Summary: SPaMCAST opens with our essay, Don’t Shortcut Shu Ha Ri. Recently I have been thinking about just how rigorously practitioners need to follow processes, methods, and frameworks, and when it makes sense to tweak processes to fit the culture. Our second column will introduce a new column from Susan Parente titled, “I Am Not A Scrumdamentalist.” Our final column in the SPaMCAST 487 features the Software Sensi, Kim Pries. In this column, Kim talks about what works and does not work.
