- Glen Alleman lays out some examples of non-software applications of Agile Development techniques.
- Is delivering on time a synonym for success? Jason Gorman feels otherwise.

- Do you have a sticky buddy? David Anderson things you should.
- All of us are smarter than any of us. Mike Griffith provides the do’s and dont’s of team problem solving.
- Dave Churchville suggests ways to be agile in a distributed development environment. Maybe he needs a sticky buddy.
- Ten New Rules for Project Managers – but I bet they won’t all seem new to you!

- Alan Shalloway is contemplating Why Scrum Works.
New Submitters:
