Gordon Pask award

Welcome! I'm James Shore. I'm passionate about what it takes to deliver successful software--and, in fact, what "success" really means in the world of software. I speak, write, and consult on this subject for clients around the world.

On this site, you'll find:

Consulting Services. I specialize in operational excellence for software teams. Simply put, that means I help organizations improve productivity, reduce defects, and improve time-to-market. If you'd like to learn more, take a look at my Services, read about my Credentials, or Contact Me for a free consultation about your needs. Or you can check my Event Calendar to see if I'll be speaking near you. Many of my public appearances are free.

Analysis and Opinion. I write about all aspects of successful software development, from technology to teamwork. Sometimes it's silly, sometimes it's serious, and sometimes it's a complete waste of time (but not often, I hope!). It's all on My Blog. If you really like my writing, you can subscribe to My RSS Feed or browse through the Archive. To focus your time on my best work, check out my Featured Articles.

In-Depth Features. I've also written some book-length features. The first is my Change Diary: an annotated journal about my struggle to change an organization from within. It's one of my most popular works. The second is still in progress: bonus features for my book, The Art of Agile Development. You can also Buy the Book itself from Amazon.

Thanks for visiting!
