Johanna and I discuss her new book Manage Your Project Portfolio.

As usual I really enjoyed my conversation with Johanna.  We discuss the use of flow management in the realm of agile projects.  Flowing the work through stable agile teams is a technique that has been used successfully for years.  The biggest challenge to this process is yearly funding by project rather than a more incremental funding model.

Manage Your Project Portfolio

Olav gives his first podcast interview ever.  He discusses 'Real Options' as a model for thinking about prioritization and commitment.  Real options is an interesting model for limiting WIP and managing a portfolio of work through a development team.

Bob Martin and I chat about the software craftsmanship movement.  I missed this conference but know many of the people involved in it.  I suspect it was great.

As always I enjoyed my conversation with Bob and hope you do as well.

Enjoy.

I met Aslak at the Agile 2009 conference for the first time.  In fact this is to date my one and only conversation with him.  I have used the Cucumber framework at a number of clients to facilitate automated regression testing at the story level.  His work builds on the work of several of my previous interviewees.

• David Chelimsky
• Dave Astels
• Ward Cunningham
• Bob Martin
• Rick Mugridge

I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed our conversation.

This is a must attend event for folks using or contemplating using Agile Methods. The conference will be in beautiful Chicago August 24-28. If you have not yet signed up there is still time.
