But it's very cool that the principles and practices of the Kanban method still apply as written (also that they say nothing IT-related). It works down to personal level too, though-de-emphasising all but two of the practices.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231681582044414408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21436926.post-54637041701162243052012-01-04T06:48:11.190+00:002012-01-04T06:48:11.190+00:00PMP Bangalore Aspirants should See this PMP Certif...PMP Bangalore Aspirants should See this <a href="http://www.knowledgewoods.in" rel="nofollow">PMP Certification Bangalore</a>Reema Kapoorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752044112921395449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21436926.post-45259155705502320272010-07-02T12:29:03.588+01:002010-07-02T12:29:03.588+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17607944526088865184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21436926.post-21694178981384284712010-03-31T18:37:14.859+01:002010-03-31T18:37:14.859+01:00Reports that generate a lot of output can suffer f...Reports that generate a lot of output can suffer from "out of memory" as the OGNL just navigates over the set of object gerating a larger and larger string in memory before it is output.

I am still interested in Naked Object because I am sure that frameworks like this are such a natural support for development teams. Surely that they will become ubiquitous. I think it's obvious that a good domain model contains more than enough information to generate full applications - albeit with standard user access and persistence mechanisms. It's probable that user interfaces will get specialised to gain competitive advantage, but in the early stages of projects/products there really is no justification for this extra expense. <br />Keep pounding the message. It'll get through eventually!Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231681582044414408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21436926.post-80828286891614041062010-03-15T14:13:44.834+00:002010-03-15T14:13:44.834+00:00Andy - glad to hear you're still interested i...Andy - glad to hear you're still interested in Naked Objects. It is many years since we met. Are you aware that you are responsible for a feature of Naked Objects? In the very early days Naked Objects only supported two kinds of actions: zero parameter (which were rendered on the pop-up object menu) and one-parameter, which were invoked by dropping one object on another. Our line then was that if you needed more than one parameter, then you were effectively looking at another object (albeit transient-only). It was you who suggested that public methods with mutiple parameters should also be rendered as menu actions, but generate a dialog reflectively. That's now been part of Naked Objects for so many years that it's very hard to remember how we managed without. So, belatedly: Thank You.Richard Pawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395737389966853357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21436926.post-61352249048222321712010-03-09T11:28:11.120+00:002010-03-09T11:28:11.120+00:00Thanks Marcelo.

If you do two week iterations and release every two to four weeks, then EVM likely doesn't add anything. However with 30 day iterations and releases every 3 to 6 months, EVM IMO has a role to play. You may argue that Agile programs that don't release more freqently than every 3 months are not agile, but it is not always possible in every domain to do so. Some commercial and DoD domains don't lend themselves to frequent releases, although they can still run Agile iterations with demonstrations.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00145813544777275902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21436926.post-26693483235034082322008-03-09T22:22:00.000+00:002008-03-09T22:22:00.000+00:00Thanks Robin for your comments on this post. I wel...Thanks Robin for your comments on this post. I welcome the discussion and I'd encourage others with views on this topic to post here also. I'll point delegates to this post so they can benefit from the views expressed. I am aware this is a controversial area and without such discussion simple statements may be taken out of context. For example people may misinterpret my views and think that I'm telling them to carry on in a waterfall fashion without adopting agile practices. I'm not!<BR/><BR/>Two important things to note about this paper:<BR/><BR/> 1. I'm not recommending that people use EVM unmodified. The modifications explained in the paper may seem quite modest, but their effect is profound in that they allow precisely the flexibility to change the goals of the project and achieve the agility you describe.<BR/><BR/> 2. This paper is not being presented to agile practitioners, but to an EVM conference. While some might take that as an opportunity to tell the delegates that everything they are doing is wrong, I actually believe there are lessons each camp can learn from the other. Rest assured though that I will make plain to them - as I hope I have in the paper - that EVM in an <I>unmodified</I> form <I>is</I> inappropriate for agile.<BR/><BR/>At the end of the day the important thing for agile teams is that they can work flexibly and improve the quality of their forecasting timebox by timebox. These metrics are by no means the only way to improve on "yesterday's weather" forecasts of velocity. I'm aware many others are working in this area too. As we understand each other's work better I feel confident that not only will our project management of agile projects improve, but that PM's from many other traditions will want to apply the results as well.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231681582044414408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21436926.post-83109382433746366232008-03-06T22:09:00.000+00:002008-03-06T22:09:00.000+00:00I have posted a blog on this subject.

There are numerous reasons why this is, the most important being that Agile delivers product to the business and a return on investment early, often, and throughout the project. This means that it is now possible to measure ACTUAL market acceptance and ACTUAL ROI. We are not building bridges or roads where the capital cost outlay is amortized over 20 years. Using EVM does not add value to the project, and does not increase understanding or visibility. Agile and Lean methods emphasize regular demonstrations of actual progress, and regular releases into production. This is what managers need to look at. Lastly, EVM is built on estimates that are wildly inaccurate because of the uncertainty built into any complex endeavor where the customer doesn't know what they want until they go on a learning journey with the team, and the business context is continually changing. I believe you and your colleagues are intelligent people, so I urge you to learn something new, and stop trying to shoehorn bad old ideas into a completely new way of working.<BR/><BR/>I would also recommend you read my paper on Appropriate Agile Metrics.
