Test Driven Development in Real Life

Content Migration Strategy: A Tale of Two Websites
When designing and building a website, too often companies deprioritize content. So it's no surprise that a top reason why site launches are delayed is because content is not ready.
What does it look like for content to go from an afterthought to a requirement? And, what happens during a website migration when developers, desginers, and content strategists collaborate effectively?
Scaling Community Decision-making
Any libre software, volunteer, or even startup project will have elements of do-ocracy (rule of those who do the work) but not all decisions should devolve to implementors. Rather, a basic principle is that decisions should be made by the people who are most affected.
Iterative UX: Find It Cambridge Case Study
A handful of visionary people in the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts wanted an online resource to help families easily find activities, services, and resources.

Continuous Collaboration in LAMP Applications with Probo.CI
Probo.CI is an open source, quality assurance and user acceptance testing SaaS tool created by Zivtech. Probo allows the development process to continue while stakeholders, product owners, and QA teams review changes in real-time, allowing “Continuous Collaboration” on Drupal development projects. Probo’s system prevents blocks for developers, site builders, and themers with isolated testing environments, called Probo builds.
The Boring Middle Part
A lot of people think that in agile, we plan work just in time, that we wait until just before a sprint to do our planning. That's true but what's also true, and often ignored, is the part where you architect strategy ahead of time, getting agreement on high level what, why and how before sending work to developers.

Embracing the Lean/Agile Mindset

Lean & Visual Metrics
Lean & Visual Metrics
by Tom Stone of Cerner
Tom Stone will discuss his dissertation at Temple’s Fox School of Business on the impact on software development productivity of both training and coaching as well as the use of "lean" metrics in conjunction with team meetings. Lean metrics are visual, easily understood, accessible, timely and actionable. Scrum managers were instructed on how to use these metrics in team meeting prior to dissemination.
Scaling the Agile Transition Wall
It is said that Scrum is easy to understand but difficult to master, so you can assume scaling Scrum, or any kind of Agile framework, is that much harder. Many organizations research scaling models, study them, and eventually decide on how one of them will put them on a path toward creating an Agile enterprise.
