Summary: SPaMCAST 501 features our essay on Agile Metrics. Progress is easy to visualize when we use the yardstick of calendar time. Cycle time metrics are ways to generate answers to ‘how long’ questions in a manner that is valuable and predictable. Our second column features Jeremy Berriault. In the QA Corner, Jeremy and I discussed the idea of self-reliance rather than using third-party testing organizations. Anchoring the cast is Susan Parente. Susan discusses certification.
