Design Patterns in an Agile Environment (audio of the webinar)There is a myth that every iteration must be focused on customer value. Actually no customer value is delivered until the release. A webinar given on July 21, 2008 by Alan Shalloway relates an actual project using quality coding techniques and Lean principles to show that while releases should be based on customer value, individual stories should be based on a combination of customer value, risk mitigation and business value. The webinar is available to registered users of the Net Objectives website for 30 days and to Net Objectives customers always. However, you can still download: The audio track of the presentation as a podcastA (lower resolution) iPod Video that you can watch on your iPod or in iTunesThis webinar is close to an hour long, so the files are large.Attend other sessions in the Scrum# Webinar series.

Dear Subscribers: Be sure to check out the new America's Business vodcast at www.americasbusiness.org...The Manufacturing Extension Partnership program has helped small and medium-sized manufacturers stay competitive and create jobs for almost 20 years. Despite its benefits, MEP supporters often have to scramble to get federal funds. Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-MI), a guest on this week’s edition of “America’s Business with Mike Hambrick” radio program, explains how program supporters recently pushed to get the program funding. “We did it by having individuals with the MEP talk to people in their district, wherever it might be, whatever state it might be in,” he says. “And that drummed up a lot of support because those members of Congress living in those states did not want to lose out.” Higher energy prices are putting a financial pinch on manufacturers and made more Americans eager to embrace alternative energy sources. Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) will discuss his plan to extend tax credits that encourage development of alternative fuels such as solar and wind. High energy prices are also make shipping more expensive. CIBC World Markets Chief Economist Jeff Rubin will talk about his recent report on how energy costs affect global trade flow. Canada is one of our nation’s closest allies. Canadian Ambassador to the United States Michael Wilson will join Mike to discuss trade and other economic ties that bind the United States to its neighbor to the north. In our regular segments, Renee Giachino of American Justice Partnership gives us the latest on tort reform and commentator Hank Cox recalls “The Way It Was.” This week “America’s Business” is launching a new segment featuring NAM Executive Vice President Jay Timmons. Jay, who has been intimately involved in politics for years, will give us his take on 2008 political races that manufacturers should watch closely. And our program will close with “The Last Word” from the National Association of Manufacturers President Gov. John Engler will close the program with “The Last Word.” For more about “America’s Business with Mike Hambrick” and to listen to the program online, please click here.

David Kuo looks at how you can drive down your car costs.

On a this beautiful summer night I went to see the Obama Show when it came to Berlin. Initially I was reluctant thinking that it would be the usual political hoopla but on second thoughts I thought that this is one of those cities in the world that history is made in and wouldn t it be a shame if something was to happen and I was to miss it. Would he make a mark in the history books like Kennedy or Reagan or would there be a tragic event like Bobby Kennedy while he was running for election in 68? In the end neither event happened but instead it was simply a good night out in the summer air drinking beer for the people of Berlin and I don t think many people really cared about the Obama Show at all. What they did care about was being out and about as the people of Europe seem to do. Especially when they can appreciate how wonderful things are when the weather is good. And that is my point. I don t think many people would have turned up if it was a wet and cold day in January. As for the cheering crowd. Well no one back about 500m where I was were cheering so I think the usual rent a crowd were up the front getting all the attention. On the way home I looked around the old East Berlin that I was walking through and decided to give my thoughts on how wonderful and contradictary Berlin is with the starkly beautiful Eastern architectural style and the still developing commerce. As I say in the audio, Berlin it s like a run down share house of vibrant 20 year olds determined to make it work in any way they can. It s a young city in an old skin. Stunning.
