Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 177!The SPaMCAST 177 features my essay titled The Beginner's Mind. The essay begins:Why is it easier for some organizations to innovate or to change more than others? Why do some organizations become less flexible after a new idea is successfully implemented? I believe that the concept of the beginner’s mind holds a substantial clue about why some people and organizations either embrace or resist change.   Interested in becoming a radio star?If you are interested in reviewing tools or books?  Drop me a note at [email protected]Shameless Ad for my book! Mastering Software Project Management: Best Practices, Tools and Techniques co-authored by Murali Chematuri and myself and published by J.
