Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to promote agility across all devel­opment orga­ni­za­tions, with a focus on those that use .NET, and to promote agility consultant Roy Dictus' consulting and speaking engagements.

This blog is owned and managed by Agility Consulting Group S.A., a small consulting orga­ni­zation located in Troisvierges, Luxembourg.

Levels

Most tech­nical posts are marked with a Level. This is an indi­cation of just how tech­nical the post is. The levels are based on Microsoft's standard levels for tech­nical presen­ta­tions and webcasts:

  • Level 100: Introductory and overview material. Assumes little or no expertise with topic and covers topic concepts, func­tions, features, and benefits.
  • Level 200: Intermediate material. Assumes 100-​​level knowledge and provides specific details about the topic.
  • Level 300: Advanced material. Assumes 200-​​level knowledge, in-​​depth under­standing of features in a real-​​world envi­ronment, and strong coding skills. Provides a detailed tech­nical overview of a subset of product/​technology features, covering archi­tecture, perfor­mance, migration, deployment, and development.
  • Level 400: Expert material. Assumes a deep level of tech­nical knowledge and expe­rience and a detailed, thorough under­standing of topic. Provides expert-​​to-​​expert inter­action and coverage of specialized topics.

Reviews

We are an inde­pendent orga­ni­zation. Any products that we review, such as software and books, are treated with the same honesty and candor. We are not spon­sored by any outside company.

We do accept mate­rials for review. This includes any mate­rials that promote agility in some way, including (but not limited to) (e-)books about agility, best prac­tices, and the like; software for team collab­o­ration, faster devel­opment, quality assurance, etc. We reserve the right not to review any mate­rials that we receive: our policy is that we will try to review any mate­rials that are relevant, but due to backlog, vacation, or any other reason, a review may take time or may not take place.

If you have any mate­rials that you want us to consider for review, please send an email to roy@agilitylux.com. We handle all corre­spon­dence discreetly and as promptly as possible.
