Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 137!\nSPaMCAST 137 features an essay titled Abstractions. \xa0The essay begins:\nThe world is complex; it is comprised of a myriad of processes each with their own slice of\xa0complexity. We all fear being sucked into whirlpool of complexity as evidenced by the laundry list\xa0of best selling books that purport to provide the tools needed to take control of our personal and\xa0professional worlds.\xa0\nAlso included in this SPaMCAST is a product review by Joseph Hurtado, a long time SPaMCAST listener,\xa0for Agile Board which is an IPad app for agile / Kanban tool. \xa0Thank you for the review Joseph!\n\nShameless Ad for my book!\xa0\nMastering Software Project Management: Best Practices, Tools and Techniques co-authored by Murali\xa0Chematuri and myself and published by J. Ross Publishing.
