PROBLEM SOLVING PROBLEMS SEE

That's very nice to see the problems . That said, the aim is to solve the !

Then, those problems identified and visible to everyone, are they treated?

1. REMINDER

Remember : the team realizes that to learn, grow and become more effective, it must systematically solve the problems it faces .
So

• is developed systematic detection of problems;
• it shows the problems for making visible ;
• it solves problems in a structured .

This attitude and approach are described in a preceding note .

2. Is it practical É ?

To ensure that these fine principles became practices, we 's show an indicator showing the number of solved problems (lower bars) and the number of unresolved problems ( the top of the bars) . This indicator is updated every iteration (see photo above) .

3. IS IT EFFECTIVE?

It's fine to put in place new practices - does it still there is a return on investment ... And there you have recognize that it is difficult to measure the impact of systematic problem-solving.

Difficult is not impossible: burndown chart- curve and non-quality show gains in productivity and quality of this approach.
particular, the curve non-quality revealed severe reductions in non-quality corresponding to sites set up in response to a problem raised. Then, the ranges after a fall of this curve shows that the remedial action "punch" was effectively transformed into continuous practice. Since
burndown chart- does not suffer from an increase or a stagnation of the "remaining to be done" is that the resolution of the problem has contributed positively to development.

4. SIDE EFFECT

We noticed another beneficial side effect of this approach. This is a very large increase standardization.
Indeed, solving a problem usually results in:

• a measure against automated ( scripted build in in the commit, ...) ;
• a cons manual measurement described by a small textual procedure;
• improve an existing process.

Thus, we found that our wiki has enriched many small pragmatic procedures. This is the formalization of the best ways to make this point for this project. This is a standard lightweight, scalable, shared by team members.

I thought that standardization was a formal step, heavy and slow down evolution. I am now convinced otherwise.

Catchy Im Back Phrase

"Out of sight, out of heart." A problem that is not visible is not treated .

On the advice of Régis Medina and after attending his lecture at the Agile Tour in Valencia, we are looking for a few iterations to make our issues visible not to let the trainer. For this, we have implemented 2 practices.

1. SEE THE PROCESS OF DEFECTS

The first, already mentioned in connection with a ticket on the resolution systematic problems is displayed on a table dedicated problems encountered by the team (see photo ).

2. SEE PRODUCT DEFECTS

The second is to identify, measure and display daily and automatically non-quality product. It is the sum of all that is correct to the level of quality we are looking for our product (and we are VERY demanding) .
Thus, we urge

• the number of warnings compiling code and tests ,
  
• the n shadow of operations that exceed a threshold of complexity ,
  
• the number of classes not covered 100% automated tests ,
  
• the number of classes that do not meet coding standards ...

history of this metric enriched a curve which is shown daily at the place the open space where there is more traffic, right next to the burndown charts.

Since we decided to make visible these problems, we put so disciplined and continue to reduce this non- quality, as shown by the curve shown.

Once the curve stabilizes at an acceptable level of non-quality (corresponding to a minimum of work in progress) we enrich this indicator of a new class of defects. You will see a leap in hand commented on the displayed curve. Thus, we are raising our level of demand in a controlled manner.

We're not interested in the value of the metric but rather the slope of the curve . Indeed, it reveals very clearly if the team is improving or break.

It is very interesting to view this curve of non-quality alongside burndown charts. Indeed, one often finds that the improving productivity (visible on a burndown chart) comes at the expense of quality (visible on the curve of non-quality). The day view and side by side these two curves can see that we do not play in communicating vessels. Better still, we come to correlate even better than work permits to work faster !

Finally, we also valued this measure of non-product quality. For each category we have identified defect associated value: This is the theoretical time required to correct a defect in this category. Thus, we measure the estimated time needed to obtain a product of the desired quality.

With daily measurement and the combined remaining to and non- product quality, we have tools objective, relevant and complementary to steer our development .

Between Fiction and Reality TV Series 蜗居



A text of Charles Hudon
yet
Having beaten all records for viewership in Shanghai and has attracted attention unparalleled in the rest of the country, favorite TV series comes the Chinese to be taken off the air. On 22 November, after airing 10 of the 35 episodes 蜗居 ( woju , the narrowness of the home), "the television station Beijing Youth" (北京 台 青少年 频道) announced it was ending dissemination of the popular series. In the days that followed, the vast majority of Chinese TV stations followed suit. On the Web, Internet users are furious. It is claimed that this would be the realism with which the series depicts the reality of young adults living in large Chinese cities that would have led to its closure. Some officials also confessed half-words that reality is already what it is, it is not necessary to deliver daily by exposing the small screen.蜗居 is somehow detrimental to the building of a harmonious society. The government, of course, denied the rumor. officials said the tapes would have simply been damaged, a claim that no one came.



What could be happening in a TV series so that it becomes the target of a ban issued by the Chinese Communist Party? In fact, nothing that nobody knew. The central theme of the series revolves around 房 奴 ( fangnu , slave housing). From the vernacular, the term appeared in 2003 and is gaining popularity at the time of drastic increases in property prices that occurred in 2005 and during the first quarter of 2006. Following this period of increases, the housing market showed more and more difficult to provide affordable housing for middle class in large cities. Real social problem, the Ministry of Education formally defines the concept in 2007, so the term is now officially 房 奴 reference to urban residents purchased their property on credit, thereby endangering every year from 40% to 50% (or more) of their total income over a period of about 30 years.

