On the subject of choice of tools, and company standards etc.... I don't know about everyone else in the world (a difficult thing to know at the best of times)...
So, just to clarify, you are discussing issues that arise inside a team, for example after a product owner has asked for something? So this would not issues...
+1 on Ron's pithy statement. Also, 1. A rose by any other name is still a rose. 2. AND...words have meaning to people. If you call a horse a donkey, some...
Forgot to mention. Right now I am living in the dream world that Ron describes below. There are, of course, many versions of that dream world that seems so ...
... From a scientific perspective there is a lot wrong with that statement. As you are making a lot of assumptions, around what somone has as a predefined...
... You're putting the cart before the horse. You have to first demonstrate that the existing stuff won't work. You simply can't guess that it won't work. You...
Uh, Standardization? Uniformity? Common architecture? Reuse? Developers able to move around because everything is built off a solid, common platform? ...
Hi Richard ! Nice post. I agree completely. Performance is just one quality attribute of the system. Every attribute has an effect on the architectural and...
I agree with Ron too. The challenge is in the choice of concepts and communicating them. I find I am successful by making the distinction between traditional ...
... It does. ... Bizarr to whom? Just because I do not speak Japanese does not make me think of their language as bizarr nor as some wierdos off the people who...
Hi Cory, I like your approach - it's about what's in it for them. The only important answer should be that they can deliver real value faster, better and...
Perhaps this is a bit too pedestrian, but maybe we just need a better term for this role that Jim and Doug have described? I think that role exists, too, and I...
Hello, woynam. On Tuesday, July 1, 2008, at 11:03:51 AM, you ... Lots of things work but are not ideal. We can't prove that they don't work. It is sufficient...
Thank you all for your comments. I will take these back to the team and see how we want to proceed. Chris ... From: Tapio Kulmala <tapsakoo@...> To:...
Petri, Some of the bigger challenges with performance testing are just as you stated below. We want to measure performance over an 8 to 10 hour period on a 500...
From the thread, it's clear the prevailing view is that a dutifully agile "Project Manager" cannot earn the right to be called "Agile Project Manager." And we...
... no, agile is not ok either. Agile, as used in the context described above, is going to be understood to be an attribute. That attribute is already...

... To me it seems like the controversy mainly is about how useful they really are. I understood Mark to say that we, for example, *should* have a company...
Also I'd say the title of the original message 'Why are we still allowing the term "Agile Project Manager"? ' has something to do with the tone. And, even...
