This blog's been quiet for a while. Sorry 'bout that. Coming
soon I'll be posting about a couple of things we've been
experimenting with. First, for the last 8 weeks we've been using
Jeff Patton 's
techniques for using goals and
user stories in the product backlog to express
activities, tasks the user performs
and tools the user needs to perform the tasks . Second, we're
'playing' with
Critical Chain
estimation , specifically the use
of a
Project Buffer or in our case an
Iteration Buffer, to remove padding from our estimates to see if we
are able to deliver more and get a boost into sustainable
hyperproductivity.
Kevin Rutherford experienced some success with
this when he
tried it . Last, and if I can
convince Gus, we'll post about our use of
Grails .
