Several weeks ago, I was interviewed along with Blaine Wastell (Program Manager) by http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com around how be operate in patterns & practices, specifically in the client program. We talk about both the product planning / strategic side as well as how the dev team functions. We also talk about the future of p&p, and the shifts we're making in how we deliver our guidance. As always, I monopolize the conversation ;)
