Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have more insight into the quality of a product, while it is developed, instead of afterwards? If you could measure the quality of your product, and take action when there is a risk that the quality would become lower than required by your customer?
Op 18 mei is er een bijeenkomst van de people-CMM werkgroep. Op die avond gaan we ervaring opdoen met organisatie opstellingen, en bespreken we de onderwerpen "participatory culture" en "zelfsturende teams".
Als je blogt over “Sharing knowledge is power”, dan kun je vragen verwachten over hoe je kennis nog meer kunt delen. Gelukkig hoeft het allemaal niet zo ingewikkeld te zijn. Het gaat bijna vanzelf, mits je het wat organiseert, stimuleert, en waardeert.
Teams are more and more becoming the core of organizations. Whether project teams, agile teams or any other form of collaboration that is chosen in a company, the setting in which people collaborate is often teamwise. But establishing teams, and keeping them stable isn’t always that easy.
The old adagium “knowledge is power” has been replaced by a 2.0 version: “sharing knowledge is power”. I’m sharing my presentations, papers and all other things that I have published over the years with you, in my list of publications.
Communication is an important factor in improvement programs. Communication using visual management pictures the goals and approach. It motivates people to commit to change, by showing expected benefits and early results. But wrong or too much communication can also frustrate people, getting them to resist changing.
Na de 1e succesvolle publieke bijeenkomst van Agile Overheid op 21 februari j.l. is het tijd voor de volgende. Op maandagavond 2 mei vanaf 17:00 de 2e publieke Open Space conferentie van Agile Overheid, ditmaal in het nieuwe hoofdkantoor van de nVWA, over het thema Agile Risk management.
Software reviews and inspections significantly improve the quality of products, and provide major savings in cost and time. Sound logical, but where is the data to prove it? I’ve made an overview of data that has been published on the business benefits of reviews.
Het thema van de SPIder People-CMM werkgroep op maandag 18 april is “Participatory Culture”. In de bijeenkomst bestuderen en bespreken we dit proces gebied, en daarna passen we het ook zelf toe (eat our own dogfood).
The quality of software is often still insufficient. Pair programming is a proven technique that prevents defects from entering the code.
De eerste waarde van het agile manifesto is “individuals and interaction over processes and tools”. Het klinkt zo simpel, maar de praktijk is vaak weerbarstiger. Tijdens het event “Agile People” op 26 april a.s. delen diverse sprekers hun ervaringen over de mensenlijke kant van Agile. Tevens is er een Open Space waarin we van elkaar kunnen leren.
R&D Organizations are more and more relying on measurements, but many struggle to implement them. There are the usual technical problems associated with collecting and storing data, and creating usable reports. However, the biggest challenges are often related to using the data to actually make decisions and steer the activities of the organization.
