Stop-the-Line Issues
This is a very brief and good read forming a part of the concept of technical debt. The author explains why it is important to fix bugs as discovered and not leave them piling up in a bug tracking system. I tend to agree with this approach. http://community.ative.dk/blogs/ative/archive/2007/01/29/The-Waste-of-Defects-_2D00_-Bugs-are-Stop_2D00_the_2D00_Line-Issues.aspx Subscribe in a reader Join my blog network on Facebook Blog Networks Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit...

Scrum-ban
Corey Ladas has written an interesting paper titled Scrum-ban in which he describes how a Scrum team might introduce the lean practice of kanban. He goes on to describe an evolutionary process, which if taken far enough, replaces most of Scrum. Even for those who don't want to scrap Scrum and go lean, the paper provides a useful view into what kanban is and how it can augment Scrum. http://leansoftwareengineering.com/ksse/scrum-ban/ Subscribe in a reader Join my blog network on Facebook Blog...
