<div>does anyone else? <br/> <br/>At the moment it is a barrier to me introducing more agile ways of working into my project simply because I am buried in it every day attempting to make MS Proj reflect reality I know isn't happening! My GOD what an un-useful tool. None of the team can see a nice view of the plan, it needs revising just about every day, it's 5 freakin A3 pages long when printed and I inherited it from the previous project manager....I just need the guts to tell my boss I'm going to chuck it out and do something different... <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://AgileSW.tribe.net">Agile Software Development</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Haven't seen much traffic for awhile, so let me see if I can stimulate some interest. <br/> <br/>I'm looking for tools to manage and track a team of engineers. I'm looking for something lightweight and collaborative and hopefully not too expensive. What I really want is something that allows the engineers to define their own tasks and milestones and track against them with relatively little oversight necessary for me. <br/> <br/>Has anyone come across any reasonable tools? I've tried both Niku and Microsoft Project... both are expensive and rather heavyweight, aren't very agile, and not very self-managing (nb: i haven't tried project server)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://AgileSW.tribe.net">Agile Software Development</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div> <br/>Hi, <br/> <br/>If I may ask for your advice : <br/> <br/>I would like to dev from Bottom Up an app. <br/> <br/> <br/>It has to have scalability in user number. <br/> <br/>Real time elements integration. <br/> <br/> <br/>And tools that can me added, modified and or upgraded as you go. <br/> <br/> <br/>MySQL back end. <br/> <br/>Simple interface. <br/> <br/> <br/>Do YOU think that Lisp is a good choice ? <br/> <br/>What is the learning curve for it if you could give even an erroneus evaluation of a rate. <br/> <br/>1 - 12 months. <br/> <br/> <br/>Any other app for a better, quicker solution. <br/> <br/> <br/>Thank you for your patience. <br/> <br/> <br/>Lazlo. <br/> <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://AgileSW.tribe.net">Agile Software Development</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>this is more an XP question, but I am curious to find out whether people have been able to implement the 2-week release cycle prescribed by XP -- or even 3-week cycle. <br/> <br/>Follow up question: do the product managers (customers) actually revise/adjust priorities at the beginning of the cycle. <br/> <br/>My experience has been that it is hard to make a self-consistent set of features fit within an arbitrary boundary of 2- or 3- weeks. <br/>In addition, Product Managers tend to change priorities "whenever they want". <br/>The good news however is that we run large regression tests every weekend, so this limits the entropy of the whole process. <br/> <br/>Net-net: Given the high rate of change on the product requirements side, and the fairly poor scheduling skills of this current team, I make sure that we have concrete deliverables, fully tested every 4 weeks at the most.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://AgileSW.tribe.net">Agile Software Development</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>One of the aspects of XP whose effectiveness I'm still questioning is pairs programming. Has anyone out there seen this approach work for substantial projects in the real world? What were the challenges and successes of getting it to work? </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://AgileSW.tribe.net">Agile Software Development</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>Has anyone read Thomsett's book on project management?

<div>So I'm interested in the group opinion about debugging techniques and how they relate to agile coding. <br/> <br/>There's been a lot of push lately toward things like log4j for doing audit trails that are used for field diagnosis of code, and I've recently seen that creep back into the dev process, where coders basically litter their code with audit statements so if something goes wrong, they can read the log and actually debug that way. But of course, this leads to complete information overload when the logs are chugging out 30M a minute of goop when the code is being run in normal conditions. <br/> <br/>Modern debuggers (at least for us java heads) have been getting lots and lots better lately (intellij rules!), and have been pushing me back towards the middle of the road on the extreme logging and towards the debuggers, just for speed of turaround on bug fixes, if nothing else. <br/> <br/>I'm wondering how other folks feel about this, and if its something that has been crossing their minds.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://AgileSW.tribe.net">Agile Software Development</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Here's something I haven't seen addressed much. In a one person development environment, what subset of the Agile/XP canon is helpful? <br/> <br/>I'm doing a personal project on which I am the sole developer. I've got a task management system which is much like the cards, I'm making efforts to get close to 100% unit test coverage of my system, I'm looking at using Fitnesse to actually set up final acceptance tests of the full working system (it is web-based). Does anyone have references to an "XP for one" source (or am I going to have to write it?) Even more importantly, how can you organize and comport yourself as the lone developer so that you can add additional ones with the lowest cost? That's what it is all about, after all. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://AgileSW.tribe.net">Agile Software Development</a> - 7 replies </div>
