"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Chris Sims e Hillary Louise Johnson – The Elements of Scrum

Settimana scorsa vi ho consigliato un’introduzione allo Scrum, ma se state cercando qualcosa che illustri il suo funzionamento in modo più vivace di una semplice guida, ho un altro consiglio per voi.

Chris Sims e Hillary Louise Johnson,
The Elements of Scrum
Dymaxicon

Si tratta di un libro leggermente più corposo ma persino più scorrevole del precedente, all’interno del quale Chris Sims sfrutta al massimo le capacità di storytelling della sua co-autrice e insieme ci guidano attraverso uno scenario di applicazione pratica dello Scrum, per illustrarci i principi, i metodi e le insidie che nasconde.

The Elements of Scrum opens with a blow-by-blow description of a week in the life of a scrum team, then briefly details the history and origins of scrum, comparing it to traditional methodologies and providing context for how scrum applies to the cultural history of the software industry.

Una risorsa fondamentale per il BIM Coordinator che voglia trovare modi diversi e migliori per gestire il lavoro.

Isaac Asimov’s Gold (and other stories)

It’s unfortunate that I’m coming to this after the very unsatisfactory collection of “fantasy” stories (Asimov never wrote fantasy: he wrote satire), because this was another disappointment. The book is half short stories and half non-fiction, for random reasons, and the non-fiction half is random writings
