		<title>Defect handling in an Agile approach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Software, as any complex product, will have defects. Plain and simple, no point in denying the facts. That said, the question is how can we handle them. First and foremost we should obviously strive to have as few as possible &#8230; <a href="http://www.ardonio.com/2011/11/27/defect-handling-in-an-agile-approach/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>The Prince-iples of Agile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about traditional project management methods. In part to understand why/where they fell short for software and what their use might be. Some elements in the agile community seem to feel very strongly that all &#8230; <a href="http://www.ardonio.com/2011/11/19/the-prince-iples-of-agile/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Retroflection &#8211; Why are you reporting to the Scrum Master in your stand-up?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Retroflection is a project started nearly 2 years ago by Yves Hanoulle. The idea is to (frequently) tweet something to think about, related to agile software development.

		<title>Lean Kanban 2011 impressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I attended the Lean Kanban 2011 conference earlier this week and aside from the great sessions, a couple of things really struck me. So rather than giving a content replica of sessions I attended, this is all about observations and &#8230; <a href="http://www.ardonio.com/2011/10/07/lean-kanban-2011-impressions/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Starban</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have always been fascinated by Starbucks and how they operate their stores. On a macro level they are very similar to McDonalds, Dunkin&#8217; Donuts and others of that breed, in the sense that their main focus is real estate. &#8230; <a href="http://www.ardonio.com/2011/04/25/starban/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
