The Todd on Tech: Why we went Kanban
http://toddkaufman.blogspot.com/2011/08/why-we-went-kanban.html
The Todd on Tech. Thursday, August 11, 2011. Why we went Kanban. I don’t think any single process is the best fit for all teams. Teams and projects using Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall, or any other custom process you can think of have been successful in the past. In my opinion, the most important thing to keep in mind is that the process should be constantly evolving, similar to the software that you are building. Track output, not arbitrary numbers. Planning sessions are no substitute for conversations.

Monday, January 23, 2006. For Christmas from Ian's grandparents and it is a winner. Unlike certain other CDs Matt and I can actually listen to this one repeatedly without feeling like we're losing our sanity. I highly recommend it! Posted by ftmomma @ 6:17 AM. Friday, January 20, 2006. Or not to spike. View other new family photos via the gallery link to the right. :-). Posted by ftmomma @ 7:06 PM. Monday, January 09, 2006.

The Todd on Tech. Wednesday, January 21, 2009. My good friend Jeff. Tagged me to blog my goals for the year. I'm glad he gave me a little inspiration for this as my personal goals are something that's been floating around in my head for some time. With the exception of the first two they are in no order. Here they are, etched in the annals of the internet. 1) Delight my wife. 2) Be a better father to my 2 girls. 3) Exceed the expectations of every customer I come in contact with. 4) Blog every other week.

The Todd on Tech. Friday, July 29, 2011. Myth #1: Indian Developers are Subpar. Myth #2: Communication Will be Easy. Everyone speaks English right? Well at least a country that was colonized by England speaks English, right? Myth #3: Cultural Differences are not that Wide. I knew that there would be cultural differences but I really had no idea how different the people are here from back home. I had brushed up on the differences with a great book, Speaking of India. Thursday, July 21, 2011. Consider thi...

The Todd on Tech. Saturday, August 22, 2009. Interviewing Tip #3 - Focus on Fundamentals. Apologies for the significant delay, but I wanted to pick up the interviewing tips to get at least two more topics off my chest before turning to other posts. I've at times let people slide in an interview without much pressure on their foundational knowledge, but no more. I could care less at this point if you know whether SQLException is a Checked or Runtime exception in Java. You better be able to talk th...I am ...

The Todd on Tech. Friday, September 19, 2008. Clustered Scheduling with Spring and Quartz. Need a question mark here but star there? Comma or dash between my minutes? 1) Download Spring 2.5.5 and only use the Quartz 1.6.1 RC1 jar that is bundled within the lib directory of it. DO NOT USE A PREVIOUS VERSION OF QUARTZ. 2) Execute your appropriate database script. They can be found in the quartz distro under the docs dbTables subdirectory. Make sure that indexes are setup as outlined here. 0 0 1,13 * *?

Friday, August 25, 2006. The eternal run on sentence. Ian. One day I woke up at grandma and grandpa's house, and grandma took me to the potty and I made pee and poop in the potty and then I came out to the kitchen to see grandpa and I said 'Grandpa I made poop in the potty' and Grandpa said 'you did? I'm so proud of you! So Grandpa gave me an ice cream cone and I said, 'Can we go out on the porch and eat it? And Grandpa said 'yes we can. Sure we can! Posted by ftmomma @ 5:34 PM.
