Weekly Agile Reading. Pack 3

October 27, 2007 by Artem Marchenko

Manually filtered top of the most interesting writing published since last Saturday. Of course, most interesting from my personal point of view.

Top writing of the week

  1. We're live! (a success story) - An exciting success story of an XP project that resulted in MicroPlace. The critical success points listed.
  2. Trading off agile principles and practices - Dave Nicolette on the Valtech's experiences with sacrificing some agile practices in order to support the more important ones.
  3. A very non-lean ER experience - Lean Blog reports on the awful visit to the emergency center. It is not exactly about the agile methods, but a very special story explored from a lean perspective (the agile methods are based on the lean manufacturing principles).
  4. Automating tests vs. test-automation - Google Test Engineering Manager tells about how they perform testing on various levels of the system.
  5. Those wacky agile zealots are at it again - Dave Nicolette's fascinating allegory on a software product development.
