Sorry, today we will be brief as we had lots of sessions today and are all tired … chrrrzzzzz …

Pictures of the day

… blue sky in Seattle?!?

Discussions of the day

• VM Factory futures … we need your candid feedback on today’s factory and vNext.
• Scrum/Ruck was a really interactive chat … send us your candid feedback on Ruck and in particular your thoughts on:
  • Shorter ALM Ranger project cycles 3-4 months
  • Less Epics per cycle (<5)
  • Smaller teams (<= 5)
  • Ship early and often
    

Important Note

When we demonstrated the ALM Rangers TFS Preview environment we used Branching Guide as an example of a monster backlog. What was not mentioned is that Micheal inherited the project with a ginormous backlog (1) , spent many hours triaging, cleaning up the backlog and fine tuning and driving a (2) fire drill team with a refined backlog.

What Micheal has achieved as an emergency stand-in team lead and contributor of the Branching and Merging Guide, whilst being swamped in his real day-job and trying to enjoy some family time, is a phenomenal Rangers miracle!

Who is Micheal? Not the drop-bear on the left :)
