Part 1: Lessons I Learned as a Project Manager Converting to Agile - Port 25: The Open Source Community at Microsoft - http://port25.technet.com/archive...
Before I became the Program Manager for CodePlex.com, Microsoft's open source project hosting site, I worked on the Visual Studio team on four different product cycles. Since Visual Studio uses traditional Microsoft product lifecycle releases, I had to learn about Agile development alongside learning about open source development when I joined the CodePlex.com team. Making the switch from releasing every three years to every three weeks didn't happen overnight!
