We have a large backlog of things we should do in our software, in a lot of different categories, for example: New problem areas for our products to solve New functionality supporting existing problem areas New functionality requested by our existing users Usability and "look" enhancements Architectural upgrades to the back-end Bug fi...
I'm looking for a low-key tool to handle a simple ranked task list (aka backlog in the agile lingo). This will be used by several users, and will most likely change frequently. We already have a bug tracking system, but it's a bit too complex and heavyweight for the kind of casual, day-to-day planning we'll be doing. Really, what we ne...
Should technical items such as "Upgrade sever from v1 to v2" or "Increase startup performance" or "Refactor login module to reduce code complexity" go in to the product backlog and if so how should a non technical product owner be able to prioritize them v.s other more functional backlog items? Should there be a separate backlog for tec...
While trying to apply agile principles to our development process, in particular scrum principles and XP-like user stories, we faced a problem about the architecture.

Scrum doubters are saying that this process is taking too long and development time is being wasted. My question is how long should it take to size a user story on aver...
It seems that there is an upper limit of ~200 for the backlog queue on Windows ports. Is it true? And if so, can i change the limit? I'm doing ServerSocket.accept(backlog) on a Windows XP Professional. Should i move to Windows Server? ...
Hi, When using a Socket class one is establishing a TCP connection to a server on some port, but on the server the ServerSocket is capable of handling multiple client connections for each accept request and delegate it to a thread to server the request. But how is it possible for a ServerSocket class to accept multiple tcp connections on...
I recently interviewed with a company which has started introducing Scrum for their development cycles. I asked one of the developers how their experience has been, and it sounds like they are completely divested from the planning process. He wasn't allowed any input as to what went into a given Sprint, and didn't participate in any pl...
