New videos from Agile 2008 are still coming out. In this one, Robin Dymond gives an overview of Lean, how it can help take Agile to the ‘next level’ and why organizations that fail to change will not have successful Agile teams. Robin describes an organizational mismatch between traditional hierarchies and team structures. He believes that organizations will need to reorganize around teams to get the most out of Agile.

Posted by Christophe on November 14, 2008

In this interview made by Deborah Hartmann during the conference, Diana and Jim talk about patterns observed in CTOs’ activity. CTOs emerge as real people caring for other people in their organization, and are put under a lot of pressure and constraints.

David Anderson on “Future Directions for Agile”
Posted by Christophe on August 23, 2008
David Anderson (now president of Modus Cooperandi) is definitively one of the fresh minds in what some would call the “aging narrow minded agile movement”. He has been an active practitioner for years (sprint PCS/microsoft/corbis) and is talking the language of people that actually have to deliver value for their company.
In his presentation “Future Directions for Agile” at Agile 2008 he showed how kanban can serve to unify the agile and lean principles. He also called for stopping the Agile arrogance and offered to join forces with the CMMI folks to measure enterprise success.
