b'Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 189!\\nThe Software Process and Measurement Cast 189 features my essay on the use of experiments to support process improvement programs. \\xa0The essay begins:\\nIs the use of experiments part of your process improvement culture? When I\\u2019m at conferences or networking events, I get asked whether or not an idea or technique will work in a specific organization or situation. \\xa0In many cases the answer I give is that in reality, it depends. I know that sounds like common consultant speak but what \\u201cit depends\\u201d means is that to really understand if something could work, you need to determine how to balance organizational culture, people, skills and the assets that can be deployed (not all tools are good). \\xa0The only way to increase the knowledge needed to forecast success of any specific change is through experimentation in a real world environment.\\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\\n\\nNextIn the SPaMCAST 190 we have a return visit by Raja Bavani of Mindtree. \\xa0We discussed distributed agile. \\xa0Is was a great interview and a VERY pertinent topic for anyone practicing agile, methodologists or those who manage agile organizations.'
