My Agile 2015 Roundup - No Fluff Just Stuff

My Agile 2015 Roundup

Posted by: Johanna Rothman on August 24, 2015

Agile 2015 was the week of Aug 3-7 this year. It was a great week. Here are the links to my interviews and talks.

Interview with Dave Prior. We spoke about agile programs, continuous planning, and how you might use certifications. I made a little joke about measurement.

Interview with Paul DuPuy of SolutionsIQ. We also spoke about agile programs. Paul had some interesting questions, one of which I was not prepared for. That’s okay. I answered it anyway.

The slides from Scaling Agile Projects to Programs: Networks of Autonomy, Collaboration and Exploration. At some point, the Agile Alliance will post the video of this on their site.

The slides from my workshop Agile Hiring: It’s a Team Sport. Because it was a workshop, there are built-in activities. You can try these where you work.

My pecha kucha (it was part of the lightning talks) of Living an Agile Life.

I hope you enjoy these. I had a great time at the conference.
