Creativity and collaboration help product development teams build better products. Group based games develop creativity and collaboration. This means the right games can help develop better product. This is the basic premise that agile game conferences like agile games 2013   which I attended last week.   During this conference developers there many different :games” played among participants, which were anyone from scrum masters to developers to architects, etc. I attended a session where we collaborated using legos to discuss how a...

I just read a really interesting post by Paul Brody, IBM Global Leader for Electronics Industry, where he discusses how 3D-prininting is more than a manufacturing technology, it is a software-enabled ecosystem.  We are already seeing 3D-printing in production in medical devices like prosthetic and dental implants. This is helping improve living standards, and can perhaps even prolong life. I wonder how performance improvements and new software innovations for such technologies will impact the cost of production and product and application... [More]

Organizations today are increasingly recognizing the benefits of using agile development to allow developers to build products faster. While most large corporations see definite advantages in using the agile approach, organizations are lost when it comes to managing the different metrics across projects. Many organizations continue to use traditional project metrics and struggle to map these to the agile metrics. With agile development becoming mainstream there is an increasing need for an automated metric gathering approach that would relieve... [More]
