    SPaMCAST 291 – Splitting User Stories, Tame The Flow, Steve Tendon

    SPaMCAST 291 – Splitting User Stories, Tame The Flow, Steve Tendon
    Listen to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 291. SPaMCAST 291 features our essay on splitting user stories. User stories are a powerful tool used by many Agile teams to conceptualize the value they will deliver. Generally when stories are captured they can range from granular units of work that can be accomplished in a day to gargantuan features that will require multiple sprints to complete (epics). Epics are very difficult to work with therefore all Agile teams need techniques for splitting user stories into smaller units of work. We also have another of Steve Tendons great Tame The Flow columns. Steve continues to discuss constraints, bottleneck, lean and hyper-productivity! I have shortened the introduction of the cast this week. I would like your feedback. Get in  with us anytime or leave a comment here on the blog.

Dr. Levin and I discussed her book, Implementing Program Management: Templates and Forms. Dr Levin and her co-author Allen Green wrote their go-to reference for program practitioners, colleges, universities, and those sitting for the PgMP. Ginger provides great advice for program managers who are interested in consistently delivering value to their clients.

    SPaMCAST 273 - Gamification and Process Improvement, Tame the Flow 2 - Steve Tendon
    Check out 273.  The SPaMCAST 273 features our essay on gamification and a new installment of Steve Tedon's column: Tame The Flow.  Gamification is a tool to support process improvement.  It is a technique that leverages a player's innate competitive drive to channel their behavior using game mechanisms. The goal is to have individuals, teams, and organizations adopt process changes and then process improvement. In the second edition of Tame the Flow, Steve and I talk about constraints, bottlenecks and retrospectives. Contact Steve on Twitter @tendon or visit his website at www.tendon.net For the next few weeks the Software Process and Measurement Cast will include a promo for the "Influential Agile Leader" events led by Johanna Rothman and Gil Broza.  Check out the full details at www.InfluentialAgileLeader.com Get in with us anytime or leave a comment here on the blog.  Help support the SPaMCAST by reviewing and rating it on .

    "The more the data banks record about each one of us, the less we exist."
    - Marshall McLuhan

    • figure... Marshall McLuhan cenntenial birthday July 21, 2011
    • We feared television would swallow us but, instead, we swallowed TV
    • We are anthropomorphic holograms, images projecting from within; "hollowgrams"
    • Tame Impala: "Solitude Is Bliss"

    "Transmitted at the speed of light, all events on this planet are simultaneous. In the electric environment of information all events are simultaneous, there is no time or space separating events."
    - Marshall McLuhan

    • DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid: "McLuhan Remix"
    • McLuhan versus Go Go Dancers: "Aren't they going to turn that down?"
    • Elyse Amsterdam: "Because I'm a Hologram (30 DUB) [ft. Liz Lemon]"
    • Picnic In Space: "The artist [...] is always trying to pep up perception"

    "I think of art, at its most significant, as a DEW line, a Distant Early Warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen to it."
    - Marshall McLuhan

    "The medium, or process, of our time - electric technology is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life. It is forcing us to reconsider and re-evaluate practically every thought, every action,"
    - Marshall McLuhan

    "One of the effects of living with electric information is that we live habitually in a state of information overload. There's always more than you can cope with."
    - Marshall McLuhan

    They still think in the old patterns, 19th-century patterns, but they live mythically. They live surrounded by mythic monsters like go-go girls. [At the bar] Aren’t they going to turn that down? “Waiting for go-go.” “The medium is the message.” “Growing – growing up absurd.” The go-go girls ordinarily have a cage… [winces] while appearing to manifest their energies untrammelled, unconstrained, sound in this kind of world is not used as something to be listened to. It is a kind of foam rubber which you press against/it presses back against you, makes you feel kind of wanted. Sound, in the new world, of dance and song is not for listening. It’s for making. And so the go-go girls, locked up each in her little world, represents a kind of theatre of the absurd, in which all communication has broken down. In fact, no attempt is really made to communicate. Each puts on his own show in his own little straitjacket. - Marshall McLuhan
