I spoke with Nancy V. last year about using Agile in the embedded software space.  Now she is coaching organizational change in the UK and loving it.  That is bad for Boston but Good for the England.

Hope you enjoy.

Tim Lister is a well know author and all around funny speaker.  I recorded his tutorial at the APLN Leadership Summit at the Agile 2006 Conference.   This was the second time I have heard him talk and I always find his talks humorous and informative. 

There are a few audio glitches as he puts on his mic and when people ask questions without a mic but all and all it is well worth a listen.

Straight from the VP's mouth.  Bud and I talk about his adoption of Agile and Lean practices in his line of business.  Who said you can not do
Agile in an opreations group...Not Me.  Capital One has a large Agile implimentation and Bud was one of the early adopters.

I enjoyed this interview quite a bit.  I hope to see Bud on the next Agile tour here in DC at Agile 2007.

James Shore is working on CardMeeting.com.  I love this tool.  I think it has a lot of great potential.  I generally do not like online planning tools since they usually need to be single threaded and do not feel right.  People at a table are better but ......  if you are not in the same room ....

Go to the site with several people on different computers and have a blast.
