Val Workman of Ryma Technologies talks about the professionalization of product management, by way of a visit to the metaphorical zoo. Oh, and Frank Capra is there, too. (You have to listen to the interview to understand.) Plus, for this week's review, I put my personal agony with a popular application on display for all to see. (c) 2009 Tom Grant

So you want to learn about heresy...
C. V. Wedgwood: The Thirty Years War (New York Review Books Classics)
Edward Gibbon: The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: Volumes 1-3 (Everyman's Library)
Richard S. Dunn: The Age of Religious Wars, 1559-1715 (Norton History of Modern Europe)
Stephen O'Shea: The Perfect Heresy: The Life and Death of the Cathars
Yes, that book is already on my amzoan wishlist for some time. I consider it one of the classic must reads.The thing about the 9 women quote is that everyone knows it. It's so familiar to a lot of people (also outside software development) and the way you put it is really pointing out the paradigm shift that agile brings.stop looking at delivering a full baby after 9 months and start thinking about delivering 2 feet after one week, and a leg after that and some toenails that improve the feet, .
