The Software Process and Measurement Cast 477 features our essay on silence. \xa0Silence is a powerful tool to guide conversations and mine information from the stream of consciousness that flows around us. If silence was just a tool to improve our connections with people and to improve listening, it would be worth practicing. But, silence is also a tool to peer deeper into our minds. Silence improves relaxation and helps individuals to focus. \xa0Trust me the podcast is not 30 minutes of silence! We will also have a column from Kim Pries, the Software Sensi. \xa0Kim brings us part one of his essay, Muddling Through. \xa0The essay is based on the article, \u201c" by Charles E. Lindblom. \xa0The article was originally published in 1959 but has an important message that resonates now. Gene Hughson of Form Follows Function anchors the cast. \xa0He discusses his great article, \u201c\u201d Gene suggests that the problem with the term \u201cmonolith\u201d is that, while it\u2019s a powerfully evocative term, it isn\u2019t a simple one to define. \xa0 Re-Read Saturday News This week we tackled Chapter 10a of Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability: An Introduction by Daniel S.
