An agile advocate's advice and arguable axioms. Wednesday, February 18, 2009. Jira for agile projects? About trying to use Atlassian Jira as an agile project management tool. My current client already uses Jira across multiple projects and they are reluctant to change tools or spend for new tools. We use Jira "versions" to define iterations.

An agile advocate's advice and arguable axioms. Sunday, October 11, 2009. Agile vs. Waterfall: The NetFlix analogy. The following is a fable to compare traditional waterfall projects to agile/lean projects. Announcing my new movie rental service, NetPix! Here's how it works.

http://agileadvocate.blogspot.com/2008/12/definition-of-done.html
An agile advocate's advice and arguable axioms. Wednesday, December 17, 2008. The Boulder Agile Meetup. Group met last night and discussed the definition of "done", or DoD, on an agile project.
