I just ran into this Lost Garden blog post, which I liked: <http://lostgarden.com/2007/02/rockets-cars-and-gardens-visualizing.html> They talk about waterfall...
Ironically, I would say putting a man on the moon was not a waterfall process, but an agile one. Remember, first they put up a rocket with no one in it. Then...

Mel, If she uses slides, we will post those on the website. I can ask someone to take notes, and post those...not reliable. We will also have a webinar, where...
Visual Controls tell how work should be done and whether it is deviating from standards. They make the process transparent, so anyone may determine at a glance...
Hi Keith, Is there a point to your post(s)? There are some very smart people on this list, some of whom created the techniques you refer to. So it would be...
I think it would be useful if at the start of your post, you could state your intent. Do you have a question? Do you want to discuss something? Or did you just...
What was my intent? Good question. My intent was to discover if my thoughts on visual controls were accurate? I'm sorry that I didn't make this clear. What...
On May 9-10, Mary and Tom Poppendieck will give their Lean Software Development: Practitioner's course in Charlotte, NC. This is a 2-day course. This is their...
Did anyone else get this e-mail from Antonio Sánchez? His research look interesting so I answered his questions and mailed him. Unfortunately his e-mail is...
Hi Alan, I sent a reply asking him to call and discuss the questions – my reply also bounced. Mary Poppendieck 952-934-7998 Author of Lean Software...
... Say hi to Barbara Laguna (IIRC) for me! ... I currently do Extreme Programming. I'm not sure if this team would have made sense of the Lean verbiage; it...
I hope Antonio sends us an e-mail address to mail him on, I spent about 30 minutes this morning writing a reply and its too long to post here - umm, maybe a...

... None whatsoever. The financiers _wanted_ the programmers to experience the kind of flame-out that most software projects have, so they could blame us. ...
Greetings friends, I apologize for the email issue. I thank Mary and Allan for posting my research survey in this forum. And I also would like to thank...
Sorry for the late reply ... the DMAIC model is not the only one used within six-sigma (6S) process improvement "methods". In particular, DMAIC is used for...
Hi Everyone, Although I've spent a considerable (I almost typed good) chunk of my career working in Waterfall but I've managed to avoid RUP. What I have seen...
Hi Clarke, I'm not an expert on the matter, but here are my impressions of why RUP doesn't match with Agile very well. 1) RUP is a huge collection of practices...
I haven't worked on a RUP project, and so don't have a strong opinion about it. But the authors of RUP have often noted that the process has been badly...
Hey Clarke, From my understanding (not experience), RUP as a method can be implemented in an agile way, with iterations, collaboration etc. What comes with RUP...
REMINDER: Early registration discount expires today. I don't suppose I need to tell this group that this course is highly recommended. Thanks, Joe ... ...
... I don't know about the original RUP sources, but all of the materials I have seen on the subject very much concentrate on the "processes and tools" aspect,...
I agree. RUP requires 80% of the use cases for the entire system to be completed during the Elaboration phase. The Elaboration phase precedes the Construction...
Hi Clarke, One of the key issues with RUP is the phase wise division(inception, Elaboration, construction, Transition). In one of the projects where we had...
Indeed RUP isn´t inherently heavy on documentation/modelling or an iterative waterfall... It´s the most common instantiation of RUP that uses heavy ...
