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.

In Slow Productivity Newport says that our current definition of productivity is broken. Busyness has become a proxy for actual effort, and that history’s most creative and impactful people worked very differently than we do today. I buy into this premise completely. Newport is one of the clearest thinkers writing about work and attention right now, and I always appreciate his thoughts. Here’s a review about what I found valuable and perhaps not as valuable.

Why I Keep Starting New Things in Retirement (And Why You Should Too)

Why I Keep Starting New Things in Retirement (And Why You Should Too)

The truth about retirement is, I’m still figuring out which challenges belong in my days and which problems I really want to solve. I’m still learning what it means to do hard things by choice rather than by obligation and how to find the right balance between the ebb of rest and the flow of something hard that I think matters. Here’s what I’ve figured out so far.

The Best Part of Our Viking Rhine Trip Was After the Boat: Switzerland, Lake Como & Milan

Our extension, which went from Basel through the Swiss Alps by the scenic Bernina Express train, two nights in St. Moritz, another scenic train into Italy, a stop at Lake Como, and two nights in Milan, was fantastic. It had everything the river cruise sometimes lacked: free time, fitness centers, beautiful hotels, and the feeling that the pace was ours to explore. Let me tell you how our post-extension to Switzerland and Italy went.
