No, I haven't crossed over to the Dark Side just yet, but I have found myself in the disturbing situation where progress isn’t needed or wanted. I am now in probably the second or third round of Stan Vs Windows 8. It’s not a top billing event, but one that has left me rather disappointed.
I got a fabulous new laptop which has technology improvements everywhere. Battery life is superb with a system to protect if for 5 years. Great processor, good storage capacity, nice display and a very nice keyboard. All around I am very pleased with the hardware.

Selling the Cost of Change
06 JUN 2012 | Posted in agile planning, change, contingency | Author Stan WadeSo we all agree that projects should expect a significant amount of change. Agile projects are geared to deal with change in an inexpensive way. That’s all great but there still needs to be a mechanism in play to pay for the change, inexpensive or not. That’s simple you say, that’s just contingency. Well it is, but if we use the word contingency then to some ears we are saying ‘just in case money’. But we have already agreed that change is inevitable, so it’s certainly not just in case, it’s going to be needed.

Rational or emotional

Talking with my colleagues we realised that for some of us the thought of writing a blog is exciting and an opportunity to share views with a wider audience but for others the thought was quite daunting.

Traditional contracts are doomed
10 DEC 2010 | Posted in agile adoption, agile governance, change, change management, contracts, Government, IndigoBlue Second Wednesdays, lean | Author John Wright | 9 Comments
I've been thinking for some time now that traditional "Supply of Goods" contracts make building a collaborative client/supplier relationship tough. The nature of the contract is to fix the requirements up front, agree delivery milestones and try to focus the team on delivering what has been defined up front.
