SPaMCAST 302- Larry Maccherone, Measuring Agile

Software Process and Measurement Cast number 302 features our interview with Larry Maccherone of Rally Software. We talked about Agile and metrics.  Measuring and challenging the folklore of Agile is a powerful tool for change!  Measurement and Agile in the same sentence really is not an oxymoron.


Larry’s Bio:


Larry is an industry recognized Agile speaker and thought leader. He is Rally Software's Director of Analytics and Research. Before coming to Rally Software, Larry worked at Carnegie Mellon with the Software Engineering Institute for seven years conducting research on software engineering metrics with a particular focus on reintroducing quantitative insight back into the agile world. He now leads a team at Rally using big data techniques to draw interesting insights and Agile performance metrics, and provide products that allow Rally customers to make better decisions. Larry is an accomplished author and speaker, presenting at major conferences for the lean and agile markets over the last several years, including the most highly rated talk at Agile 2013. He just gave two talks on the latest research at Agile 2014.

Software Process and Measurement Cast number 303 will feature our essay on estimation.  Estimation is a hot bed of controversy. But perhaps first we should synchronize on just what we think the word means.  Once we have a common vocabulary we can commence with the fisticuffs. In SPaMCAST 303 we will not shy away from a hard discussion.