Although the pressures and sacrifices that the harsh reality of the housing market now requires the Chinese is definitely the focus, the TV series trafficking, sub-theme of almost all problems related to the lives of young Chinese in large cities. Family pressures who seek to impose values that have not followed the evolution of modern China, challenges of the job market for university graduates, corruption, volatility in love, evolution conflict between values and the pursuit of an ideal material , everything goes.

Everything but a work of propaganda designed to paint a rosy life in the city too often gray, this series highlights a different facet of the "China Dream". While the difficulties of hundreds of millions of Chinese who are still awaiting the fruits of the economic miracle are well documented, we often forget that the new middle class Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and many others, there often remains very bitter. For all those interested in China, this television series to help understand this reality is lived now, but to this day remains largely unknown. After being locked up for 3 days to watch the entire series, a Chinese friend told me, angry that she did not want to own more now. "I like even better location! .

The effects of a ban being regularly difficult to predict the measures taken by Beijing finally had the opposite effect. The series is available in all stores of counterfeit DVDs and most free download sites, word of mouth to quickly 蜗居 of the TV series the most popular at present. Although it has unfortunately not been translated into English, listening nonetheless remains a good choice for those who study Mandarin. Much more than simple practice of listening and reading, the TV series highlights a new dimension of life of Chinese modern dimension Beijing seems unwilling to expose to excessive ... I myself am

Plea for a Green China

An essay by David Ownby

The future of the planet is now in Chinese hands.

Why?

Firstly because Kyoto does not work very well. Outside the EU, the only "success" achieved are the result of seizures (in Eastern Europe and Russia, among others) who have 'Power Full' local economies for the benefit of weather. Secondly because if Obama would turn the page to assume that the U.S. finally their heavy responsibilities, he is handicapped by the refusal of the conservative opposition to depart from the parochial vision of Bush-Cheney-Palin (and especially its value electoral politics blocking dear to the American right). The proposals, however modest they may be, the U.S. President may find it difficult to leave the Senate. And finally, because China has become, since 2007, the biggest contributor to global warming because of its economy, too hot, and whose main fuel is still coal. This "place of honor," China may keep long which will change the game for everyone.



Since the start of negotiations on the policy to adopt on global warming, China said the same thing: the problem was created by advanced countries, who must first pay the piper; China is a developing country and could not mortgage its future on the basis of a green vision that would serve to perpetuate the relative poverty of its people, China is doing its part already (and still). These arguments, however valid they may be, cease to convince shortly.

Why? Because of the mass of humanity that China and is due to the astonishing speed of its economic development. With an annual growth rate of 8%, the GDP of a country double in 9 years: this is the case of China for nearly 30 years. The Industrial Revolution, performed at the speed of light, has eaten unimaginable quantities of steel, cement, glass, and therefore electricity. In addition, China also saw a transition to urban size, which adds to its urban equivalent of two cities of Boston each month. The new urban housing demand, transportation, heating (or air conditioning), and therefore electricity. In recent years, 3 or 4 new power plants come into work every week China. Each year , China adds to its energy generating capacity to an equivalent capacity in this area of the UK. And it's far from finished! A simple statistic speaks volumes: recently, China is the largest car market in the world gold in 1000 Chinese have only 24 cars (cons 5 of 10 in Europe and 7 out of 10 in the U.S.). True, China will never be as crowded with cars than America or Europe, but imagine the extra CO2 produced if 2 or 3 10 Chinese were found regularly behind the wheel. It would be cooked!

According to forecasts, by 2050 the absolute contribution-in historical terms, China's global warming will exceed that of U.S., Chinese and arguments regarding their responsibilities will take over the road. What is perhaps reassuring, because without new technological breakthroughs, China no longer find her the necessary resources to fuel its future development. China's reserves of coal, among others, will no longer adequate after 2020 or 2030, and China has to import it (from where? The U.S.? Russia?). In other words, for reasons both economic and policy, China will have to sing a toune greener shortly.

In fact, in an ideal world, China trades now positioning itself as global leader on Environmental Matters. As a country halfway between the developed and the developing world, China will necessarily resolve over the coming decades, many thorny problems to be able to continue its economic growth without putting its population-and that of the whole-planet at risk. Through its own experience, China would have the technological knowledge and financial resources needed to help India, Brazil and possibly in Africa, with a view to promote green industrial revolution in the south. Such a strategy would build on the efficiency and know-how from China, and also address the search for an international trademark for the new China, Marxism is outdated and too Chinese Confucianism to operate outside of 'East Asia. And finally, if China assumed a leadership position in this regard, the U.S. would have no choice that follow, which would pave the way for a partnership between the two largest emitters of greenhouse gas emissions.

China Will it measure up? Hard to say. To date, China has been quite reluctant to exercise leadership, even on the geopolitical issues that are important, remember that Pakistan and Afghanistan are neighboring countries, China's gold seems to keep his distance. The exception to this rule seems to be the influence of China on North Korea and Myanmar. Become a leader also called for sacrifices, yet China seems to focus more on its rights its responsibilities as a citizen of the planet. And there is no doubt that it is easier to be Stephen Harper, like an ostrich, or Sarah Palin and how the victim, to behave like an adult and see things in front. Anyway it would be a radical change for the Chinese leadership to address the world as an authority green.

But if not China, who?
