Still alive

Well I'm not dead as one might think (or hope), not yet at least. It isn't that easy to kill the beast. I haven't been posting anything lately because I've been away for a while (eg. at ENASE'06: Advocatus Diaboli Walk Through eXtreme Programming), furthermore there is a lot of integration work going on in the project now as a pilot deployment is being set up, so things are going well and forward. At least a few of us think so ;).

Next few months I will probably start a new project from the beginning for one of our old customers. We'll try the agile way of course, so you'll again be able to track what's going on. Next Tuesday we're having a planning game to see how big the picture is and to be able to formulate a legal agreement based on that.

About the current project I'll just say that now I'm devoting most of my time to one of it's components. My initial mission was to ensure that it will make the launch date and not explode. Now that this is secured I'm looking for ways to improve this components architecture, mainly the low-level (code style, object reuse, etc) architecture. There are two well skilled people working on that project, so the work is going quite well.

See you soon.
