Plugins make the world go round - and as such we are very proud that slowly but surely the open source community is getting to work to deliver enhancements to Agilo.

This time Todd Jiang created a plugin for Agilo that allows you to get an estimate for how long working on tasks took the team.
This can of course be a nice way to feed that back into the team to improve their estimation skills.
So without further adoo, here's the plugin
Thanks so much Todd!

In the [last episode](http://agile42.com/cms/blog/2009/07/1/optimal-unittesting-environment/) I talked about the huge difference it makes to automate the execution of [unit tests](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_testing) on each file save.

This is all great and good - if you have the luxury to work with a language which can be reached from the shell.
Since we work with lots of JavaScript in the development of Agilo for Scrum, we have a problem. Of course there are tools like Narwhal that make it much easier to also run JS from the shell, but its not the same, and also it's very hard to debug javascript in there if ...

I want to tell you about the joys of automation today - the joy of having your test run just whenever you save one of your files.
I want to tell you about the joys of automation today - the joy of having your test run just whenever you save one of your files.
Because this is the thing - you cannot deliver high quality software with your Scrum implementation every month without having great engineering practices. If you don't have them, you can still deliver something every month and know exactly where you stand - but the quality will not be there. This is where practices like Unit Testing and Test Driven Development come in, as they are some of the best ways to improve quality that we ...

We get lots of questions on how to do a proper daily standup works. Well, that can't be said in one simple sentence.
There are some companies that practice transparency to a level that only a few do. Hashrocket for example (the tagline is: "No we are not a company that deals hash to junkies in outer space")
They regularly put up videos on Vimeo of how their own agile process works - and I really like them.
If you want to peek into their daily standups, take a look here and here.
Things I especially like about them:

Zwei Themen wieder - allerdings deutlich kompakter diesmal, daher gab es für mich nicht so viel zum mitschreiben.

How to push the Product Owner to use Business Value as a priority measure
- Wie macht man das der Kunde macht was er sollen tut?
- "Wir machen scrum - unsere Kunden nicht"
- Proxy?
- BusinessValue (BV) as a requirement.
- Customer, Marketting (Proxy), Product Owner (Proxy), Team
- Zu viele Level von Proxies
- Autorität? Kunden wollen immer was sie jetzt brauchen, oder was sie gestern brauchten.
- Wer macht die Vision? Strategic Stuff?
- Product Owner muss entscheiden können
- Den Kunden klar machen, dass es ihr Interesse ist BV ...

Ich habe beim letzten Scrumtisch einfach immer etwas mitgeschrieben was mich interessiert hat. Hauptsächlich Stichworte und Zitate. Natürlich bin ich gespannt auf Feedback - schließlich ist das nur was ich davon mitgenommen habe.

- Controlling von Scrum-Projekten
- Featureheft / Pflichtenheft
- Bisher hatten wir einen Prozess mit Anträgen um Änderungen zu minimieren.
- Jetzt gibt es so viele Änderungen
- "Der Erfolg gibt ihm Recht"
- Geschäftsführung spricht dauernd dazwischen
- Nein, war doch der Product-Owner
- Zerlegung in kleine Plan-Teile lässt sehen wo man falsch geplant hat und erlaubt korrekturen
- Aber man verliert leicht den Überblick über das Projektziel
- Problem Kontrollverlust
- Produktives Team ...
