  1. @iesavage In GQM, the measurement answers the questions. Let's say the design of the questions target understanding to address goals.
  2. @mlevison Understanding is not just about behaviour. Behaviour changes with understanding, even if the understanding is incorrect.
  3. The purpose of measurement is not to change behaviour; the purpose of measurement is to understand.
  4. You can't help if you don't know when something's wrong; you can't know when something's wrong if you don't understand the work
  5. I like the innovation stack described in The Future of Management: operational -> product/service -> strategic -> management
  6. Thinking about "teachable moments"
  7. @mdubakov Heh, sure. Software design for developers at least is not at the stage of being treated like an appliance.

  13. RT @dpjoyce: Blogged Red Bead Experiment including materials used http://bit.ly/4s0WRh
  14. It seems to me that control charts are supposed to more about understanding then they are about control.
  15. "Understand what Ready means, not just what Done means" is pretty much the same as "The next process is your customer"
  16. This is starting to grow on me ♫ http://blip.fm/~gbq24
  17. "War is the beast that eats children. With food aid, we think we are feeding the children, but we may be feeding the beast." Lindsey Hilsum
  18. "[Americans] waste [foreign aid] on a lot of big projects. The Chinese just build a stadium or a road and everyone loves them." Osman Ato
  19. "People who claim to be helping tend to become extraordinarily irritated when their motives are questioned..." Michael Maren #theroadtohell
  20. If Agile values are axiomatic, then what did we do before 2001?
