I speak with Tom and Dustin regarding the work they have done to roll out agile within Nationwide. I worked with them both in the past and it is extrordinarily gratifying to see the seeds of your labor grown into such a giant tree.  They have created the right ballance of structure that allows them to bring up teams and agility to allow those teams to innovate.

I hope you enjoy.

I speak with Diana Larsen and James Shore at the Agile 2012 conference about their recently released Agile Fluency model.  This model looks at team and organizational Agile adoption and provides a framework for looking at where you are and where you want to be.

As usual I loved talking with both of them again and hope you will enjoy listening to their conversation with me.

I always enjoy talking with Arlo about his open data work and the strange coincidence that he and Ward Cunningham are both working on this problem.  He chats about his work with big data, his penchant for starting with XP as the initial set of agile practices for teams to allow tight feedback and real agility.

This interview has been on disk for a while but I hope you enjoy.  As you can tell he is an angry, angry, bitter man.
