Hello one and all, I start this post with the question, the summary if you like, "why does XP insist on estimating stories using ideal weeks?" Before people...
... First, not *every* book or article speaks of using weeks. I'm pretty sure that XP Installed (the pink book) spoke of points as well as ideal days and...
Hello, trippledes. On Saturday, February 2, 2008, at 2:57:57 PM, ... It doesn't. ... Because the authors didn't provide the feature. ... I think I could find...
Greetings, I am charged with completing a project requires the completion of a Requirements Analysis Doc mirroring a small system using UML. My topic is...
We have a tool called LumiCode that will create class diagrams (free version) and sequence diagrams (with the profession version only). This tool works from...
I might be sounding a wee bit prehistoric but Visio didnt do me any harm in creating most/ all those diagrams you mentioned below. A plethora of templates can...
Thanks for the replies on this i will look a little harder and yes i did fail to mention i was thinking that the application was the problem. I guess this...
The preferred "application" consists of collocated people using index cards, big visible charts and white boards. As long as you are trying to understand XP...
Imagine the scenario... There i am going through an iteration planning meeting, incomplete stories have been moved back in to the backlog, a preliminary list...
I know what you are saying Steven and believe me its something i tried many moons ago. Yellow stickies, whiteboard, big open wall space, oh how much fun i had...
... After each iteration, there should be a team retrospective. The team should consider what has been delivered (and not) and what the customer feedback is,...
But steven isnt it inevitable that when you have one senior man on the team they will tend to be the loudest person on the team?? And the lesser knowledgable...
I think that some or all of OpenUSS was built using AndroMDA, so they should have UML diagrams which were used as the input. Of course, since it's a...
I would also add that in these situations sometimes the more Alpha person in the meeting is talking at such a low level that others feel that there isn't any...
Well said, indeed! In my experience, I have not seen or used any automated tool that is more effective than the "old fashioned" methods you mentioned. I've...
Hi Joe certainly found your repositioning of people quite interesting. Just curious as to whether removing person X from the breakdown meetings if he still was...
Does using a tool change that? It seems to me that the group dynamics will prevail either way. It's up to the group itself or the project leader to push the...
That's what one last look in the mirror before you go out is for. And that's the job of the project leader. No one said collaboration is easy; just that's...
Hello, trippledes. On Tuesday, February 5, 2008, at 3:55:27 PM, ... That's too bad. It works better. Your team may be using these electronic things to avoid...
Hello, trippledes. On Tuesday, February 5, 2008, at 5:11:05 PM, ... No, it's not inevitable. A really good senior person lifts up those around him. ... No,...
Ron: I agree. The people who reject the simple but effective Agile approaches already know too much, to their detriment. Regards, Pete In a message dated...
I like the way Ron makes the point by behaving as the alpha person in question! Putting this another way - there's a limit to how valuable anyone can be on her...
It's been said many times that agile isn't "against" tools, it's just that people and interaction are the central things. There's no reason the people can't be...
... You approach it from the perspective that you are placing the Alpha person in a mentorship and oversight capacity then I don't think they will feel ...
... flash. So true. The simplicity of the tool set and communication are in part a direct reflection of the culture to which it is being applied. The term...
