When you refer to "actuals", I'd assume that you mean metrics of previously done features/stories. Otherwise, you might ;) know the actuals for a story only...
Whenever I refer to "not estimating", I'm suggesting to not estimate by looking at each story and saying how many days it will take or how many story points it...
Hi Raoul, I've been thinking about this and whether Takeuchi and Nonaka just got it wrong, but I think there is some truth here. I have found that when you are...
Maybe not a great quote - but the point is valid. One of the major influences on Toyota as they came up with Lean was a lack of physical space and capital...
Indeed - we don't capture feature estimates at all (we keep features small enough that even t-shirt sizing isn't necessary) but I do track cycle time. I don't...
Hi Dennis, Thanks for putting things in context. I'm still slightly uncomfortable with the idea of creating tension by setting really high goals. The New...

Benjamin Great post. As ever a pleasure to read. Could you give some more examples of common causes you have discovered and what you did to resolve them? Did...
Chris, Are you trying to bait me as a "Toolhead"? ;) We've fixed a lot of common cause variation on my team, and we didn't need "SPC technology". It's a ...

Benjamin, I agree with you - the thinking around variation and the two types is very useful but you don't need SPC technology to think that way. In my classes...
Benjamin This is brilliant. What I'm guessing from your email is that you do several assessments before deploying SPC. First, is this repeatable? Second, is...
As an aside, would the fact that a cause of variation repeats be an indicator it's a common cause? Regards Chris (Sent from my iphone.) On 3 May 2010, at...
