I’m currently struggling with our startup’s CTO over this point. He is from BigMediaCorp and wants a way to account for our developer spend. Tracking story points is his method. Hopefully I can argue the points in this excellent article su

Clickbait and snark acting like substance. It seems the author’s main goal is to rope in broader issues with gender or ethnicity imbalance in the software industry and blame Agile, but I fail to see the connection. He doesn’t give any alter

Have them ask their doctor about the NNT of statins (number needed to treat). Statins reduce cholesterol, and boy do they do a good job. But what are the outcomes? Despite the hypothesis, Lowered cholesterol does not really reduce your chan
