Welcome to the Software PRocess and Measurement Cast 199!  

SPaMCAST 199 features my essay I have titled "Brainstorming . . . Well Maybe Not."  The essay presses the case against brainstorming and a technique that I think is better.

If you are interest in reviewing your favorate tool or book.  Please contact me at [email protected].  I am looking for positive reviews and one major stipulation is that you can't work for the company that manufactures the tool, act as a primary re-seller of the tool being reviewed or in the case of a book . . . you can't be the author (that would be an interview).

Shameless Ad for my book! Mastering Software Project Management: Best Practices, Tools and Techniques co-authored by Murali Chematuri and myself and published by J. Ross Publishing. We have received unsolicited reviews like the following: "This book will prove that software projects should not be a tedious process, neither for you or your team."

NOW AVAILABLE IN CHINESE!
