I received my program for the Better Software Conference & Expo this coming June 9-12 in Las Vegas (alas, I will be unable to attend). The description for the keynote that will be given by Jean Tabaka caught my eye. Jean Tabaka is an Agile Coach from Rally Software Development and the author of Collaboration Explained: Facilitation Skills for Software Project Leaders). Her keynote is entitled "Attacking Waste in Software: Three Practices We Must Embrace Now" and the abstract is as follows: One of the seven principles of Lean Thinking is “eliminate waste.” Eliminating waste means minimizing the cost of the resources we use to deliver software to our stakeholders. Jean Tabaka proposes three pivotal practices that we must embrace to aggressively attack waste in software delivery —- Software as a Service (SaaS), Community, and Fast Feature Throughput: I can't help but think how these same "pivotal practices" apply equally well to Agile CM, resulting (presumably?) in Software CM as a Service (SCMaaS), Community, and Rapid Change-Flow (where the latter refers to both quickness and responsiveness of change assessment and approval, as well as to development velocity as the changes flow through codelines and become integrated, built, promoted and released).
