Tuesday, 20 September 2011. Effect Mapping to manage products. Just been to this talk by Gojko on Product Management using Effect Mapping. It is a technique which is useful for high level project visualisation. It is very similar to mind mapping technique where stakeholders, users and teams colloborate on project scope. It helps reduce scope of wish lists and helps teams focus on business goals by asking the questions Why? For more see, Gojko’s white paper on this see http:/ gojko.net/effect-map. Ensurin...

Agile Driven Development: June 2011
http://www.agiledrivendevelopment.net/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 June 2011. Screw Unit – Teamcity Integration. I tried to write a teamcity test runner for screw unit which will send messages to TeamCity , but this was hard work and the effort involved was simply too much. The effort involved in setting this up was 30 minutes. (I already knew how to setup tabs in TeamCity ). 1 Write a unit test runner which will use Watin to open the Screw Unit test suite.html file. System.Collections.Generic;. Tests that ScrewUnit tests pass. Browser.GoTo( @"file:/ /".

Agile Driven Development: Building Agile Teams – Not sure?
http://www.agiledrivendevelopment.net/2013/02/building-agile-teams-not-sure.html
Wednesday, 27 February 2013. Building Agile Teams – Not sure? Are there exceptions not sure…. 1 Don't build teams of specialists. It doesn't make sense because they achieve neither. 2 Don't share people unless they are specialists. 3 Build Cross Functional teams. 4 Encourage common goals for the teams. 5 Don’t encourage Big Teams. 6 Don’t use Agile if team is working as a resource pool. Agile cant work with this model where multiple people work in multiple projects as if they were a single team. So d...

Agile Driven Development: August 2010
http://www.agiledrivendevelopment.net/2010_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, 26 August 2010. The N 1 Iteration syndrome. Analysts find it frustrating that they have to repeatedly read the story out and explain the same story more than a few times. Team velocity sways massively and the standard deviation to average velocity is quite high. Requirements workshops are almost absent and it seems like analysts are in a different time zone on the user requirements on most occasions when compared to the team. Encourage analysts who are working on N 1 Q to speak about there anal...

Friday, 19 September 2008. Nant Task for Sandcastle. I have been thinking of writing a Nant task for Sandcastle for quite some time so I decided to knock something up . I have been fairly busy at work and havent been able to spend time on this. As i find some time on the train I just finished this piece of code. I have based my task schema on the bare minimal that will require direct configuration in nant. In any case you should be able to do all the configuration in the sandcastle project. What&...Insta...
