		<description><![CDATA[Imagine that your team is developing product for some market. There is no specific customer yet, so product owner is an internal product manager. And at some point you realize that there is lots of functionality, but from user’s point of view it just doesn’t work at all – bug here, bug there, small, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Software quality assurance is usually understood as ensuring that a process is adhered to. But does just following a process guarantee sufficient quality? Perhaps, if a process contains focus on quality and means to maintain it. And there are right people.
Of course, theorists would say that a process guarantees quality, that all problems are caused [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is Scrum better than RUP?
Yes.
No.
That’s an incorrect question. We can’t say that Scrum is better than RUP because we can’t compare them reliably. In fact a process is a multidimensional essence. As you know from math we can’t compare two vectors – only their norm. And norm can vary depending on the space. The same [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Retrospective is one of the most ignorable practices from agile processes. Why people don’t use retrospective? Mostly they don’t see the value yet they see difficulties that it causes.
No doubt any practice which provides no value should be cancelled. But some practices provide long-term value which some people don’t take into consideration.
Some obvious goals of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Knowledge management is quite a controversial topic. Some companies invested big resources into knowledge management projects and didn’t get expected results. Due to these failures knowledge management is considered by some companies as just yet another “silver bullet” which doesn’t provide any real value. Some companies believe that by managing knowledge they can solve all [...]]]></description>

But having such understanding is a way to get additional information about us, possibility to get a view from “outside”.

		<description><![CDATA[Talent management is a new buzzword (actually, not even really new). This term is used to describe very wide range of activities – from gathering people with appropriate skills as a project team to designing complex corporate retaining programs. Nowadays terms talent management, human resources management and human capital management are used interchangeably.
