    A Few Good Posts by Ed Gibbs

    I've been reading his blog for a while and it's time to point out some blog entries that I found interesting.

    • Coding Without A Net describing his reading "Agile Web Development With Rails" and practicing Rails programming. See also his other post on this book.
    • Gaming Testing Metrics. How collecting and tracking estimated fix times failed to make a change in a "death march" project.
    • Better Feedback Loops with One on Ones. Ed is a manager and has been doing one-on-one meetings with his direct reports every week. He was inspired to do this from podcasts and books like Behind Closed Doors and likes the results.
    • Story Points Estimating in which he talked about Scrum and estimating in Ideal Days or Story Points.
    • Not Playing With Scrum which describes how he (and his agile coach) will deal with a developer who hasn't bought into Scrum yet. (Not necessarily in the way you would expect.)
    • Our Agile Methodology: 6 Month Review. He summarizes the good and bad impacts of having adopted an agile method based on Scrum. This is a real-world experience report, so read it!
