Agile Uprising’s own James Gifford was lucky enough to attend the #WomenInAgile event prior to #Agile2017, with This year's theme being Empowering the Changing Face of Agile: Women in Agile ; James had nothing but great things to say and we want to share the lighting talk portion of the event. The Organizer took an interesting approach to selecting speakers by utilizing only women speakers that had never before been compensated for a talk; Each person selected was provided a mentor to prep for their talks.
- Joanna Vahlsing (mentor Laura Powers):
Gender's Impact on the Ability for Agile Teams to have Meaningful Feedback Loops
2. Linda Podder (mentor Lynn Winterboer):
Innovation Isn't Just for the Dev Team - It's for Scrum Masters Too!
3. Susan Marricone (mentor Ryan Ripley):

On this episode, the Agile Coaching Exchange Atlanta chapter welcomes Arlen Bankston, Executive VP and Managing Partner for LitheSpeed. Arlen has been actively involved in the application and evolution of Agile software development processes such as Scrum, Kanban and Extreme Programming for over a decade and a half. He is also a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, and was an early adopter in the application of broader lean principles to agile methods to deepen theoretical understanding and drive organizational change. He was one of the earliest Certified ScrumMaster Trainers, and he specializes in the role of the Product Owner, drawing upon first-hand experience in product design and management.
Agile and Lean ideas originated outside of the domains of software and Information Technology (IT) and are beginning a return to these broader origins. Join us as we explore how non-IT teams are benefiting from the same mindset that we use to develop great software, to reach customers and to promote and launch products and services. Our podcast takes place during ACE Atlanta’s monthly chapter meeting. The conversation is expertly guided by Jenn Fix who leads digital strategy and agile process for the Rollins Center, a non-profit program of the Atlanta Speech School. Non-IT areas discussed include Marketing, HR, Finance, and Federal Government.

In this episode, we dive into the topic of DevOps for legacy systems. The show begins with our host butchering another guests name, then Brett providing his description of what Legacy Systems are, and what DevOps is. The show continues to dive into the cultural and mindset shifts required to implement DevOps. We talk about the three critical elements to improving delivery flow:
- Handoffs
- Queues
- Work in progress
Brett gives a number of examples from his past where focusing on these three items significantly improves delivery. We also dive into the impact distributed team have on impacting delivery flow. As the talk comes to an end, we reflect on the absence of tools in our conversation, and how tools are secondary to mindset shifting.

This week we come live from the Music City Agile conference from Nashville Tommy Norman and Gaines Kergosien along with our host James Gifford. Tommy and Gains sit and discuss the work that goes into establishing a conference and the approach that goes into creating a conference. Learn about the work that goes into deciding on conference track selection, venue importance, scheduling, and the importance of networking breaks.
The talk also covers the emergence of the agile scene in Tennessee and the large degree of technical Meetup groups. To subscribe to the Music City Agile group, fill out this form.
As the show comes to an end, the idea of blending conferences. Tommy and Gaines are asking you, the listener, to share your thoughts about blending topics/workshops – please join the show discussion on the Coalition to do just that.
Join our hosts, Chris Murman, Jay Hrcsko, and Andy Cleff as they dive into the discussion around Red-Amber-Green (RAG) status reporting and the use of this information radiation. This topic came from Andy’s Coalition post “Why Red is Good”. The post has quite a few comments – which you are welcomed to join into.
The conversation covers traditional use of the RAG status, modern adaptations like the Spotify Health Check model and how the hosts are currently using RAG status. Andy Cleff dives into his current usage, starting all projects at Red as there will inevitably be the highest degree of uncertainty at the beginning of a project. Andy also shares commentary on this article about RAG status reporting in the US Military.
Unfortunately, we were unable to find a video of a ferret being introduced to a kindergarten resulting in chaos (sorry Jay), but here is the closest thing we have to satisfy the metaphor introduced towards the end of the show.

This episode of the Agile Uprising Podcast found its start in a blog post Chris Murman posted on his (must subscribe) blog. The post synthesizes the recent white paper from 6point6 that essentially says we aren’t “doing” agile right. 6point6 commissioned a survey of 300 CIOs in the UK and the US to examine their experiences of Agile and measure how successfully the principles of Agile are being applied and executed. One of the key findings was “British business is set to waste an estimated £37 billion on failed Agile IT projects over the course of the next 12 months”.
Our hosts, Jay Hrscko, Chris Murman, Andrew Leff and Ryan Lockard talk through various parts of the white paper and the subsequent blog post from Chris. We talk about the impact of agile-as-a-business, the reality of distributed teams, team commitment, the criticality of modern DevOps and the show closes with a passionate conversation about non-functional requirements (NFRs).
Through the show, you will hear mentions of Chris’ Texas-ness, Ryan’s love of sour beer and Jay’s metal album of the year.

