Software Process And Measurement Cast

I am still traveling for the next two weeks. The trip is a mixture of vacation and a board meeting but that does not mean you will have to forego your weekly SPaMCAST.  In place of our normal format, I am posting a mix tape of the answers to the “If you could change two things” question I have been asking interviewees for nearly ten years.  This week on SPaMCAST 392 we feature our top downloaded podcasts from the year 2009: SPaMCAST 51 - Tim Lister on Adrenaline Junkies and Template Zombies http://bit.ly/1WERtk5 Tim discussed ending the estimating charade.  Tim stated it would be better if we recognized estimating as goal setting. Secondly, he noted that a lot of outsourcing has overshot its mark and reduced our organizational capabilities. SPaMCAST 67 - Murali Chemuturi on Software Estimation Best Practices, Tools & Techniques http://bit.ly/1MHDzeJ Murali used his wishes to state that estimators need a better grasp and understanding the concepts of productivity and scheduling. SPaMCAST 69 - Kevin Brennan
