		<title>Simple Planning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is necessary when you need to plan the next sprint/iteration ? The picture above is the result of a chat with Lasse in my current project, and it was enough to set the expectations for the two weeks of work we had to plan.

		<title>What&#8217;s the Tech Lead Doing Anyway ?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some days ago when having a discussion at work about the responsibility of the tech lead in an agile team, I&#8217;ve realized that this is not a so simple subject as I thought it was. Therefore, good subject for a post : ) But before being dictatorial and just writing my opinion, I ran a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Systemic Thinking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some days ago I read this article about how the credit crunch was explained to the Queen by a &#8220;group of eminent economics&#8221; (whatever that means). The interesting part in my opinion is this paragraph, which was contained in the letter sent to the Queen: &#8220;Everyone seemed to be doing their own job properly on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Empower</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Peer pressure enlists loyalty in ways that bureaucracy doesn&#8217;t. John Mackey, CEO and co-founder, Whole Foods This quote is true in so many different levels, but still quite ignored by the standard way of management. The normal company, instead of making a good use of peer pressure, label it as a bad thing, and believe [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dev Complete? No!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently we&#8217;ve had a discussion in a project I was working on about the concepts behind dev complete and qa complete stories, which are normally in a lot of agile wall&#8217;s swim lanes, and how they affect the project&#8217;s flow.

		<title>What is Your Goal?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the best things about Agile is the introduction of software development as a system. Software stopped being treated as a sequence of separated steps to be seen as people with different competences working together to achieve one goal: deliver software. This is not new in any sense, and it was exemplified by Deming [...]]]></description>
