Hosted by Thomas M. Cagley Jr., Software Process and Measurement Cast is a thoughtful look at how IT teams actually work and improve. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a grounded conversation on the real-world mechanics of building better software, from the initial code commit to the final deployment. Each episode digs into the practicalities of process improvement and the meaningful use of measurement, tackling the specific hurdles that technology groups face as they scale and adapt. You'll hear discussions that get into the weeds of managing projects, evolving team structures, and implementing changes that stick. The Software Process and Measurement Cast serves as a reliable resource for anyone involved in the lifecycle of software development, from engineers and project managers to leaders steering their organizations through growth. Tune in for a candid exploration of the systems and metrics that shape successful IT outcomes, delivered with a focus on actionable insights rather than fleeting trends. This podcast provides a steady, informed perspective on the ongoing journey of organizational evolution in the tech space.
