I was asked to share some resources and thoughts on what I’ve been a part of in the past to our new project management. I like sharing resources :-) and have been thinking/learning about this a lot in the past few years. Here’s part of the email that
KanBan, Agile, TFS for work items, Lean, Startup culture are all things I've seen as useful.

Technical Debt article I wrote from HDC 14: http://www.geekswithblogs.net/Aligned/archive/2014/09/08/hdc-2014-ndash-technical-debt-is-good.aspx

- good link in there too, great presentation on agile from http://www.agencyagile.com/. I am not able to post the slides, but it was eye opening on how Agile should be adapted to your organizations needs. People over centralized power, adaption over strict process, trust over control, etc.
I'm into Behavior Driven Development that can complete improve (in my opinion) and change the requirements to customer communication to developer testing to QA testing communication. This is another post I've written.

I recommend the first 5 chapters of the Continuous Deployment book that I've read as a book study (the whole book is good, but get into more technical issues after the first 5). www.continousdeployment.com has a good whiteboard drawing of the ideas.
