I decided to build upon "Lean Six Sigma" and coin my own phrase and group before someone else stole it. Agile Six Sigma is better than Lean Six Sigma because...
... What I've done before and have seen others do, is the "User Docs" serving double-duty "Requirements Doc." Where we started off being mandated to have some...
Hi All, I know this isn't related to agile modelling, but it does tie in to the whole lean/agile software development. I am trying to persuade my finance...
Can't give you a study, but can supply one person-data-point. Have worked at a shop where a pair of 17" flat-panels was provided instead of the single...
Hi, I'm not convinced on just having one large display though, there would still be the possibility of overlapping windows and having to resize to get them to...
maybe you could do it slowly... one person at a time and get their feedback and measure their productivity. if a team w/ dual monitors produces feature 30%...
