		<description><![CDATA[On the 18th of May, 2010, the very new tumbler-glass project by Studio Pragmatists uploaded Tumbler 0.2.1 to Maven.  Having recently written about JBehave I found myself really liking the concept of behavior driven development.  So I decided to write a similar article about Tumbler. If you want the project code its available in my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to explore the possibility of using JBehave to formalise scrums definition of done. The idea being to encapsulate a definition of done as a JBehave scenario. So in true scrum style I decided to timebox 4 hours of work dedicated to JBehave. From a scrum point of view BDD can be used to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well perhaps not Nirvana then, but at least having a suitable level of test coverage.  I wanted to write an article around the uptake of test driven development. Scrum and agile are hard to do well. If you break these down, you often find that the components are pretty challenging too. TDD is difficult but [...]]]></description>

I have been reading it in the following context: Strive for technical excellence and Improving technical practices is not optional.

		<description><![CDATA[Project Management Offices serve no purpose in scrum. You are either a product owner, (not a manager), scrum master (not a manager either) or your in the team, (no technical leaders here either). How can an organisation migrate from central control to self directed scrum teams?  What are the challenges to our former project managers?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The scrum stand up meeting, is sometimes renamed to &#8220;the scrum&#8221;.  This is fine but remember you are supposed to stand up.  The reasoning behind this is it keeps the meeting short.  People do not become too comfortable.  The idea is very simple.  Quickly broadcast any information from the scrum master, then whizz around the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Probably one of the most common mistakes in Software Development is to allow Estimates to become Commitments.  This article looks at story point estimation in scrum, and how velocity is a better tool for monitoring progress through to delivery.  If your interested in the arguments that can be presented to the business for velocity metrics over estimation for setting delivery dates, read on. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you achieve more experience with the scrum process, you come to realise that there is very little if anything you can afford to leave out.  If your conducting scrum and considering leaving out a practice, its worth considering what is to be gained and lost.  So continuing with the <a title="Scrum and Agile posts" href="http://martinaharris.com/category/development/scrum-and-agile/" target="_blank">scrum and agile theme</a> this year I plan review some of the scrum practices highlighting the benefits and some of the errors that are made.  The first of these focuses on the Sprint Review and within that in particular the Software Demo.]]></description>

Its was an optimistically large number of tips given that the meeting is held in a pub.  Even so, we did produce 6 very good tips.  Read on to see what we came up with. ]]></description>
