The Agile PMO: Becoming a Real Time PMO

The Agile Manager

In the prior installments of this series, we presented a pattern for how PMOs can better bridge the gap between executive and executor: First, we discussed the need to define progress in terms of business needs met and not technical tasks performed, so that we measure in terms of results, not effort. Next, we showed how we can track and forecast progress in these same terms – e.g., by using burn-up charts – so that we have unambiguous line-of-sight into what a team is actually doing.

Objects as Actors ?

Ruminations of a Programmer

Tony Arcieri, creator of Reia, recently brought up an interesting topic on unifying actors and objects. Talking about Scala and his disliking towards Scala's implementation of actors as an additional entity on top of objects, he says, it would have been a more useful abstraction to model all objects as actors. Doing it that way would eschew many of the overlapping functions that both of the object and actor semantics have implemented today.

Most organizations are unaware of just how much open-source code is used and underestimate their dependency on it.
