Agile Requirements Information Model (5) – For Agile Programs (b): Nonfunctional Requirements | Scaling Software Agility Agile Requirements Information Model (5) – For Agile Programs (b): Nonfunctional Requirements Posted on January 8, 2009 by Dean Leffingwell in Agile Requirements Note: This is the fifth in a series of posts describing, in more rigorous terms, A Lean, Scalable Requirements Information Model for the Agile Enterprise (AE RIM) that underlies the Big Picture Series. In this series, I’ve been collaborating with Juha-Markus Aalto, Director of Operational Development for Nokia S60 Software Unit, where a variant of the model is being developed and applied on a very large scale development project. In the last post, the Agile Requirements Information Model For Agile Programs we described those elements of the model, Features and Feature Backlog that are relevant to the Program Level of the Big Picture. (see graphic). Agile Enterprise Big Picture with Program Level Highlighted In this post, we complete that discussion with a discussion of Non-functional Requirements. Testing Backlog Constraints

The Londoner: Salted Chocolate Truffles Recipes» Salted Chocolate Truffles Also fondly known as... Chocolate Salty Balls! I whipped these little love nuggets up for a dinner party last night. A table full of chocolate lovers eyed me suspiciously as I handed them round. "Salt & chocolate? I made them wait until everyone had one in their hands. On the count of three, I said, pop the whole thing in your mouth. With a few smirks & giggles, we all placed one on our tongue. First there was silence. Then the eye rolling, moaning & oh wows began. They couldn't believe it. I could. I hate dark chocolate as I find it too harsh, but the salt works its little butt off to neutralise the bitterness. These truffles are deliciously easy to make, wildly impressive & will pack a chocolatey punch you wont soon forget. To make yours, you'll need: 300g good quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa) 300ml double cream 60g unsalted butter 300g good quality milk chocolate Maldon rock salt Break up your chocolate & place it into a bowl. Now you'll need to chill it.

DevOps « Scaled Agile Framework In order for you to keep up with customer demand, you need to create a deployment pipeline. You need to get everything in version control. You need to automate the entire environment creation process. You need a deployment pipeline where you can create test and production environments, and then deploy code into them, entirely on demand.– Erik To Grasshopper. The Phoenix Project DevOps is a pattern, not a team. Real, tangible software development value occurs only when the end-users are successfully operating the software in their environment. Deployment Operations is an Integral Part of the Software Value Stream The goal of software engineering is to deliver usable and reliable software products to the end users. However in most cases, development teams still deliver software to deployment in large batches. Deployment Operations Must be “On the Train” In SAFe, Value Streams cover all steps of software value creation and delivery. Figure 1. 3a: Deploy to Staging Every Sprint Summary

Rainbow cake Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease 2 x 20cm round sandwich tins and line the bases with baking parchment. Tip all the sponge ingredients, apart from the food colouring, into a mixing bowl, then beat with an electric whisk until smooth. Working quickly, weigh the mixture into another bowl to work out the total weight, then weigh exactly half the mixture back into the mixing bowl. Pick 2 of your colours and stir a little into each mix. Keep going until you are happy with the colour – the colour of the batter now will be very similar to the finished cake, so be brave! Gently turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool. To make the icing, very briefly beat the vanilla and cream cheese or mascarpone with an electric whisk until smooth. Smear a little icing on your cake stand or plate – just a splodge to stick the first sponge.

double chocolate banana bread I have a theory that Mondays are for repentance, for undoing whatever damages to your liver, psyche or saddlebags you’ve done over the weekend. They’re for getting back on the gym horse, resuming those eight daily glasses of water, and going to bed early. They’re for kale salad; they are not for chocolate cake. But, guys, those bananas that are one day from fruit flies are not going to eat themselves, and they must be addressed, which brings us to this. I joked earlier this year that I had a new mantra to address all future cooking indecisions: WWAE (What Would Alex Eat?) Well, Alex: 1, Deb: 0 on this one too because it’s so good, I’ve made it three times in the past week. Double Chocolate Banana Bread Heat your oven to 350°F. Mash bananas in the bottom of a large bowl. Pour into prepared pan and bake 55 to 65 minutes, until a tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out batter-free. The banana bread will keep for up to 4 days at room temperature.
