There's an update for El Capitan available that seems to fix the problem, http://www.computerworld.co.... Hope it helps.

Thanks for sharing! I will just wait with upgrading to El Capitan. Microsoft will hopefully have a fix ready soon.

What OS X do you have? Have you upgraded to the new El Capitan? Unfortunately, Outlook 2016 seems (still) not to work well on El Capitan. Microsoft seems to be working on a patch. With the October 13, 2015 Outlook update this problem has not yet been solved. A date for the fix is unknown.

What OS X do you have installed? Have you upgraded to OS X El Capitan already? Outlook seems (still) not to work well on El Capitan. For me that was a sufficient reason to wait with upgrading until there is a patch available. On Yosemite I am not having any issues with Outlook 2016.

Hmmm, that's a pity. Once I faced a similar issue. After removing Outlook, I decided to reboot before installing it again and then it worked. Did you try that? It that doesn't help it will be hard to support you remotely without having any details.

Dylan, nice to hear it worked for you as well. I'm still using it once in a while and indeed it helps. Be aware that Google Chrome is anyway consuming a lot of your PC's resources. I noticed Safari is performing better. Google seems to be working on a lighter version to solve that issue.

Hi Carmen, sorry to hear that. For me it's running ok for regular documents. Bigger Powerpoint and Word files are more challenging. In the beginning I noticed the new Office was a bit slow, probably due to indexing, but after a day it got for sure better. What other applications are you using at the same time? Are you having a browser opened with many active tabs may be? Especially when it's Google Chrome it's going to be a challenge. When office apps keep crashing even after a reboot, I would consider reinstalling (I agree it shouldn't be like that, but it once worked for me as well).

Many valuable Agile problems and solutions have been shared here. Coincidentally, I was preparing a list to gather audience feedback before a keynote speech I will provide. You can find the list on my blog, http://ow.ly/M5Ggf. Feel free to comment, vote, add. Soon a list with possible solutions will follow.

Jason, thanks for your reply. I haven't faced the issue to the extend as you described it, but I've noticed that e-mails are disappearing. Till now I thought I just didn't remember whether or not I had send them. Reading your comment it might be that I sent them, but Outlook didn't. I'm facing connection issues as well. I'm connecting to Office 365 and frequently this connection seems to be hanging or it takes Outlook really long to get connected. Unfortunately, till now I didn't find a satisfying solution for that.

Let's hope Microsoft (or someone else) will get this fixed soon.

Thanks for your comment Bartosz. I fully agree content is king. Consumers nowadays realize quite soon when you try to fool them. Unfortunately, still not everyone seems to realize.

Re: Why „iPhone first” is a good mobile strategy

PetersOpinion — Thu, 17 Jul 2014 01:54:01 -0000

Hi, can you please explain yourself a bit more? In my opinion the post shows a trend based on existing market data. And this data for sure indicates iPhone users are spending more. Besides, I don't see why you blame the author to be living in a delusional world. I don't believe a user is willing to pay for an app he uses the most. A user wants to pay for value. Of course the real value of an app will be different for everyone. This could be productivity like you mentioned, but also "fun" when it's regarding games.

Re: Is Lean software development better than Scrum?

PetersOpinion — Fri, 27 Jun 2014 03:09:16 -0000

Hi Ella, first of all thanks for your reply. My post is already some years old and I should prepare an update based on more recent experiences. The main issue with Scrum is that too often it's only used by IT people to improve their efficiency. Research findings show that the business too often doesn't notice the real business value of the approach. Basically, I believe this is "just" an implementation issue.
Lean development is by itself more focussed on generating business value and in the end that's all we need.
