Johanna Rothman leads us off with an article regarding what development and test managers do in an agile organization. If you have any interest in our industry and how management works, you need to be reading Johanna’s blog. Aaron Harris talks about managing your cofounder, because if you don’t it could be all downhill from there. Flowing Data shares a flowchart about whether you should vaccinate your child. It is a humorous and snarky look at the typical misbeliefs.
