13:05 pdurbin 'Many organizations use a “project model” when they shouldn’t.' http://blog.crisp.se/2015/11/10/henrikkniberg/what-is-an-agile-project-leader
13:06 pdurbin "You steer clear of waterfall projects, but you also understand that Agile doesn’t mean No Planning or No Architecture." http://blog.crisp.se/2015/11/10/henrikkniberg/what-is-an-agile-leader
13:48 pdurbin now I'm listening to this and it's pretty good: Henrik Kniberg and how to help your kids win robot battles | Boss Level - http://www.bosslevelpodcast.com/6
13:49 pdurbin "Crisp DNA is a web site that describes how Crisp works and why." https://github.com/crispab/crisp-dna

15:27 pdurbin hmm. Should it be "Developers' Guide" or "Developers Guide"? http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/why-doesn%E2%80%99t-%E2%80%9Cveterans-day%E2%80%9D-have-an-apostrophe is interesting ('An Apostrophe Makes a Plural Possessive' vs. 'No Apostrophe Makes “Veterans” an Adjective')
15:28 pdurbin "Nouns used as adjectives like this are sometimes called attributives. I can’t find the reference, but I remember reading somewhere that it’s becoming more common for people to drop the apostrophe and choose the adjective form."
15:28 pdurbin hell in a handbasket I say :)
15:30 pdurbin 'I should note that there are credible people who firmly believe an apostrophe is required on phrases such as “Veterans Day” and “farmers market.” It can be a contentious topic, and ultimately it’s a style choice.'
15:32 pdurbin "User Guide" seems to be a case of this: http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/18999/when-can-a-noun-be-used-attributively
15:37 pdurbin I don't like the answer at http://www.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetday_faq.asp 'Veterans Day does not include an apostrophe but does include an "s" at the end of "veterans" because it is not a day that "belongs" to veterans, it is a day for honoring all veterans.'
15:48 pdurbin Philip Durbin on Twitter: ""Veterans' Day" with an apostrophe is "another potentially right way" says @GrammarGirl at https://t.co/zUKzT8h2UM /cc @scholarsportal :)" - https://twitter.com/philipdurbin/status/664469427119890432
