I happen to (almost) have a vacation. Besides having quality time with my family, I still have some books to read and  I hope I will get to that too!

What’s on my list?

• The Fifth Discipline, by Peter Senge
• The Goal, by Eliyahu Goldratt
• Getting To Yes, by Roger Fisher, William Ury and Bruce Patton
• Lean Primer, by Craig Larman and Bas Vodde (technically not a book, but I’m going to read it anyway)

If anyone has more suggestions, please let me know.

Hello world! Or something like that.

After a recent hardware failure I decided to host my blog externally at TransIP. And I decided to change the domain name as well. Where I used to mix up personal and professional posts on schapendonk.org, from now on I will use mikkeman.nl for professional matters and keep the personal stuff on schapendonk.org. As a consequence, schapendonk.org will be translated to Dutch and get a fresh layout, but I don’t know when that’s going to happen

What to expect? I’ m interested in project management. Lean and agile project management in particular. Keywords that come to mind (in no particular order) are Scrum, Toyota, flow, pull, kanban, WIP, taskboard, retrospectives, standup, user story, planning poker, eliminate waste, real options, queueing, Theory of Constraints, value stream analysis, and… do I need to go on?

Stay tuned if you are interested in these subjects as well!
