Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 195!\nThe SPaMCAST 195 features my essay, Routines: \xa0The Good and The Bad. \xa0Routines are an important part of how we work. Like many other things routines can givith and can taketh away.\nThe SPaMCAST 195 is sponsored by .\xa0\nBy now, most of you in the Lean-Agile community have heard of LeanKit, recognized by community leaders and practitioners alike as the most flexible and powerful tool available for implementing visual management. Since their launch in 2009, LeanKit has helped hundreds of companies around the world to quickly and easily model even very complex processes as vertical and horizontal lanes on a virtual whiteboard with cards representing work flowing from step to step.\nWell, LeanKit has now announced the launch of groundbreaking new features that allow even the largest enterprise portfolio and projects to be managed using multiple levels of drill-down Kanban boards, detailed sub-taskboards, and roll-up Lean metrics - as well as a complete overhaul of their user interface that makes LeanKit more attractive, more intuitive, and easier to manage. If you haven't checked out LeanKit or haven't lately, check out the website to explore how they can help Lean-Agile scale within your organization.\xa0\n! (and say hello for the SPaMCAST!)\n\nShameless Ad for my book!\xa0\n 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."\nNews just in \xa0. . .
