The Key To Successful Software Lifecycle Integration Deployments

I experienced my first small earthquake (a 4.7 magnitude on the Richter scale) in Vancouver, over the Christmas holiday. I didn’t even realize it was happening, since I was sleeping.  This got me thinking about planning, not only for my family’s safety, but also in general.  As a developer, planning was key to the Agile...

Latte Art and the Art of the Agile Team

These past eight months I’’ve spent working at Tasktop, I’’ve picked up some truly interesting and marketable skills.

Premium grade fuel for software lifecycle analytics engines

I’ve long taken inspiration from Peter Drucker’s caution that “if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” Technological progress has been punctuated by advances in measurement, ranging from Galileo’s telescope to Intel’s obsession with nanometers. Our industry is starting to go through a profound transformation in measuring how software is built, but only after...

CA World – Building bridges between development and the PMO by scaling Agile

Two weeks ago I spent three days in sunny, yet chilly Las Vegas at CA World (yes Vegas was suffering from a cold spell). CA World is the premier event for CA customers, a chance to hear what is new with CA technologies, share customer experiences and connect with product management and CA leadership on...
