Mary, Your question was tempoarily "lost" to a mail synchronization bug on my laptop and just now reappeared, hence the delay. Yes, we are trying to use a...
Hi George, No irony. Just as Eric says, if there were enough people at Agile-ANN, then I would recommend that we all say "no announcements here...they all go...
Hello, Joseph. On Sunday, December 9, 2007, at 11:46:28 AM, you ... Could we at least ask you to put [ANN] in your announcements? I get about a million of...
Hey everyone, How about if we get a little LEAN and a little AGILE and try to solve this geographic problem with a geographic solution? FIRST, let us assess...
Oh, btw, there's a bbq at my place next weekend in Linlithgow, Scotland. Bring your own umbrella. Seriously, I thought I should just say that my last note...
Thanks for the invite Clark! I'll bring some Alberta beef and a Virginia ham. :) Joe, there are many classes and many trainers. Those people are managing to ...
Clarke, I think you have a limited view of "local" in connection with announcements. In the case of classes that I teach, for example, "local" would be all of ...
Indeed I do an awful lot of traveling. But - for example - people have come from the UK to my classes in Copenhagen, and from Missouri to my classes in...
The TPS model for product development has a single person responsible for the delivery of the product. This person is the technical lead as well. Is anyone...
Hi Robin, At the BBC we're currently using the scrum model. Scrum master (which is also the project manager) and product owner. My current role is scrum...
Hi Clarke and others, I apologize to you and Robin and Ron. I am indeed bothered that these messages bother you, which leads me to these lengthy comments: 1....
Hey Joseph, I hope you didn't think my note was directed at you personally. I only subscribe to one non-geographic agile list these days (this one) and I am ...
As a newcomer to this group, I'd like to ask whether there have been substantive conversations on the application of lean/agile to SYSTEMS development. There...
I would be interested in hearing more on this as well. In a recent Q&A response[1] to a similar question Mary Poppendieck pointed to this book: "Lean Product...
Hi Clarke, Appreciate your comments. 1. Local lists. Yes, I think this is a good idea. I started Agile-Carolinas, which covers the North Carolina and South...
Jeff, I am interested in the potential of your discussion. Since you have not received a direct answer, may I propose that you start off the discussion afresh...
Hi, Perhaps some options/routes: A TPS system is continuously developing, the shopfloor is coming up with and implementing improvements all the time. The...
Arun- I appreciate the question. Here's what I know... By "system", I mean those things that would require the integration of hardware as well as software...
... There is something called "Simulation Based Acquisition" - fundamentally the use of layered simulations to virtually "build" and test iterations of a...
I too wrote simulators for the hardware I didn't have access to when I was designing process control systems. The idea was to keep my time "on site" to a...
Jeff, Thanks for the references. I was struck by this line in Rich Turner's article: "One of the characteristics of traditional project management, and by...

While I think there are some key differences between systems engineering and project management, I think you could make similar arguments that good project...

Thought folks here might be interested in this. I stumbled across the MIT Lean Advancement Initiative (LAI) website at * http://lean.mit.edu it is a veritable...
Here are my thoughts based upon five years of experience with agile.? If the develpoment team feels that two weeks is too short, then that's an indicator that...
Folks, Can you tell me if there are any Agile/Lean islands or areas in "Second Life?" Regards, Scott W. Smith "If you would argue with me, first define your...
Hello, Scott. On Thursday, December 13, 2007, at 7:44:42 PM, you ... I'm not aware of any. Be nice if there were. Ron Jeffries www.XProgramming.com The...
