b'Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 148!The Software Process and Measurement cast 148 is sponsored by .\\xa0\\nThe interview in the SPaMCAST 148 is with Mattias Skarin. \\xa0We talked about kanban, effectiveness and software development philosophy. \\xa0I think it was a great interview and I hope you will like it!\\nBiography: Mattias Skarin\\nSun Tzu once said the ultimate responsibility of generalship is to maneuver \\xa0into a position of success. Mr Skarin asks, "How do we do this in software?" This is his quest. He works as a Lean and Kanban coach, creating systems that leverage the combined effort of many. Mattias solves problems, building people, so they can walk on your own. During his journey he has helped software teams deliver with confidence, scaled Scrum over multiple teams (cutting game cycle time from 24 months to 4) and improved life for operations and support using Kanban.\\nHe is the author of the book \\u201dKanban and Scrum, making the most of both\\u201d and regularly traina and coaches in Lean, Kanban and TDD.\\nContact information:http://www.crisp.se/mattias.skarinhttp://blog.crisp.se/\\n\\nTHe SPaMCAST 148 is sponsored by LeanKit Kanban. LeanKit Kanban is a software tool for kanban that is as simple to use as physical kanban. If you put it up on a touchscreen in your team area, it practically IS physical kanban. But your boards are available from anywhere, and updated in real-time. A slew of\\xa0colors, icons, and avatars take your visual signalling to the next level. And the system tracks the metrics for you, providing analytics on bottlenecks, lead time, work distribution, process efficiency, and variability - for a single board or a whole company. It\'s kanban for the Lean enterprise. \\xa0\\nI have been using LeanKit Kanban for a personnal project my wife and I are working on. \\xa0This week I was in Switzerland and we could share the kanban board accross continents with ease!\\nCheck out to sign up for an extended free trial of LeanKit Kanban. And don\'t forget to download the new \\xa0LeanKit iPad application in the App Store.\\xa0\\nAll SPaMCAST listeners should visit and support our sponsor and thank them for helping defray the cost of providing the Software Process and Measurement Cast! \\xa0\\n\\nShameless Ad for my book!\\xa0\\n co-authored by Murali Chematuri and myself and published by J. Ross Publishing.\\xa0We have received unsolicited reviews like the following: "This book will prove that software projects should not be a tedious process, neither for you or\\xa0your team."\\nHave you bought your copy? \\xa0If you have please post a review!\\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 149 features the next entry in my Simple Checklist Series.
