If you happen to not know who is Jim McCarthy watch all the video episodes of his “23.5 Rules of Thumb” presentation and read his article “21 Rules of Thumb for Shipping Great Software on Time” based on earlier version of the presentation. Jim left Microsoft to continue his research in the field of team dynamics. The result of this research is The Core: set of commitments and protocols to enhance productivity of teams.
If you think downloading The Core PDF is a waste of time and traffic – just read the thoughts of a bootcamper. Or watch an episode of Jim’s presentation right now.
