I must say, a difficult question, as both methodologies have a different audience and way of use.  Although Kanban is of the same family as Scrum.  in fact, in my opninion it's a light weight Scrum with a more dynamic area.  I'm going to setup Kanban for our team here after my holiday (somewhere around mid november).

But about our question, Doug Shimp has wrote a nice blog article about it.  You can read it here: http://doug-shimp.net/scrum-faq/will-kanban-replace-scrum/

You don't know anything about Scrum, but want to know more about it, well here's some help.

Mike Cohn has made a nice presentaiton "Introduce Scrum to your team, ScrumMaster and Product Owner".  The nice thing is that this presentation is already availlable in 14 languages.

Gabriel Lozano-Moran wrote a nice post about crashes of Adobe Flash in Internet Explorer under Windows 7.

Read it here.

Be sure to read my comment on his post, because also Acrobat Reader provides a crash in Internet Explorer.

Yep, you read it correct.  Today it's the official launch for the public of Windows 7 worldwide.

When playing around with custom Work Item Types, there will be a moment you want to delete this item. Standard this isn't possible.  But when you install the Microsoft Power Tools for TFS, you have a program tfpt.

With this program you could use the command destroywitd, which will delete your WIT. Use it this way:

tfpt destroywitd /server:<tfsservername> /project:<projectname> /workitemtype:<witdname>

The WIT will now be physically removed from the server and can't be resrtored.

You're want to add a new Work Item or updating a Work Item and during the save you got the TF20017 error:

This is mostly because in the iteration path, you didn't choose an iteration for the dropdown, but typed in manually a new iteration.

The solution is easy.  Just go to the menu:

      Team > Team project Settings > Areas and Iterations

Go to the iteration tab and add a new child node.

One more thing, you need to wait till the Datawarehouse job has processed the new information, before you see it in the dropdown of you work item.

Almost a week since I installed Windows 7 and I must say: impressive.  It works fast, without any real problems.

During this week I installed all my software back I use.  And here are some issues, lucky almost all issues are solved.

First, in my previous post I talked that the antivirus problem was solved with installing one.  This is fully correct.  I looked around and at that moment no Antivirus was really ready for Windows 7.  I have a license for Kaspersky, and I installed this one.  It works for 60%.  Mail and webscans working fine, but file scans aren't working anymore under Windows 7.  After contacting kaspersky, they told me to wait till 22 October because Windows 7 is still in development.  Uh???? It’s already released as RTM and MSDN/TechNet subscribers could download the official release version already.  22 October is the day that Windows 7 will be released for the public.

Also I can't use my fingerprint reader, because the driver and software isn't available for the moment.

Further during the installation of my software, I checked if there's a 64 bit version, but almost all software is only available in 32 bit :-(.  Also I had to be sure that I used the latest version under Windows 7.  Especially software like Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements.

I also have a Hercules MK2 DJ mix console.  This wasn't working anymore under Vista.  I looked at their site if a new driver was available and guess what: It is .  But the final one will be available the end of October.  So I will wait and then try to see if I can install it now under Windows 7.  The software I use (VirtualDJ Free version) isn't available anymore under Windows 7.  You need to buy it or use Mixvibes DJC Edition.  Will see what I'm going to do with it.

That's all folks for this time about Windows 7.
