What is Technical Debt and How Do You Manage it?

What's Lost With a DevOps Team - Wide Awake Developers
Please understand, dear Reader, that I write this with positive intention. I'm not here to impugn any person or organization. I want to talk about some decisions and their natural consequences. These consequences seem negative to me and after reading this post you may agree. When an established company faced a technology innovation, they often create a new team to adopt and exploit that innovation.

Why Value Points? Using Agile to Optimize Value of Projects
I was asked recently for guidelines on "how to use value points in agile projects".  I was glad to get the question, since some people, like the blogger who writes "Agile 101," say stuff like: value points are "not appropriate or particularly necessary in all cases."  Gah!  The Agile 101 author actually goes on to do quite a nice job describing how to use value points, and I recommend you visit the blog, but I would like to explain why I don't think all of this is an optional nicety.
