What a day

published March 16, 2010

Today was an excellent day. Our team members where busy on other projects, in training and some lucky ones where on vacation. This special occasion gave me an opportunity for serious hacking in our war room. It must have been over two years ago since I had a day like this. In “proper” agile projects, Scrum master will inevitably be interrupted multiple times per day, if not, there is something lurking beneath the surface. So, a quiet day like this is a rare treat for me.

I spent my day test driving Thoughtworks Twist, configuring Bamboo and getting it to build Webtests written in Groovy. I also configured a bamboo widget to show build status on Jira dashboard and enhanced our development environment by configuring jRebel to Liferay. This stuff is better to be in order when doing serious development. Personally, I think that all this stuff should be bought from a cloud vendor and it is kind of 1999 to install team tools by yourself. Reality, however, is that many organizations are still hosting services by them selves. I would like to see a one-click development environment cloud services, that could generate a whole development environment for you with just one mouse click. Atlassian’s Jira Studio is moving into this direction but idea I am after is more like Jira Studio combined with Google app engine. Oh well, maybe some day.
