The Back of the Napkin: Solving Design Problems (and Selling Your Solutions) with Pictures

Speaker: Dan Roam
Description: Let's face it: describing user experience is hard... unless we use pictures. This session demonstrates step-by-step how anyone, regardless of artistic talent or training, can use simple pictures to describe complex design and technical concepts, solve fuzzy problems, and sell others on breakthrough ideas:

A Software Developer's Reading Plan

This list describes the reading program a software developer needs to work through to achieve full professional standing. The plan described is a generic baseline plan for a software professional who wants to focus on development.

Going through the numbers: what kind of scope can your agile delivery platform handle anyway?

Today a manager asked what kind off scope and effort the Accelerated Delivery Platform could handle on a project expressed in function points. I find this a very odd question and I have always been resilient to function point analyses as an estimation technique which tries to best guess the end state of a software solution based on and determine by the number of interfaces, screens, reports etcetera. Often this happens upfront at a point in time there is only a vague idea for a perceived solution for specific problem which still needs to be analyzed in detail. Very old school thinking if you would ask me, which is not helpful for providing agile ICT support for business development and transformation. Asking for the ADP platform’s project delivery capabilities expressed in scope and effort is a weird measure for suitability for a software development platform. Given infinite time any scope and effort can be handled by any approach. But then again every project is always about time and...
