Though the article is dated Jan/Feb 2012, the photos trigger a faint memory, so it may be that Paul's photos are the ones I mention in the last paragraph.James Lyndsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040265095413500219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25295943.post-68303946251441632242011-12-23T00:00:08.342+00:002011-12-23T00:00:08.342+00:00Marcus, Rikard - thank you for your perspectives. ...Marcus, Rikard - thank you for your perspectives. <br /><br />I rather like very short sessions of 10 minutes or less for special stuff, but it's an acquired taste and a learnt technique. For mucking about wiht sticky notes on a board, I'd want longer, and a pomodoro sounds like a lower limit to me. Thanks for introducing me to the Time Timer.<br /><br />RIkard - we share an instinct, but I want to try Kanban out as a way to let the group see its decisions and flow, not simply to schedule activity.<br /><br />Both - I've linked to your relevant blog posts below:<br /><br />Marcus' blog <a href="http://www.shino.de/2011/07/02/pomodoro-testing/" rel="nofollow">on Pomodoro / Kanban</a>, and Rikard's blog posting <a href="http://thetesteye.com/blog/2010/05/did-beatles-use-kanban/" rel="nofollow"><i>Did Beatles use Kanban?</i></a>James Lyndsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040265095413500219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25295943.post-86297403071109611112011-12-21T20:34:57.888+00:002011-12-21T20:34:57.888+00:00I have never tried Kanban, but my instinct says it...I have never tried Kanban, but my instinct says it is a bad fit for software testing.<br />Kanban seems to stimulate "let's get this over with" thinking, and often that is not wise for testing.<br />We often have to do things that make us get further from being done.<br />My fear is that Kanban to manage software testing will give a more shallow, less serendipity-induced, testing effort.<br /><br />Kanban has been mentioned at SWET peer conferences; some have used it with good results, and some don't like it at all.<br />My question is: Did Beatles use Kanban?Rikard Edgrenhttp://thetesteye.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25295943.post-63752233974382289782011-12-21T17:48:40.319+00:002011-12-21T17:48:40.319+00:00My pomodoro testing approach goes into the directi...My pomodoro testing approach goes into the direction of combining the pomodoro technique, Kanban and extremely short sessions wih each other. It's not necessarily an implementation of using a Kanban or Personal Kanban board for ET, but maybe a bit fur ther down that path.
