Don’t give up just ’cause you are old enough to retire, especially if you want to continue working but not at that full-time pace anymore.

Orthgonality, Software Engineering, Agilist
What Have I learned about Orthogonality, Software Engineering, and being an Agilist? Some possible Definitions:
Technique Enforced Process (Orthogonality)
An Event initiates a Process. The Process collects, manipulates and saves Data including a State setting. Each change in State (including from No State to a State) can be used as an Event. There are many external Events which occur and trigger their associated Processes within an automated application. As examples: Two Master Processes areContinue reading “Technique Enforced Process (Orthogonality)”
The Hybrid Work Model
I saw a survey for topics that a technical networking group might be interested in. This survey was taken on LinkedIn by a group that has approximately 2,000 members. One of the interesting results of this survey was that the topic of “HYBRID WORK MODEL” got ZERO responses while the three other topics received theContinue reading “The Hybrid Work Model”
The Chief
The Chief was the name we used when refering to our GrandFather: John Hiczwa.

Big Data, the Internet of Things, Business Intelligence and the current evolution in newer, faster, fresher data puts responsibility and opportunityContinue reading “With Great Data, comes Great Opportunity”

Testing Centric Life Cycle
Could there be such a thing as a Testing Centric Life Cycle? What would it have to look like to be Testing Centric? Wouldn’t we have to ask questions of each Deliverable to prove that it somehow supports what we believe our end goal to be? How would we construct these questions to ask ofContinue reading “Testing Centric Life Cycle”
Project in Trouble?
Despite all of our best efforts, some projects end up in trouble and they need to be ‘saved’ or ‘shut down’! Making the ‘shut down’ decision is very difficult but must be considered once a project that is in trouble is identified. Some of the questions I have used in the past to determine whetherContinue reading “Project in Trouble?”
