Do you have a space (some call it a Dashboard) where people can see what’s going on with the project or projects that are being worked on at any given time? If you do, you might like to wander over to The Ultimate Wallboard site and enter your own “information radiator” in their competition. Here are a couple I’ve created over the years.

UPDATE – THis has turned into Part 1 of 1. The podcasts of all the talks can be found on Huffduffer. … I would consider myself a low-ish level geek. My professional capabilities lie more squarely in the herder of geeks category. I can speak a bit of nerd and act as a go-between, if you will. Nevertheless, I like to keep up to speed with trends in web geek development. Which is why I attended the annual dConstruct conference in Brighton, last Friday. This is the second time that I have been to dConstruct. Another reason that I go is to break out of the “can we make this font “fatter”?” minutiae of the day job to maintain a view on innovation and what is possible now and in the (near) future…if only the clients/upper management would agree! The theme of dConstruct this year was “Design and Creativity” and you can listen to all of the talks on the dConstruct podcast. I’m going to report on Tom Coates, Merlin Mann and James Bridle’s talks in this post and then go on to do the same with the other speakers in subsequent posts. Continue reading dConstruct 2010. Part 1. Here’s a presentation that I did a while back to some colleagues on the theme “Software Development is Hard”. The audience consisted of a range of people, with differing levels of knowledge abut the matter. I was pretty happy with the presentation, overall. I deliberately tried to steer it away from a black/white, “waterfall is bad, agile is good”, juxtaposition. I don’t know how successful this was. What do you think? I also managed to get some nice pics from Flickr into it too, including some rather cute kittens on slide 25 I took quite a lot of inspiration from Gabrielle Benefield and Pete Deemer‘s rather good Scrum Primer.In my opinion, this is one of the best introductions to Scrum that I’ve read. It’s easy to read and concise (at 20 pages), so check it out if you haven’t already. Instead of thrusting A whole book about Scrum into someone’s hands, this might be a better introduction to the topic…as well as my presentation, of course. |
