			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We announced today at the Agile Alliance’s Agile 2010 conference that Valtech is a founding sponsor of the International Consortium for Agile (<a href="http://www.icagile.com/">ICAgile</a>). ICAgile is the world’s first skills-based agile certification body focused on promoting specific agile learning objectives.  </p>
<p>In contrast to pure people processes like SCRUM, ICAgile certification puts some emphasis on actual practices (Design, PM, Coaching, Analysis, Testing) within an agile project or product development, leaving the guesswork of &#8220;how to turn Agile into reality&#8221; behind.</p>
<p>ICAgile is currently in &#8220;soft launch&#8221; mode &#8211; full on launch with full operational schedule in place is expected at the end of this year</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I just came across this post  Gradle: why? where JBoss project lead Steve Ebersole explains why Hibernate is being moved from Maven to Gradle as build management tool.
Interesting read, I can actually relate to the the multi-module arguments and I am also fond of Gradle&#8217;s approach &#8220;Configuration is code&#8221;. Hmm. Is it ready yet?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a little tool I wrote while reviewing a client&#8217;s fairly complex project:</p>
<p>Pom Grapher generates a graph from  multi-module and parent-child relationships of Maven projects (POMs).</p>
<p>My use-case was to understand the POMs relations in order to understand the build.<br />
It produces a graphic representation of the modules (nodes) and parent project and sub-module relations (edges) using GraphViz.<br />
Here is a (tiny) excerpt from Apache Geronimo:<br />
<img src="http://blogs.valtech.com/ino/files/2010/06/Bildschirmfoto-2010-06-17-um-14.26.24.png" alt="" /><br />
<strong>black</strong> edges indicate module relation, <strong><span style="color: #ff6600">orange</span></strong> edges indicate parent project relations.</p>
<p>This is intended for understanding POM structures, not artifact dependencies.</p>
<p>It can be found over at <a href="https://source.valtech.com/display/PG/Pom+Grapher">source.valtech.com</a>.</p>

Manchmal möchte ich auch einen Blick auf meinen Kalender werfen und habe gerade mein Handy nicht zur Hand. Oder ich möchte ein bestimmtes Prozessbildchen dabei haben, weil immer wieder darauf zurückgegriffen wird. Oder ich möchte einen Blick auf meine Tasks werfen. Oder &#8230;<br />Die Lösung lautet: <a href="http://www.pocketmod.com/" target="_blank">PocketMod</a>. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein Tool, mit dem man mehrere Seiten (maximal acht) so auf ein DIN A4 Blatt verteilt, dass man durch geschicktes Falten (und einen kleinen Schnitt) ein kleines Büchlein erhält.<br />Für die Mac-User gibt es ein entsprechendes Stück Software mit Namen <a href="http://weblog.bignerdranch.com/?p=23" target="_blank">PagePacker</a>.</p>
