The Software Process and Measurement Cast 622 features my interview with Brian Gill, CEO at Gillware. Brian is a serial entrepreneur in the software and cyber world. We discussed the importance of cybersecurity, real backups, having disaster recovery plans, and the fact that just having data in the cloud is not a security strategy.

This week we tackle Chapter 19 of Steve Tendon and Daniel Doiron’s Tame your Work Flow. Chapter 19 combines many of the moving parts from the previous chapters into a set of tools for monitoring the execution of work. The authors pick up at the portfolio level developed in Chapter 18. Portfolio items, once committed and placed into flow, can contain many groups of work that Steve and Daniel term Minimal Outcome-Value Effort or MOVEs (see week 14). Once in flow (being worked on), a flow manager picks up managing the MOVEs.

Next SPaMCAST
The Software Process and Measurement Cast 623 will feature my interview with Christian
Clausen, author of Five Lines of Code from Manning Publications. We discussed why refactoring is needed, and the rules Christian has developed get the most value out of refactoring. It’s not like you are not spending time refactoring already . . . right?
