Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 223! \xa0\xa0\nThe Software Process and Measurement Cast 223 features my essay on Benchmarking Agile. The essay begins:\nBenchmarking is the search for answers and perhaps if we get very excited, we might say the truth. Benchmarking any project or organization takes time, effort and focus to accomplish. In most cases we expend the effort to measure and benchmark so that we can improve the overall system or organization rather than any single project.\nSPaMCAST 223 marks the beginning of columns by Kim Pries. \xa0Kim is a teacher, author, polymath, phenomenologist, problem-solver living Texas.
