During this special Valentine's Day episode Lyssa Adkins, Debbie Madden, Brad Stokes, Troy Lightfoot and Andy Cleff have a lively panel discussion on how they use their agile mindsets, those values and beliefs - in their daily lives:
- With their partners
- Their children
- On Thanksgiving and Christmas
- But, alas not with their pets. (Would have given agility training for fido a whole new meaning!)
Nothing was off the table… well, maybe some things… they kept the episode SFW as they took Software Development out of the Manifesto...
And shared how they apply the guiding principles outside of the team room.

This week's episode features special guest Troy Magennis and host Paul Elia on the topic of Forecasting.
"Forecasting is about answering the right questions, to a transparent degree of certainty, with as little effort as possible." - Troy Magennis, CEO, Focused Objective
This said, Troy has spent considerable effort making the job of forecasting easier for the rest of us! On his company's website there are a number of free tools and spreadsheets to model scenarios ranging from classical project management to Scrum and Kanban.
In our discussion we explore the top three mistakes that people make when forecasting and what can be done to mitigate problems.

If someone stole your wallet, you'd notice it. So why don't people notice when they are robbed of something much more valuable than their wallet - time? Join Dominica DeGrandis as she chats with host Colleen Johnson on how to make visible - and reduce - the churn and burn that is creating a workforce constantly on the edge of burnout.
The technology world - and indeed the whole business world - is moving at a pace faster than ever before, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Instead of consigning ourselves to the pressure cooker of the modern world, it's time to elevate how we work. It's time to level up our game. It's time to make work visible.

In his first book, Turn the Ship Around! David Marquet described his experiences as captain aboard the nuclear submarine USS Santa Fe. When he took command, the ship was, how shall we say… “underperforming”
However, after one year, Santa Fe was recognized as the most improved ship in the fleet. In less than two years she shed her infamy as the worst boat in the navy and started winning awards as the best ship in her class.
Captain Marquet has released a new workbook to help others apply the framework he developed over those years of experimentation to their own organizations - to build highly effective communities based on personal responsibility and trust.
Leadership is not for the select few at the top. In highly effective organizations, there are leaders at every level.

Lyssa Adkins joins hosts Andrew Leff, Chris Murman, and Andy Cleff for a wonderful discussion about agile and mindfulness. We explore how the combination contributes to a practice of building meaningful human relationships and liberating organizational potential.
Yep, it can be a tall order to provide service of meaning and purpose; and showing up in the here and now is integral to our success as coaches, practitioners, and partners in change (and in marriage as Lyssa shares...)

This week, our guests are Carmen Medina and Lois Kelly.
Together they have started a movement: Rebels at Work - which has the goal of empowering people to create change and find more meaning in work.
We discuss the curse of organization silence. An observation that people in all kinds of jobs at all kinds of workplaces reach a point where they want to say, 'Enough.' They have the same uncomfortable realization: 'I should do something about this.' Yet many remain silent and don’t bring ideas forward.
Lois and Carmen share a number of ways to find your voice, and speak up to challenge what no longer works and lead change - whatever one’s position.
