A starting point for a discussion on marrying Agile methods and CMMI.

Moving week…


Not much work getting done this week on account of our moving cities. Sounds more dramatic than it really is… at least in terms of the actual distance of the move. For some folks, not familiar with the US’s East Coast “megalopolis” that runs from Boston to Richmod, VA (some say it doesn’t go farther south than Washington, DC), it may sound odd to say we’re “moving cities” when we’re really only about 37 miles (59km) from our previous home. Practically speaking, we could have moved the same distance in almost any other direction of the compass and we would have still been in the Washington, DC suburbs. In any case, we’ve moved from the suburbs of DC to the suburbs of Baltimore (Maryland) for many reasons, though dominated by the proximity of our new home to family.

So here we are, amidst a floatilla of boxes, trying to find our stuff. Thanks to the less-than-spritely response time of the ‘big iron’ dominant phone power of the region, my voice/data lines don’t get installed until the 30th… Right now I’m ‘borrowing’ bandwidth from a neighbor’s entirely unsecured wireless access point. ;^>

I might write about the ordeal of moving, or the games being played by the he-was-being-such-a-jerk-it-was-all-I-could-do-to-not-hit-him buyer’s real estate agent on the day of moving/closing/settling…. maybe I’ll write something about a funny exchange between my mom and me about our differences in how we value planning vs. priorities vs. rework… but what I hope to do is to find an Agile CMMI thread to this week’s events and write about them.

Someday.

I would probably need to find the humor in all the week’s stress before that happens.

Stay tuned.

My professional passion is to build high performance organizations out of companies motivated to be lean, agile, and achieve world-class results. My best clients are companies who have the courage, leadership, insight, foresight and discipline to be the best places to work, the best value to their customers and the best performing for their shareholders. I take a tough love approach and, frankly, have little patience for executives who *want* these things but expect to achieve them without putting in any effort or making any changes.
