		<description><![CDATA[I sometimes wonder about whether large companies can be agile. When I think about how a company grows organically, one of the first things that seems reasonable is that as you add more testers, for example, you hire a testing manager, and they have their own group.  The same applies to database administrators, business analysts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Something has been bothering me about the way I see many teams handle retrospectives. To be fair, it&#8217;s really several things. These common mistakes do more than make a retrospective less effective, they destroy any ability to achieve the purposes of a retrospective.When I first start to talk to people about the purpose of retrospectives, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I consider myself fairly pragmatic when it comes to agility in software development, or at least I used to&#8230; I&#8217;m having second thoughts.  As long as I&#8217;ve been around agile development (it&#8217;s been, what 6 or 7 years&#8230;) I&#8217;ve been exposed to what some people call Agilistas.  You probably recognize what I mean if you&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my employees recently said something to the effect of &#8220;I think people underestimate the role that luck plays on development projects.&#8221; I think he&#8217;s right, but it&#8217;s a difficult topic to nail down. I&#8217;ll give it a try, though. When we set out to build software, there&#8217;s usually a lot of unknowns, because [...]]]></description>

One of the side effects has been some angst on my part on exactly what needs testing&#8230;It&#8217;s pretty straightforward if you have a coding standard (like my current client) that says [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like the Spring Framework for Java development. It let&#8217;s me do all kinds of neat things like interceptors, but fundamentally, at it&#8217;s core it lets me break stuff apart to test it in chunks, while still having support for wiring it together to build a complete application. Spring is all about dependency injection, so [...]]]></description>
