Scrum@GigaSpaces Slides
December 10th, 2008Here is the presentation I gave yesterday on the Israeli Scrum Conference. Enjoy:
Freeze? Innovate!
December 5th, 2008I would like to refer you to a great white paper produced by my collegue Nati Shalom. The name of the white paper is: "Survival Guide for IT During the Economic Meltdown". It is an amazing analysis of the paralysis organizations face these days, and the prescription to get out of this condition. We’ve got some great responses the white paper, and I believe you’ll benefit from reading it.
A comment that made my day
December 5th, 2008I guess will all product people know what is it to work in the trenches, releases, bug fixes, taking care of customers. Not all is glory.
Yesterday, I got this feedback from a prospect:
<quote>I have looked at many purported “Cloud” software solutions and yours is by far the most impressive I have ever seen. The level of the .Net technology used is, to sum it up in one word “incredible”, it is impressive to see a company pushing the .net platform to the limit.</quote>
Really made my day!
Conference Season in Israel
December 3rd, 2008There is something going on in the air of Tel Aviv. I guess it is innovation. Great technical talents from all over are meeting to exchange ideas. Luckily for me, these are the areas I care most about: distributed computing and agile software development.
Yesterday the official part of the first cloud conference organized by the IGT was
finished. Excellent people from all around the world flew in for sunny
Israel in December to discuss the future of cloud technologies. It was all been recorded, so I guess soon enough all the information will be published.
Today, I’m going to present at the Amazon EC2 event in Tel Aviv. We’ve been doing some work with EC2 for a while, and some cool ideas come to mind when you think about the opportunities of cloud computing and GigaSpaces XAP.
Next week I’m going to present in the first Israeli Scrum conference. Some very big names are going to present as well, people like Ken Schwaber and Scott Ambler. Ken, is one of the founders of Scrum and Scott has some very practical ideas about agile architecture. Highly recommended. I’m going to talk about my experience in adopting scrum within GigaSpaces.
If you happen to attend one of these events, please stop by and say hello.
