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.

Exit Interview: A Book Review

Exit Interview: A Book Review

I recently read Exit Interview: The Life and Death of My Ambitious Career by Kristi Coulter. I picked it up because the title resonated with me. I, too, have had an ambitious tech career and just recently semi-retired, pulling back to teach and run programs at my alma mater, the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Coulter’s book was funny, interesting, and, above all, kind of PTSD-inducing if you’re in tech and especially if you’re a woman in tech.

A Different Kind of Power: Why Jacinda Ardern’s Version of Leadership Matters

A Different Kind of Power: Why Jacinda Ardern’s Version of Leadership Matters

I just finished A Different Kind of Power: A Memoir by Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s Prime Minister from 2017 to 2023. At a moment when the political world feels particularly bleak, Ardern’s book feels different. It’s full of hope (and good decisions). Her tenure as New Zealand’s Prime Minister shows us that a person can hold the highest office in a country and still be, unmistakably and unapologetically, a human being, a woman, and a mom.

Stick Together: What the Women’s Suffrage Movement Can Teach Us About Politics Right Now

I’ve been working on a new book for women trying to kick ass in a male-centric world and I’m in the developmental editing stages right now. I just got through my final chapter and I love it so, darn much. The chapter is called: “Stick Together: How To Stop Undermining Other Women & Get Things Done Together”. Historically, our failure to stick together has cost us decades of progress. Here’s just one example.
