Published: Oct. 9, 2011, 9 p.m.

Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 155!\nThe SPaMCAST 155 features the first part of my essay Systems Thinking and Process Improvement: \xa0Systems and\xa0Systems Thinking, Part 1. \xa0A short part of a larger essay (flying today to Ireland). The essay begins:Have you ever researched, prototyped, piloted and implemented changes to processes only to find that that the\xa0final product takes just about as much time, effort and has about the level of quality. \xa0The second or third\xa0times that happens strongly suggests that optimizing steps within \xa0a system doesn\u2019t always translate into better\xa0overall performance.\n\nInterested in sponsoring the SPaMCAST?\nIf you are interested in being a sponsor please contact me at SPaMCASTinfo@gmail.com for a rate sheet or to\xa0discuss options.\n\nShameless Ad for my book!\xa0\n co-authored by Murali Chematuri and\xa0myself and published by J.
