversation, I...
Jim, ... Now you're putting words into my mouth. To make it clear, I'm not saying that TDD is great because published research has its flaws. I'm saying it's...
... So what definition of TDD is the discussion based on? This horse has been beaten to death (and I've done my part of the whacking) and it seems to always...
... Yes, Ari, I agree. First: what I am talking about in this thread is *not* TDD per se, but about the need for publication standards at a conference. I agree...
One of my favorite books is 'The Deadline' by Tom DeMarco. It's a novel about project management and in addition to all of the funny bits and insightful bits,...
So Michael, again: let me make a call for focus on the question. Are you suggesting that the Agile conference should set no preconditions on its submissions,...
... Do we know why? There are a few good research efforts where we have results here. That people fail doesn't mean that a good study shouldn't be able to...
... What I'm saying is that no one can do research in this area which allows one to make generalizations like the one that you made in your original post: that...
Ari, Just to maintain your sanity... ... TDD for me is Roy's definition #4: "Test Driven Development and Design: using the test-first technique to drive new...
Hi James! This is quite an interesting point. It seems that sometimes agile teams forget one important thing. They are happy doing TDD, having 95+ % code...
I wonder how come you call the team agile as it seems that they are not inspecting or adapting accordingly in first place. What is their product owner...
... I guess that one good generalization deserves another, hein, Michael? Well, if generalizations like this one work for you, more power to you. Kaizen is...
Hi, Funny. ... The principles of lean were started without any research, Deming or Taylor as Ohno hated reading theories and he only liked practice :) Even...
