We've gotten at least one gracious offer to give a presentation to the group to help get this group started. We just need a location. I've sent a few private...
A David Bogus came to the lunch. I think he was from the Agile Philly list. Otherwise it was a small group of ScrumMasters that I know. We did not have any...
I finally got back from the "SourceXtreme California road-trip" late last week. Did anyone on this list make it to the Desmond ScrumMaster event? How was it?...
My experience with QA I think was similar to yours. I found that it much greater integrated the QA staff with developers, leading to a much more integrated /...
My experience to this point is that SarBox regulation doesn't extend down to that level of detail in an IT environment - unit tests and things like that... It...
Oh, on your second point(s)... I'm in agreement if you use milestone based payment for services... It completely ties into what I believe is delivering small...
I am in a similiar position. Though not regulated yet, it wouldn't shock me to see my current place of employ begin facing the same kinds of issues. How do...
XP was very well recieved by the QA group. We had already focused heavily on automation as a team, and had good working relationships with the developers....
Oh, yeah, read Raymond a long time ago. I also suggest: Innovation Happens Elsewhere and The Success of Open Source. More open source focus, but related in...
Hi Thom - welcome to the group. Something in common that I have with you is an interest in understanding how XP methodologies work within Sarbanes-Oxley ...
<snip> ... Of course. Here I was just referring to the Bazaar side, since that was what the conversation had been about. There's no reason why a Cathedral ...
... <snip> ... Ron, thank you for the great feedback. We'll see how things go with Agile Philly. ... This is an interesting observation. One of the things Ian...
... In Boston, we just took the agile approach. Since we really hadn't defined a direction, we used our common interests as a basis for getting together and...
Hi Thom, ... If you don't mind discussing it, how did things go with the QA group in the XP environment? Was XP well received? Hey, does Villanova currently...
Hi Mike, It's certainly possible that "CMMI Level 5" is not going to mesh well with how the employer wants to use SCRUM. What problems might you expect? I'm...
Hi everybody - just wanted to introduce myself to the list. I have managed a QA orgnization in an XP environment, and consider myself "Agile minded" for the...
Jason, I'm real interested in the one comment you made below on determining how a successful open source project is run, particularly in an "agile" method. As...
Thanks Ron. I'd be glad to keep in touch. I (and sometimes some others from SourceXtreme) do make it up to Boston occasionally. I'll let you know and post to...
12:00 noon At the Desmond Hotel in Great Valley. All scrumMasters welcome, but you have to pay for your own lunch. This is just an informal networking meeting...
... Sounds good. At some Agile events in the past (Agile United conference in Denver over the summer, XP Day DC, etc.) I started gathering a few names of some...
... Cool. Sounds interesting. Would you say you are more familiar with XP, SCRUM, Crystal, FDD, DSDM, Lean Software Development, or something else? Or, was ...
Oh, I'm not sure what people would want out of one in Philly, and I'm just reestablishing connections in the area. If you can help drive people to this group...
Yeah, mostly been architecting all kinds of SOA, web service, business process oriented, applications in .Net and J2EE (mostly .NET) for the last 3-4 years. ...
Hi Mike, Amsterdam sounds fun. We haven't done a lot of SOA projects at work. Do you work on a lot of SOA oriented projects? We do a lot of cross-platform...
Hi Jason, looks like I missed this one as I was out of town and it was last week. Actually, I was over in Amsterdam trying to discuss the issues of running...
Niraj posted a little while back about XP Day DC 2005. It was a great event. I attended with some other folks from SourceXtreme. There was a pretty good ...
