Agila Manifestet på Svenska
Nu finns Agila Manifestet på svenska!
Detta dokument skrevs 2001 av 17 experter inom mjukvaruutveckling och startade en ny epok inom branchen. Författarna bakom detta formade samtidigt organisation Agile Alliance med visionen "We support those who explore and apply Agile principles and practices to make the software industry productive, humane, and sustainable."
Som styrelseledamot i Agile Alliance har jag tagit på mig ansvaret att internationalisera manifestet. Mitt mål är att få manifestet översatt till så många språk som möjligt, så tipsa gärna mig om lämpliga översättare till andra språk!

I think Mitch did a good job of turning the interview into coherent articles (not an easy job).

Kanban and Scrum - a practical guide
Slides from QCon San Francisco
Here the the slides from my presentation "Kanban and Scrum - a practical guide" from QCon in San Francisco today. The presentation is mostly pictures. If you are curious about what I was saying, check out the free online book "Kanban and Scrum - making the most of both".
Great feedback! 77 green notes, 7 yellow, 0 red. Someone even wrote "there should have been a greener one!" Always fun with an enthusiastic audience, thanks everyone :o)
Take-away points:
Great feedback! 77 green notes, 7 yellow, 0 red. Someone even wrote "there should have been a greener one!" Always fun with an enthusiastic audience, thanks everyone :o)
Take-away points:
- Know your goal
- Hint: Agile/Lean/Kanban/Scrum isn’t it.
- Never blame the tool
- Tools don’t fail or succeed. People do.
- There is no such thing as a good or bad tool. Only good or bad decisions about when, where, how, and why to use which tool.
- Don’t limit yourself to one tool
- Learn as many as possible.
- Compare for understanding, not judgement.
- Experiment & enjoy the ride
- Don’t worry about getting it right from start; you won't.
- The only real failure is the failure to learn from failure.
- Don’t worry about getting it right from start; you won't.
