Why you want that ? How this accomplishes that ? These 3 questions surface fluffy stuff for direct discussion.   Something 2010-02-09T23:38:56+00:00 http://www.clutterfreecoding.com/site/creativity/ http://www.clutterfreecoding.com/site/creativity/#When:22:03:42Z XP says that these values are important: Communication, Simplicity, Feedback, Courage, Respect, Rules of Engagement. Sometimes I envision stuff and after fully understanding it I realize how over complicated my initial expectations were. Have you experienced that sometimes ? Did these wild things end up simpler at the end? How can one avoid over complications ? Are there people who are less mature but can be creative? Children for example? Maybe them? Maybe you sometime ago? Do you remember when you were a child and how creative you were? There is a quote about children: “Democracy cannot survive without the guidance of a creative minority.” -Harlan Stone Nothing 2010-01-25T22:03:42+00:00 http://www.clutterfreecoding.com/site/information_vs._understanding/ http://www.clutterfreecoding.com/site/information_vs._understanding/#When:21:58:23Z Information. We are living in an Information Age. There is a lot of data that we eat every day. Social Networks, TV, PlayStations, Radio, more medias. What would be the next Age ? Understanding Age?

In business one can setup relationship to take out human factor out. “Programming is a mapping of Theory1 to Theory2”. Theory1 is product theory, Theory2 is programmer’s Theory. “SCRUM Framework is for surfacing problems”. No surprises during project development. “SCRUM Master is Oil and Glue”.  You need someone who is running around programmers, marketing and other stakeholders, resolves issues, connects, translates that with this and brings it back to engineers. So programmers keep coding useful stuff and stay clear when doing it.       Nothing, Everything 2010-01-25T21:42:02+00:00 http://www.clutterfreecoding.com/site/gravity/ http://www.clutterfreecoding.com/site/gravity/#When:21:39:26Z I picked up this comparison from Alistair. He says that he trusts Gravity. There are physical rules that happen in software projects. When these rules of Gravity are not respected, then projects fall.

If you want to learn to be more effective learn it from Alistair.

Maybe the hard work that you just did was a smart work. So you are achieving at maximum capabilities. You should feel good then. Feeling good is important. When you feel good you can work even harder, longer and smarter. But how would you know if you can do things more efficiently, faster and simpler ?

Depending from organization of the mind map, 2 people can have 2 different contexts even with same original data.                 hidden Something 2010-01-14T19:35:00+00:00 http://www.clutterfreecoding.com/site/stretching/ http://www.clutterfreecoding.com/site/stretching/#When:22:30:45Z Communication is NOT what you do. Communication is what the other person understood. You want to stretch yourself to connect with the other person.   If Software groups would stretch themselves to connect with Marketing groups, then better requirements can get squeezed out. And vice versa, Marketing can stretch to Software to ensure that product is understood as communicated. During stretching interesting things can happen at different places at different times.

You fix problems and look again for problems. You find new problems, and fix them also. See more for diligence. Nothing, Everything 2010-01-12T21:19:05+00:00
