VersionOne is recognized by Agile practitioners as the leader in Agile project management tools. Companies such as Adobe, BBC, CNN, Dow, HP, IBM, Sony and 3M have turned to VersionOne to help deliver greater value to their customers.
Worth watching. It bookends well with Dan North's article on InfoQ earlier this year on why the Dreyfus model indicates there's no such thing as "Best Practice". We played this in an office meeting and agreed to try and put some of this into practice.
Funny too. You often see tech presentations being described as humorous and they rarely are (unless you like lame tech jokes). Dave Thomas though has a good line going in comic effect.
I have tried to view this a couple of times and both times it stopped abruptly after about a few minutes. It stops around the time Dave Thomas is talking about a taking flying lessons and reading a "duffel bag full of books".
If I try to play again, it starts over from the beginning. And yes, I have tried to drag the progress bar to about where it left off; that doesn't work either.
I am viewing this page using FF 3.0.1.
Any suggestions?
I was able to watch the entire presentation with my FF 3.0.1 - Windows XP.
I am facing the problem too...same as above mentioned...Could somebody fix this from Infoq team..
I had also tried on IE 7
Thanks!
Thank you Dave for showing me a different perspective of looking at it. Although it kind of mirrors the ShuHaRi idea from Alistair Cockburn's books. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuhari
Also for clearly stating things like 'Don't depend on your org to train you' - this is something that most people grasp after losing too much of their 'receptive' life
Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.
"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?
Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
SpringSource CTO Adrian Colyer discusses AspectJ, SpringSource's dm Server and tc Server products, OSGi and Scrum.
Heroku's Adam Wiggins talks about Rails, Background Jobs, Add-Ons, Ruby, and how Heroku manages to work around Ruby's inefficiencies using Erlang and other languages.
For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
