SPaMCAST 312 features our interview with Alex Neginsky. Alex is a real leader and practitioner in a real company that has really applied Agile. Alex shares pragmatic advice about to how practice Agile in the real world! Alex’s bio: Alex Neginsky began his career in the software industry at the age of 16 as a Software Engineer for Ultimate Software. He earned his Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Florida Atlantic University in 2006. By age 27, Alex obtained his first software patent. Alex has been at MTech, a division of Newmarket International, since 2011. As the Director of Development he brings 15 years of experience, technical skills, and management capabilities. Alex manages highly skilled software professionals across several teams stationed all over Eastern Europe and the United States. He serves as the liaison between MTech Development and the industry. During his tenure with the MTech division of Newmarket, Alex has been pivotal in the adoption of the complete software development lifecycle and has spearheaded the adoption of leading Agile Development Methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban. This has yielded higher velocity and better efficiencies throughout the organization. Contact Alex at If you have the right stuff and are interested in a joining Newmarket then check out: Call to action! What are the two books that have most influenced you career (business, technical or philosophical)? Send the titles to . What will we do with this list? We have two ideas. First, we will compile a list and publish it on the blog. Second, we will use the list to drive “Re-read” Saturday. Re-read Saturday is an exciting new feature we will begin in November. More on this new feature next week. So feel free to choose you platform and send an email, leave a message on the blog, Facebook or just tweet the list (use hashtag #SPaMCAST)! Next SPaMCAST 313 features our essay on developing an initial backlog. Developing an initial backlog is an important step to get projects going and moving in the right direction. If a project does not start well, it is hard for it to end well. We will provide techniques to help you begin well! Upcoming Events DCG Webinars: October 24, 2014 11:30 EDT Has the adoption of Agile techniques magically erased risk from software projects? Or, have we just changed how we recognize and manage risk? Or, more frighteningly, by changing the project environment through adopting Agile techniques, have we tricked ourselves into thinking that risk has been abolished? Upcoming Conferences: I will be presenting at the Conference October 21st and 22nd in Springfield, MA. More on all of these great events in the near future! I look forward to seeing all SPaMCAST readers and listeners that attend these great events! The Software Process and Measurement Cast has a sponsor. As many you know I do at least one webinar for the (ITMPI) every year. The ITMPI provides a great service to the IT profession. ITMPI’s mission is to pull together the expertise and educational efforts of the world’s leading IT thought leaders and to create a single online destination where IT practitioners and executives can meet all of their educational and professional development needs. The ITMPI offers a premium membership that gives members unlimited free access to 400 PDU accredited webinar recordings, and waives the PDU processing fees on all live and recorded webinars. The Software Process and Measurement Cast some support if you sign up .

Shameless Ad for my book! co-authored by Murali Chematuri and myself and published by J. Ross Publishing.
