The agenda was rich of interesting themes - http://www.agileday.it/front/programma-2011. I’ve made difficult choices (and I missed the keynote …):

• Is Software Evolution really Effective? - Francesco Cirillo - fcgarage.com
• Lean, A3 e Kaizen - Claudio Perrone - twitter.com/#!/agilesensei
• A soft skill suitcase - Fabio Armani –  open-ware.org
• UX e sviluppo agile - Renato Mancuso
• LEGO Agile prototyping - Alessandro Graps (I missed this last one because the train… but the abstract was promising) - nothingnessit.wordpress.com

All of the speaker were really effective and inspired me for my future personal development:

• www.antiifcampaign.com: improve the adoption of Object Oriented techniques removing bad, dangerous and not necessary IFs. This helps to keep code simple and clean and reduce the evolutionary cost of the system. Not all Agile teams keep this attention on code and the fact that the code, at the end of the project, will continue to evolve. If the code is well written the maintenance and evolution cost less than the code base, if the code is bad written (IF code) the evolution of the system will cost more than the project itself!
• How much the evolutionary software does it cost? Too much! Francesco Cirillo is collecting historical data and he is observing that the adoption of Agile techniques without keeping always the contact with the real world is increasing the cost of projects, especially in mature Agile teams. He advises to revisit eXtreme Programming techniques and to follow the Anti-IF campaign.
• A3 Thinking is a Lean technique used to implement Plan-Do-Check-Act.
• 5 Whys is a very effective way to do retrospective.
• Management on Agile enterprises don’t blame, are not friends (like a big family) and are not absent; they work actively to remove impediments serving agile teams.
• Lean is soft on people and hard on processes.
• Lean means make money through people development. Claudio Perrone said.
• UX (User eXperience) can be combined with an Agile approach. Renato Mancuso advises to run a Sprint #0 where the UI vision is described and shared. During the next sprints define UIs first, together with developers, and after implement them.
• Balsamiq is a good sketch tool that helps to create Mockups.
• To be a coach you have to study and practice a lot! Fabio Armani indicates several interesting books to read: The Kaizen Way, Growing Agile leaders, Thinker Toys, Getting Things Done, 7 Habits and more (I’ll check the Fabio’s presentation when it will be available).

All of these lesson learned in just 4 hours of conference! What a great day.

I’m participating to a group of study on Resilient Contracting with the aim of investigating the ways to manage a contract where the project is complex and cannot be planned upfront.

In the below slides I have presented how the Open Source community has addressed this problem moving from the contract game approach to a collaborative game where only the background rules are defined and the ethic and willingness of giving emerge.

During these years technology is evolved passing to Comet and now to WebSockets. In 2010 we tested WebSockets but aren’t not so well support as are now. Kaazing Company – http://www.kaazing.com – has proposed on the market a WebSocket gateway really interesting and easy to integrate.

We’ve tried the HTML5 edition modifying the Lego Mindstorms SVG page built on 2008, that monitors and controls lego, with the Kaazing WebSocket library and jQuery. In the video above two examples.

WebSockets are leveraging the messaging systems to the Web helping companies to move from desktop applications to more reliable and device independent web applications. These new kind of end user application can be used now also in the industrial world without compromise the user experience.

  Add server  api.cloudbox.net.intre.it clicking on su Manage Cloud e clicking Add.
• Create a new Eclipse Dynamic Web Project
  
  
  
  Right click on the Project -> Spring Tools -> Add Spring Project Nature
• Add the project to Cloud Foundry double click on Cloud Server in Tab Server.

1. Project Vision Analysis with a Idea Clustering Brainstorming
2. Product Feature expressed in User Stories
3. Estimation with Poker Game and Story point + Estimation with PERT Three-Point method + Estimation with Montecarlo Analysis
4. Project Budget, Release Plan and FTE calculation (this is not really Agile but help with the management communication)
5. Execution in sprint  (see the sketch): sprint planning part1 and part2, execute with lego, review meeting, retrospective meeting with 5why analysis (yes this is Scrum).
6. Every 5 minutes roll a dice and draw a risk/opportunity card. This card may influence the sprint or the product backlog.
7. At the closure: lesson learned, celebrate and project closure

Using Hibernate and JPA you cannot have two classes with the same name (on different packages) mapped. This raise an error at runtime:
Caused by: org.hibernate.DuplicateMappingException: duplicate import: MyClass refers to both com.intre.MyClass and com.dummy.MyClass (try using auto-import=”false”)

To solve this issue on the Entity annotation  of com.intre.MyClass and com.dummy.Class add the property name.

package com.intre;
@Entity(name = “com.intre.myclass”)
@Table(name = “MyClass”)
public class MyClass …

package com.dummy;
@Entity(name = “com.dummy.myclass”)
@Table(name = “MyClass”)
public class MyClass …
