SPaMCAST 475 - Annual Round Table - Agile Not Just For Software Anymore

The Software Process and Measurement Cast 475 features the majority of the SPaMCAST Crew in a round-robin discussion. The recording session covered three topics; however, today we tackle the first topic: Whether agile can be used in other parts of the business. We will return to the next two topics in February! Six people with strong opinions. It is a pretty amazing discussion. Voices you often hear on the SPaMCAST include this cast of incredible minds: Gene Hughson (Architecture) Jeremy Berriault (Quality Assurance) Kim Pries (Software Development) Steve Tendon (Lean and Kanban) Jon M Quigley (Product Development) - not on this week's cast Steven Adams (Agile Practitioner) Re-Read Saturday News This week we take a break from our re-read of Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability: An Introduction by Daniel S.

Next SPaMCAST SPaMCAST 476 features our interview with Kyle Siemens. Kyle is CEO at Brightest. We discussed the case for certifications. The whole concept of certifications is a lightning rod for the excesses of agile and the Agile (big A) industry. Mr. Siemens makes a strong argument for certification when done properly.
