Thank you for the review of my presentation! The slides for my ScrumMasters Considered Harmful talk are available from Agile Logic's web site at www.agilelogic.com. See the resources links at the bottom of the home page. No registration or anything required to get them. Sorry they didn't make it to the Agile 2009 site. As is often the case, they set a deadline for uploads that is well before the conference. For a new talk such as this, it's sometimes not feasible to lock down the presentation that early, and they for some reason don't allow uploads after their deadline (not sure why?). Best Regards, Paul Hodgetts Sorry for the very late follow-up (I just found your posting when searching around)…

Agree totally, every testing IDE/tool should implement this. iTest2 v1.6 will have allow users to customize the color of progress bar. Very considerate thought!

]]> Comment on Agile 2009 – Applying modern software development techniques to automating the web UI by Dawn Cannan http://devxero.wordpress.com/2009/08/28/agile-2009-applying-modern-software-development-techniques-to-automating-the-web-ui/#comment-35 Dawn Cannan Mon, 31 Aug 2009 14:28:33 +0000 http://devxero.wordpress.com/?p=120#comment-35 Mike- I **love** this idea, and would love to talk to you a little more about some of your smaller presentation ideas. I had a similar revelation during Bob Martin's Clean Code talk, that we should be applying these same ideas to test automation, and was planning on starting to put together talks along this same theme. I am happy to see that other people are already steps ahead of me, and would love to see how I can contribute to what you are doing, and hopefully compliment the talks that you guys have already planned out. Let's talk ... you have my info :) Mike-

]]> Comment on Should a sprint review be only positive??? by Kevin E. Schlabach http://devxero.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/should-a-sprint-review-be-only-positive/#comment-26 Kevin E. Schlabach Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:15:25 +0000 http://devxero.wordpress.com/?p=34#comment-26 If the discussion is about whether something is completed, yes. If the discussion is about new scope that wasn't originally part of the story, then maybe it should be covered in planning. The relationship with the Product Owner/customer is the key to figuring this out since it is more important to have a successful outcome. Down is an emotional feeling. A good facilitator/scrum master will help the team focus on the facts and the goal. Feelings are important, but the team must do what is best for the team and customer. Sometimes this means facing the realities that it could have been better. I will say that team dynamics play such a role in your questions that I worry about providing armchair medicine.
