  1. Just saw Bloomberg Innovators show abt X Prize. Emphasized power of setting concrete objectives w/o specifying how to achieve them. V. cool.
  2. Gorgeous day here. Celebrated with an almost-6-mi walk, most on a nature trail I didn't even know existed (even tho I've lived here 10yrs).
  3. @smithcdau He needs a cheap alt to Merc Qual Ctr & had never heard of Agile. AA-FTT would not fit for him.
  4. @JoshuaKerievsky And if we reframe from Wringable Neck to Distill a cacophony of conflicting requests to a cohesive vision?
  5. RT @skim RT @rdempsey: Can Agile be Combined with Offshore? 12 Lessons Learned. « Peter DeYoe's Blog http://bit.ly/1kbwsj
  6. @JoshuaKerievsky I see lots of focus on val: prioritized backlog; PO defines What; PO accepts. To me, Agile is all about delivering value.
  7. @JoshuaKerievsky Um, is there anyone in the Agile community who says it's not critical?
  8. @mgaertne I did that. (Doubt the person asking the question appreciated it, but I did it anyway.)
  9. @lassekoskela Snicker. Was just trying to help a guy out. Ended up sending him to StackOverflow...
  10. @78mgb Found this thread on Stack Overflow: http://bit.ly/wHWIf
  11. @mgaertne I was trying to help someone looking for a test mgmt tool like QualCtr. It's not just an unAgile tool, but an unAgile category.
  12. @skim I have an email Q from someone in a nonAgile env who wants cheap alt 2 Merc Qual Ctrl. I want to point him to ppl who can help.
  13. For discussing Agile tools we have the AA-FTT mail list. Where shud I point someone to discuss non-Agile tools (e.g. cheap alts to QualCtr)?
  14. @mgaertne Yes. @jerryweinberg taught me not to use logic to get someone out of a situation they didn't use logic to get themselves into.
  15. @softqual True. Some ppl don't understand diff btwn telling truth to help org deal w/ reality & using "truth" as a weapon for bullying.
  16. @chris_mcmahon I don't think *you* went wrong. You had the courage to point out the elephant.
  17. OK, how's this reframe: It is hard to Speak the Truth, and speak it diplomatically enough to be heard, when people want Comforting Lies.
  18. @scrummeister Yes. So let me rephrase. Maybe hardest part of any job is Speaking the Truth in situations where Comforting Lies are easier.
  19. .@QAwitch Oh no, I must disagree. Speak the Truth does not mean Bully People with Bug Reports.
  20. As a tester, I find the hardest part of the job is to Speak the Truth. Beginning to wonder if that's the hardest part of anyone's job.
