The interview in SPaMCAST 66 is with Chuck Tryon. We
discussed knowledge management. Chuck provides solid advice
on knowledge management while explain why not dealing with
knowledge management is a burning platform you should not
ignore. Frankly this one of the most important interviews
SPaMCAST has recorded.
Chuck Tryon is a nationally respected educator and popular
symposium speaker. He founded Tryon and Associates in 1986 to
provide seminar training and consulting that helps organizations
and individuals develop predictable and repeatable approaches to
modern project management, knowledge management and business
requirements. The strategies presented in Mr. Tryon’s
seminars are used by thousands of professionals in hundreds of
organizations across the United States, Europe and Canada.
His client list includes many top 100 companies.
Chuck and his wife, Tresa, reside in the Tulsa, Oklahoma
area. They have two grown daughters, Amanda and Casey.
When not teaching, writing or attending classes at OU, Chuck tries
to find time for his favorite things in life, spoiling
grandchildren, playing golf and SCUBA diving … but not usually at
the same time.

The essay on SPaMCAST 66 is part 1 of my essay titled
"Traceability: A Radical Approach Based on User Involvement".
‘Model based software process improvement’ and ‘process discipline’
are phrases that can chill the blood of most software engineers
even when uttered forty feet away. Applied incorrectly the
perceived trappings of process discipline are viewed as overhead
which gets in the way of ‘real work’. The processes that are
perceived to be the most offensive to developers are those
concentrated on controlling their behavior or providing oversight
of their work. When the CMMI® is interjected into the process
landscape, traceability becomes one of the lightening rods
typically identified in the overhead discussion. So, avoid
the lightening rod, right? Check out the podcast and blog for
the rest!

ITMPI webinar
Process Improvement in a Multi-Model World
September 15, 2009
11:00 am - 12:30 pm Eastern Time
Model based process improvement typically has centered on a single
model or framework as the lynch pin to control software process
improvement within an organization. The use of a model or framework
is an excellent means of reducing random activity unfortunately one
model does not cover the whole organization. Process improvement
has matured to a point where the span of control needs to be
extended which suggests the use of more than one model (e.g. CMMI,
ISO, ITIL and Business Process Re-engineering to name a few). This
webinar with Tom Cagley will discuss how to manage process
improvement in a complex, multi-model environment.

ISMA 4 Conference
Boundaries, Boundaries Everywhere

Identifying applications and project boundaries are critical to
accurate and repeatable counts however the rules have a lot of
flexibility. The presentation will evaluate a variety of types of
applications to evaluate the impact of varied perspectives on
application boundaries. The presentation will include at least one
hands-on exercise to drive home the impact of boundaries
The ISMA conference will be held this September 13-16, 2009 at the
