The day to day ramblings of Jim Scardelis, Release Manager turned Program Manager in Microsoft.com.
The use of Agile software development methodologies, such as MSF for Agile Development holds a lot of promise. However, 1st generation agile methodologies can be problematic when developing software for deployment in online systems, as they do not always address the architectural needs that operations requires.
Randy Miller, in the MSF for Agile Development blog, talks about how second generation agile methodologies are addressing the architecture question, and other issues like testing with testers.

About Jim Scardelis
I'm a Program Manager on the Microsoft.com Content Delivery Infrastructure team - We're the group that is responsible for a lot of the software that the Microsoft.com Web site runs on.
Prior to moving to the PM team, I was a Release Manager for Microsoft.com (hence the title of this blog) for over six years. In my new position, my focus has changed from the relationship & processes between the development teams & operations towards those between the development teams & stakeholders. Oh, and I get to work on features sometimes too. :)
