		<description><![CDATA[OK, I&#8217;ve lost a five-metre scrum, my pack has been overrun, and the ref has raised his arm between the sticks for a penalty try.  My colleague Margy Thomas, with support of fellow rugger Billy Tilson, has convincingly argued that agile development in fact is very like rugby union. Margy cleverly fended my meager one-point case with <a href='http://robertlambert.net/2012/05/so-agilescrum-really-is-like-rugby/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What if you could double the efficiency of your software testing process, and substantially reduce errors found during the test, deployment, and maintenance phases, without purchasing any tool or method? The November 28 InformationWeek offers just that in a reprint of a recent Dr. Dobbs article on formal inspections by Capers Jones and Olivier Bonsignour.  <a href='http://robertlambert.net/2011/12/double-test-efficiency/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve never understood the obsession with “green” status among IT application development project managers, and the intense pressure put on them to “stay green” by the program management offices (PMOs) they report to. We would benefit from a cultural shift away from avoiding yellow status. For those not in the field, it is in vogue <a href='http://robertlambert.net/2011/10/project-managers-is-yellow-the-new-green/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

Mr. Geiger&#8217;s bottom line is exactly right: &#8220;Most of the time spent developing data models is consumed developing or clarifying the requirements and business rules <a href='http://robertlambert.net/2011/07/get-an-early-start-for-on-time-data-modeling/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently completed ScrumMaster training ably presented by Lyssa Adkins. Throughout the two-day class we appreciated Lyssa’s Zen-like, enabling, style. If her name is familiar, it’s because Ms. Adkins is the author of the book Coaching Agile Teams, one of the leading texts on the subject.

As a rugby union fan and former wing/fullback I&#8217;ve always thought the whole rugby analogy was wrong.
