Feed Description: Keith Ray's notes to be remembered on agile software development, project management, oo programming, and other topics.
I've been reading his blog for a while and it's time to point out some blog entries that I found interesting.
Coding Without A Net describing his reading "Agile Web Development With Rails" and practicing Rails programming. See also his other post on this book.
Gaming Testing Metrics. How collecting and tracking estimated fix times failed to make a change in a "death march" project.
Better Feedback Loops with One on Ones. Ed is a manager and has been doing one-on-one meetings with his direct reports every week. He was inspired to do this from podcasts and books like Behind Closed Doors and likes the results.
Story Points Estimating in which he talked about Scrum and estimating in Ideal Days or Story Points.
Not Playing With Scrum which describes how he (and his agile coach) will deal with a developer who hasn't bought into Scrum yet. (Not necessarily in the way you would expect.)
Our Agile Methodology: 6 Month Review. He summarizes the good and bad impacts of having adopted an agile method based on Scrum. This is a real-world experience report, so read it!
