SPaMCAST 513 - Reciprocity and Passengers, Self-directed Teams, Hard Deadlines, Essays and Discussions

Summary: SPaMCAST 513 features a second essay on reciprocity. One of the hardest lessons I have had to learn is that some people on a team are passengers and others play different, more involved, roles. We also have columns from Susan Parente (I Am Not a Scrumdamentalist) and Jeremy Berriault (QA Corner). Susan provides a spirited discussion of self-directed teams in agile. Jeremy discusses one of thorniest facts of life for a tester -- hard deadlines.
