, method, process, activity, incentive or reward that is more effective at delivering a particular outcome than any other technique, method, process, etc. The idea is that with proper processes, checks, and testing, a desired outcome can be delivered with fewer problems and unforeseen complications. Best practices can also be defined as the most efficient (least amount of effort) and effective (best results) way of accomplishing a task, based on repeatable procedures that have proven themselves over time for large numbers of people. - Wikipedia There are a number of reasons that spur an organization to institutionalize a best practices capturing mechanism.

Probably the most noticeable change to software process thinking in the last few years has been the appearance of the word 'agile'. We talk of agile software

methods, of how to introduce agility into a development team, or of how to resist the impending storm of agilists determined to change well-established practices.
This new movement grew out of the efforts of various people who dealt with software process in the 1990s, found them wanting, and looked for a new approach to software process. Most of the ideas were not new, indeed many people believed that much successful software had been built that way for a long time. There was, however, a view that these ideas had been stifled and not been treated seriously enough, particularly by people interested in software process.
This essay was originally part of this movement. I originally published it in July 2000. I wrote it, like most of my essays, as part of trying to understand the topic. At that time I'd used Extreme Programming for

...
skills are essential whether you are a high profile project manager, a student or any other individual. Most of my experience in project management has come from my student years, but I have noticed that no matter what level of management you are involved in the fundamentals remain the same.

Creating a minimalist workspace — from Zen Habits We are delighted to have Leo Babauta of Zen Habits as a guest columnist today. Please give him a warm
...
welcome and check out his awe-inspiring website afterward. We thank Leo for being a part of our month of sharing. How minimalist is your workspace? An uncluttered workspace is a thing of beauty. I write a lot about minimalism on Zen Habits , including guides to creating a minimalist home , minimalist housework , and beating clutter entropy . On Unclutterer, my favorite feature is the Workspace of the Week , with its cool setups. Today, I thought I’d share my pretty minimalist workspace, and share some thoughts on how to go about creating one of your own. What’s a minimalist workspace? That question will have different answers for each person. There can be no single definition. The ultimate minimalist workspace, I think, would be to have no desk or papers or computer or anything of the kind — just yourself. You’d think, and talk, and may
