Last week, Wolfram Arnold of RubyFocus interviewed Edward Hieatt, our VP of Engineering, and Davis Frank, one of our engineers, to try to get at the heart of how you build a scalable software development team.
The interview is posted on RailsLab, at http://railslab.newrelic.com/2009/03/18/scalable-teams-part-1-communication
It's a nice piece. We look forward to the second installment.
I'm very pleased to announce that Pivotal Tracker has won the coveted Jolt Award, in the Project Management category.
I want to thank the judges for selecting Pivotal Tracker above a category dominated by Agile project management tools, and for rewarding Tracker for innovation.
I want to thank the community who have used, evangelized, and supported Tracker, and in particular Obie Fernandez, Ward Cunningham, and Nivi; plus everyone over at Engine Yard for hosting the app.
And of course I want to thank and congratulate the development team and visionaries, particularly Dan Podsedly, Alex Chaffee, Rob Mee, Mark Michael, and Edward Hieatt for envisioning and then building the tool that we've come to depend on.
