Ubiquitous Language in Product Development

Hi there. I got this question from a fellow named Martin today: Real simple ... most of the discussion on DDD surrounds the design in terms of the ubiquitous language. What if you are developing a product that is designed to be a tool for a certain industry, say marketing, but the processes and terminology...

Announcing the Lean Kanban Conference

Ayende on Advanced NHibernate

There's this cat called Ayende that's been around the NHibernate block (20 or 30 times). In Austin , he did a 3-hour workshop detailing the advanced features of the tool. If you weren't there, sorry you missed it. Oh wait! You're in luck; someone recorded it! The audio is a little quiet...

Designing the Team Room, Take 2

Based on the comments, a couple of clarifications on my " Designing the Team Room " post from yesterday. The text at the bottom certainly does have contradictions and conflicts. That's by design. We wanted to see what people came up with, what ideas latched on to "productivity"...

Designing the Team Room

At VersionOne , we just got the opportunity to move to a new team room. It's far superior in terms of size, noise level, and natural light. It's a very cool, very lofty kind of space. To get things started, we applied the "design storm" exercise which is a form of concurrent set-based...

KaizenConf Workshops Schedule

UPDATE: We will try to record the full sessions. I'm hoping some participants will bring video cameras and have at it. I'm bringing mine. First of all the temporal situation: Morning Sessions - 9a-Noon Afternoon Sessions - 1:30p-4:30p Then, we have to talk about the nomenclature around and sizing...

The Value of Lean and Kanban

Mark Levison wrote up and introductory article on Kanban for InfoQ. It's from a people perspective and worth a read if your new to this scene or interested. I'm especially happy he conveyed the "work to done" concept. For me that's the biggest thing . Done has a pretty simple definition...

Presenting the KaizenConf Workshops

UPDATE 1: Schedule is coming tonight. Each workshop is approximately three hours long. We're going with a longer form to get more knowledge transfer, interactivity, etc. UPDATE 2: Based on space and time constraints, there will be two sessions going on at once. No tracks (we don't do tracks)...

Transitioning from NAnt to Rake

Maybe you're interested in this Rake business . Maybe you've got a big investment in a whole build infrastructure in NAnt. Maybe, just maybe, it's impractical to convert the whole enchilada over at once. What do you do? Wrap it in Rakey goodness, of course! Step one: leave your nant build...

VersionOne, Day Zero

I announced this on Twitter a while back, but I've left my full-time job at Xclaim to join VersionOne as their internal Agile Development Coach. I'll say, leaving Xclaim was kind of a bittersweet thing. I'm still a part owner of the business, which is nice, but it's the excellent team...

.NET: Coming to a Cloud Near You

From the email announcement: We are excited to let you know that Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) will offer you the ability to run Microsoft Windows Server or Microsoft...

Done For Real

I had the good fortune to sit in on a day long session with Dave Hussman (who is awesome, by the way) on the topic Agile coaching as a lead in to the Atlanta APLN meeting . It was chock full of tips and I recommend getting out to see Dave if and when you get the chance; he packs a lot of knowledge into...

Laribee's Final Law of Continuous Integration

Seeing that DJ Miller is spinning up some amusing-but-true laws of continuous integration , I'm gonna weigh in and declare Laribee's Final Law of Continuous Integration . I see it as so critical that I'm going to put it quasi-biblical speak and in a blockquote: Thou shalt not leave the office...

More General Thing Madness

This description of problem analysis by Reginald Braithwaite (who is a smart person) struck a chord with me: I found this to be an important point in my own programming, and I don't know if that's a general point but quite often we see something and we are very tempted to say "Oh, this is...
