Top Agile Books

E-mail Print PDF

Motivated by the flavor of Agile 2010 conference at Orlando, Jurgen Appelo compiled a list of Top 100 Agile books which would help the software development community.

Jurgen used the approach of getting the ratings from both Amazon and GoodReads, and the dates they were first published. He also used the “also bought this book” feature of Amazon, popularity based on the number of ratings and quality based on average rating along with a few more considerations to arrive at his list.

Developer or Human

E-mail Print PDF
After I shared my thoughts regarding how I am going to spend my time in my next year on computer science research in article 
To know or not to know, this is the question

I got quite extremely good responses from different people who insist that developers are normal human not machine. We do not have any issues on understanding of methodologies and so on, hence the major problem is in ourself. We need to learn how to have a self-development and reach to the presence of ourself then we can have a better communication and better implementation of any methodologies.

There is a very nice article which its title is "people leaves managers not organization" which I think it worth a lot to spend time.

 One of my friends Bernie Eng on this topic has wrote an article which I like it and I think it worth either to spend time.

Metaphors and paradigms

E-mail Print PDF

Morgan’s (1986) book, Images of Organization is suggested that we can view organizations in four different ways - and those different ways can lead us towards a greater understanding of organizational dynamics and what might or might not work when it comes to trying to change the organization:

 

organizations as machines;

organizations as political systems;

organizations as organisms; and

organizations as flux and transformation.

To know or not to know, this is the question

E-mail Print PDF

All of us have been involved in many various software projects. There are plenty of concepts available for any sort of problems that we are facing to in software engineering. Such as methodologies, modeling, languages, patterns, architecture approaches and etc. 

 

In most of experiences, I was trying to implement a good and standard methodology in a exactly way which is defined by minimum customization. Most of the times, I was facing to the different issues which the most outstanding one is: lack of knowledge of people (including myself). Therefore I get familiar with BSC and one of its magnificent perspectives, Learning and Growth. Hence I focused on it and I planned in a way that my team members and myself we reached to a good assimilation.

 

Nonetheless, we had a good knowledge and even either experienced or skilled people among my team, still I believe our performance was not that much decent. If I want to represent my complication, I need to have two layers: (a) software methodologies and (b) organization (or developers)’s culture.

 

I am not trying to make a new paradigm, but I believe if we provide some methodologies which first of all help to each developer to know himself better; each developer be able to do presencing, then later on carrying any software engineering will be simple.
