The Agile Wire Podcast

December 12, 2023

I was on The Agile Wire Podcast talking about my new book, Agile Discovery & Delivery, recently! I had a blast talking to Chad Beier and Jeff Bubolz about the book, agile discovery, self-selection and our favorite subject, The Princess Bride.

Chad and Jeff are regular guest speakers in my class. They run a local agile consulting company called WI Agility and are incredibly knowledgable on the agile front (and fun to work with!). They have been doing a Kanban Simulation with the students that teach them all about Little’s Law, Work in Progress (WIP), and how the students can better manage work on their agile teams. After their session, I generally give the students the option to use either Scrum or Kanban for the rest of the semester. Many groups pick Kanban as they really like the freedom and visibility they get with Kanban vs. Scrum.

What I’ve learned, after years of accumulating obligations and then having to shed them, is that the solution isn’t to be more disciplined about saying no in the future. It’s to do a periodic audit of everything you’ve already said yes to and then make some harder decisions than you made the first time around.

The Never-ending Pursuit of Enough

The Never-ending Pursuit of Enough

School is starting this week and there’s a lot going on. And so, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the idea of enough. How hard it is to actually live there and maintain a lifestyle centered around having “enough”. Why American culture makes this almost impossible, but why it’s worth pursuing anyway.
