December 1, 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. Nokia Foundation award to Pekka Abrahamsson.I don't usually write much about my day job company and my academic life, but this is a special case. My company gave its main award to a truly exceptional person in the agile world. Pekka Abrahamsson is one of those who brought agile to Finland and made Finland an "island of agile" as Alexey Krivistsky once called this northern country. Pekka continues bringing agile to the whole world and I am happy to be his PhD student.
2. Integrating Scrum with the Process Framework at Yahoo! - Karl Scotland published slides from the Yahoo! Europe presentation at this Fall Scrum Gathering
3. Return of the Naked Agilists! - Kevin Rutherford announces the second Skypeference on agile. The only thing you need to participate is a working Skype connection. Mark Saturday 19-Jan-08 20:00 GMT - 21:30 GMT in your calendar
4. Everything you Need to Know about Agile - an excellent Dilbert comic on quite an typical (?) agile adoption story
5. Agilistas on LinkedIn - Chris Spagnuolo created a new group on LinkedIn. There are 90 people already including Mike Cohn and Jean Tabaka to mention a few.
6. Code Emphasis for Tests that Teach - Brian Marick claims that since one of the main test purposes is to teach us how to handle the tested piece of code, the test code should be refactored by the different standards
