I would do a series of multiple posts wherein I would try to cover each and every aspect related to AGILE and Its implementation using SCRUM... To start with: Let me explain what is the Difference between AGILE and SCRUM. Seen people interchangeably using both of these terms when they are not. A good analogy would be the difference between a recipe and a diet. A vegetarian diet is a set of methods and practices based on principles and values. A recipe for Vegetarian Pulaoo would be a framework you can use to implement your Vegetarian diet. This is similar to the relationship between Agile (the diet) and Scrum (the recipe you follow). So the Vegetarian diet plan gives you some basic principles you need to follow to be vegetarian. Keeping those principles in mind you can create countless dishes which are just a...

In continuation to my last post about bendable mobile here is a new Avatar from the same breed.. The " benq siemens snaked " BenQ-Siemens is unveiling their very creative model called Snaked, a phone for women. Instead of being carried, it is twisted around the wrist or around the arm. Specially Design for Women, this is a reptile looking phone, creepy somehow, but still is very cool. Its inspired from ever fascinating snakes.

Window 7 mobile .....with this the sleeping giant is back. Breaking all silence finally microsoft comes speaking. There are many features which shows that Microsoft has taken a radical approach to the phone. Tiles:: The tile function of the screen replaces the icon displays seen on the iPhone and the Android with living breathing tiles. Just picking up the phone you can see what is going on in your world without opening any app. To add I may say that this is sometimes better than push notifications. Hub Strategy:: The HUB concept works really well. You can have a music hub in the shape of the Zune app. But this app is not restricted to content I have uploaded to, or bought in Zune, but all the music content on my ‘phone.
