About Inspect and Adapt
World-class software development requires far more than language/platform expertise and steady sprints. Join us as we describe time-tested, industry-proven software best practices at the team, organization, and leadership levels, sharing examples from recent engagements with software teams of all sizes. Construx (https://www.construx.com) is led by industry leader Steve McConnell, author of Code Complete (https://www.amazon.com/Code-Complete-Practical-Handbook-Construction/dp/0735619670) and More Effective Agile (https://www.amazon.com/More-Effective-Agile-Roadmap-Software/dp/1733518215). Software experts first and software trainers and consultants second, our team has seen what works and doesn’t work in hundreds of software organizations. Host Mark Griffin spent the first half of his career as an electrical engineer doing silicon hardware design and leading software automation teams. He moved into the sales side of software because he wanted to spread the value of what his company was building. It was supposed to be a one-year assignment that turned into the second half of his career. His balance of deeply technical skills and right-brain artistry also makes him a masterful home brewer!

This is something that happens typically, well, it should happen. should happen very early in a project's creation. It's kind of, in a sense, before Agile takes over. What Agile really wants to start with is a backlog, right? A backlog full of, as a user I need, as a user I need, as a user I need. Well, where do those come from? The perfect place to build those is from a context-setting session. What do we say a context is? […]
