Weekly Agile Reading. Pack 6

November 24, 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. Nine Boxes - Dave Nicolette describes a simple yet effective tool for interviewing customers. In essence it is just a clever set of of questions to get the requirement captured in a dialog.
  2. Estimating Testing Using Spreadsheets - Mike Kelly presents a practical approach of estimating the effort needed for testing the project. Whether we agree or not, some concrete spreadsheet examples are worth looking at.
  3. QCon - Trends in Agile Development by Kent Beck - srinip's notes after the Kent Beck's keynote presentation on QCon 2007 conference. Quite a typical Kent's talk. (Kent Beck is the father of Extreme Programming method)
  4. Scrum - Use More Paper - James Brett arguing for the use of simple tools in Scrum

Interesting article indeed. If I have discovered it on the week, when it had been published, I would have probably include it into the weekly list.
