Most organizations will experience failed software projects. They wont necessarily crash and burn, but they will fail to deliver the value the customer wants. In other words, the software projects will not deliver an appropriate level of quality for the time and resources invested. The extent of failed software projects is calculated every year in...
I remember the famous blog by Mike Gualtieri, an analyst at Forrester stating, I don’t want DevOps, I want NoOps, creating a passionate debate in the DevOps community about the importance and value of operations. After reading all the comments, it seemed that the solution was a sensible one: Organizations need balance – releasing software...
or, work isnt supposed to be this much fun Im just about recovered from our whirlwind trip to Nashville for the Agile Alliances conference Agile2013. There were 1700 attendees, 200 sessions, keynotes, parties, and a little controversy. On a personal note, I was gratified to see the number of women in technology there most...
Bad requirements are often cited as the biggest reason why software projects fail. Badly understood or missed requirements drive business executives to despair. The business and development all blame each other for why things went wrong, and ultimately the end users don’t get the system they want. Over the last 20 years, the industry has...

I also liked how Tasktop is committed to being involved with and connected to the broader Eclipse community. In this spirit, I...
In Eclipse 3.6 we worked with the Microsoft interoperability team to bring some major improvements for Microsoft Windows users, such as Jump Lists, taskbar progress indicator and taskbar overlay text and images. As part of Tasktops ongoing partnership with Microsoft, weve been working hard to bring you two more improvements this year: Desktop Search, and...
It’s always a good time when you meet people in person that you otherwise only interact with through the Eclipse.org Bugzilla. Recently, Matthias Sohn organized a week long hackathon at the SAP offices in Walldorf bringing together committers from EGit, Mylyn, Gerrit and the community. From Tasktop, Benjamin Muskalla and I joined the hackathon. We...
Have you ever committed to the repository and got mail afterwards “Hey, this isn’t compiling!”? Likely you committed only some of the changes you made leaving out files required for a successful build. Let’s take a look at a simple example: In this model we have a class element Some Class in my.ecore which extends...
