SPaMCAST 436 - Incrementalism, UAT and Agile, Systems Thinking


Listen Later

The Software Process and Measurement Cast 436 features our essay titled, Change Fatigue, Tunnel Vision, and Watts Humphrey, in which we answer the question of whether the state and culture of the organization or team, can have a large impact on whether a Big Bang approach or an incremental approach makes sense to change. Our second column is from Jeremy Berriault. Jeremy discusses user acceptance testing and Agile. There are lots of different ways to accomplish user acceptance testing in an Agile environment. The only wrong way is not to do UAT in Agile. Jeremy blogs at https://jberria.wordpress.com/ Jon M Quigley brings his column, The Alpha and Omega of Product Development, to the Cast. This week Jon puts all the pieces together and discusses systems thinking. One of the places you can find Jon is at Value Transformation LLC. Re-Read Saturday News This week we wrap-up our re-read of Carol Dweck's Mindset: The New Psychology of Success (buy your copy and read along). In the wrap-up, we discuss overall impressions of the book and suggest a set of exercises to reinforce your growth mindset. The next book in the series will be Holacracy (Buy a copy today) by Brian J. Robertson. After my recent interview with Jeff Dalton on Software Process and Measurement Cast 433, I realized that I had only read extracts from Holacracy, therefore we will read the whole book together. Every week we discuss a chapter then consider the implications of what we have "read" from the point of view of both someone pursuing an organizational transformation and using the material when coaching teams. Visit the Software Process and Measurement Cast blog to participate in this and previous re-reads. Next SPaMCAST The next Software Process and Measurement Cast will feature our discussion with Steven Adams on our recent re-read of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni (Jossey-Bass, Copyright 2002, 33rd printing). Steven provides insight and some ideas on how to get the most from the re-read feature! 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, for you or your team." Support SPaMCAST by buying the book here. Available in English and Chinese.
