SPaMCAST 141 - Ready For Agile, A Quiz

Published: July 3, 2011, 9:12 p.m.

b'Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 141!\\nIn the SPaMCAST 141, I ask, "Are you ready to implement agile?" \\xa0It might sound like a simple question but it is imperative that you not only have an answer but a structured rational for the answer. \\xa0I propose a simple quiz (part of my simple checklist series) to structure the discussion when you want to know whether you are ready or not. \\xa0It should be noted that like any readiness discussion, determining whether you are ready to implement agile should be viewed as a continuum. \\xa0Your journey, whether remediating issues or planning for change, shouldn\\u2019t be thought of in absolutes; approach readiness as a journey.\\n\\nShameless Ad for my book!\\xa0\\nMastering Software Project Management: Best Practices, Tools and Techniques co-authored by Murali Chematuri and myself and published by J. Ross Publishing. We have received unsolicited reviews like the following: "This book will prove that software projects should not be a tedious process, neither for you or your team."\\nHave you bought your copy?\\n\\nContact information for the Software Process and Measurement CastEmail: \\xa0spamcastinfo@gmail.comVoicemail: \\xa0+1-206-888-6111Website: www.spamcast.netTwitter: www.twitter.com/tcagleyFacebook: \\xa0http://bit.ly/16fBWV\\nNext!\\nSPaMCAST 142 features my interview with Capers Jones! \\xa0We discussed extending function points, his new book and how to improve quality. \\xa0Capers is always thought provoking!'
