SPaMCAST 610 - Organizing Around The Product Flow, Agile or Traditional, Pick One, Conversations and Essays

The Software Process and Measurement Cast 610 features our essay, An Agile Team In a Waterfall Company – Organizing Around The Product Flow. Focusing on getting features and support for a product to market changes how teams and groups organize to solve business problems.  This is a standalone essay that can be read as part of a larger theme covering the trials faced by an agile team in a waterfall company.  The four separate essays can be found at:  An Agile Team In A Waterfall Company -   Postponing Commitment -   Values, Principles, and Behaviours -   Organizing Around The Product Flow -   We also have a visit from Susan Parente with a discussion that I have named, Agile or Traditional, Pick One!  Many organizations have to make accommodations for mandated classic project management approaches. Susan provides excellent advice for making these types of scenarios work.  Re-Read Saturday News  This week we tackle Chapters 7 and 8  of These two chapters are a case study that knits together operational and financial throughput.
