On coaching software development teams, being a Dad, and the art of change. Why spreadsheets don't work. Spreadsheets totally fail to separate presentation from content - which tends to mean that the two get tangled together into an unholy mess. That makes it hard to comprehend the model contained in the spreadsheet. And that makes the spreadsheet hard to change. Posted on 14.1.04 - permalink. Goodbye England, hello Canada!

On coaching software development teams, being a Dad, and the art of change. Don't look behind the curtain. In Threads - Threat or Menace. Eric S. Raymond writes that.

On coaching software development teams, being a Dad, and the art of change. Speak in tongues - or get a translator. Developers tend to share a quite exact vocabulary and a desire for logical argument, something they rarely have in common with customers. On an XP team, where both have to work together, this can lead to misunderstandings. The way to overcome this is to use a translator: someone the business trusts to explain what the development team. In business terms, not in technical ones. The four main...