Join a conversation with Llewellyn Falco and our host Ryan Lockard about Learning and Habits. Llewellyn is an independent agile coach. He discovered strong-style pair programming which evolved into Mob Programming. He is creator of the open source testing tool ApprovalTests (approvaltests.com). He spends most of his time programming in Java and C# specializing in improving legacy code.He is also co-founder of TeachingKidsProgramming.org.
This show found its beginning in April 2017 at the Agile Alliance Technical Conference in Boston, MA. Llewellyn, Ryan and Arlo Belshee discussed the merits and neuroscience of human learning. Llewellyn is an avid student of learning and a great voice on these topics.
The conversation really shifts into the core topic when Ryan mentions the great book 'The Power of Habit' by Charles Duhigg. (If you have not read this book, you should consider picking it up). From here Llewellyn shares some personal lifehacks he has been experimenting with. The conversation then goes into how habits and learning can be effectively invoked in engineering, agile teams, or in human behavior in general.

We are very pleased to share this episode on Agile Architecture featuring the return of Martin Fowler and the first visit from Rebecca Wirfs-Brock. You can hear Martin’s first interview with us (as part of the Agile Manifesto Author project) here.
Martin is a friend of the Uprising podcast and more information about him is found in our previous post with him. Rebecca is a person Martin himself says helped sharpen his agile mindset and someone from which he draws inspiration. She is the inventor of Responsibility-Driven Design, the first behavioral approach to object design. She also wrote about object role stereotypes in 1992 in a Smalltalk Report article and this influenced the UML notion of stereotypes. Her invention of the conversational (two-column) form of use cases was then popularized by Larry Constantine. Most of the more recent "driven" design approaches acknowledge their roots and the influence of RDD.
In this episode, Martin quickly makes reference to an article he wrote for the IEEE Software magazine, which you can read here. Martin and Rebecca provide a very clear definition of what architecture is to start the conversation which then leads into an honest conversation about how architecture is defined in the product’s unique context. They also provide great insight into the dynamics of what can be and cannot be considered architecture, and how the definition is fluid based on the engineering context.
We discuss the impact of unit tests on architecture, and to what degree tests and emergence define architecture, vs. up front design.
We also discuss the importance of domain models, and who should be involved in the definition of the domain model – specifically the requirement that the business folks be in the conversation.
As the interview draws to a close, we discuss the importance of documentation in agile architecture. The discussion covers the “the code is the documentation” stance to more comprehensive documentation stances.
This interview took place in May 2017 and was hosted by Ryan Lockard (@AgilePHL)

In this live episode, recorded on location at the Agile and Beyond conference this week, our all-star cast tackles the topic of Imposter Syndrome:
Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon or fraud syndrome) is a concept describing high-achieving individuals who are marked by an inability to internalize their accomplishments and a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud". The term was coined in 1978 by clinical psychologists Pauline R. Clance and Suzanne A. Imes. Despite external evidence of their competence, those exhibiting the syndrome remain convinced that they are frauds and do not deserve the success they have achieved. Proof of success is dismissed as luck, timing, or as a result of deceiving others into thinking they are more intelligent and competent than they believe themselves to be. Some studies suggest that impostor syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving women.
~ source: wikipedia
Join our guests listed below, as they have a very honest and vulnerable discussion about the reality of imposter syndrome, and how it effects them. Also, how they view imposter syndrome negatively effecting the agile community at large.

Thank god Jeff Gothelf became a broke musician :-). Being fed up with his music career, Jeff entered the world of user design and set forth his journey of discovery of Lean UX and product discovery. Jeff is the author of the industry groundbreaking books Lean UX and his latest work Sense and Respond.
Jeff spends a perfect amount of time speaking with Colleen Johnson and Andrew Leff about shifting from outputs to outcomes - one of his core principles in product discovery. Jeff describes outcome measures when teams begin to see shipping a feature as the beginning of the process. He posits that measures do not have value until you shift customer behavior.
Jeff describes the discovery phase as the catalyst for moving from doubt to certainty. And is realized when we work in small batches and remove waste; but with a humble reality we might be wrong.
Jeff also spends time discussing the intent of Roadmaps vs. financial planning, and how both have value but are not synonyms.
Jeff also mentions his talk "Scaling the values", you can find links to these talks below:
You can find Jeff all over the place, but specifically:

Unfortunately, our interview with Ken fell through. Ken was very kind to offer time to sit with us, but due to multiple factors outside of his control, and conflicting schedules, we are deferring to publishing a mashup of interviews Scrum.org recently published on youtube - published with permission.
While there was a strong desire to sit with Ken, we are most interested in sharing his story which this show does. We are also very happy to share the paper that Ken wrote and presented (famously) in the 1995 OOPSLA conference in Austin, Texas
You can find the article at this thread on the Coalition.
We hope you visit scrum.org, and consider following them on twitter, Ken on twitter, Dave West on twitter, and Eric Naiberg on twitter.
