| 80:20 rules! - Building software smarter |
 |
Google Tech Talks
October 8, 2008
ABSTRACT
Ever notice that you seem to spend 80% of
your time on 20% of your tasks? Or that 80%
of the decisions in a meeting seem to occur
in 20% of the meeting time? Welcome to the
world of the 80:20 rule. When we design,
build and test software, we have to determine
where to start and what we should do next.
The 80:20 rule helps provide an answer to
these questions, while helping to increase
our productivity and effectiveness. As well
as being an agile principle, it's a common
thread in other disciplines, and there's a
special variation that applies to software
defects. We'll explore the different ways
testers and developers are using the 80:20
rule. This rule could be a secret ingredient
to help you build software smarter!
Speaker: Erik Petersen
Erik Petersen has been involved in custom
software development since the 1980s, now
focusing on testing and quality. He has
presented at more than twenty Australian and
international conferences, winning several
awards. He mixes industry experience with
powerful ideas and a passion for quality, and
has influenced the work habits of hundreds of
testers and developers across the world.
Erik's been heavily involved in the
Exploratory Testing community since before he
even knew what it was called, proposing the
idea of paired ET independently of Kaner and
Bach in 2001. He is pushing forward with
research on ET and other agile methods. He
has reviewed many agile and testing books,
and accidentally named the Master Test Report
In the IEEE 829 Test Documentation 2008
standard.

Understanding exponential growth as a
fundamental driver of global warming,
environmental destruction, peak oil and
natural gas, water and arable land shortages,
social decay, resource wars, etc..
I am looking for people to help me translate
this video into other languages.
Commentarians...If you think understanding
exponential growth is important, and that
this video clip is helpful, I hope you will
consider including a link to this clip in
your signature line in your commentary on
other blogs -- as appropriate.
