I’ve been compiling notes over the years with thoughts and ideas about how I could contribute to the Agile community and try to give back just a small slice compared to what I’ve taken from it.
I decided recently to write a white-paper that describes the experience of the success of a pilot Agile team within [...]
8:15am – Ah, the end of a long week, I like to get in a bit earlier on Friday’s since it’s usually a pretty low-key day. No meetings, no training, just an opportunity to think and research.
After the usual checking the Agile support box and responding to email I start working on some Agile flash [...]
7:30am – I arrive at our head office early as I’m delivering a rather thorough 4-hour Agile introduction to 20 or so people. Since this is my 30th or so time delivering this at this company I’m into a good rhythm and getting here early just allows me to miss most of the morning traffic.
I [...]
Wow. Seriously, wow.
I’ve been staring at this one line post for about 10 minutes wondering how to better explain my euphoric state right now and “wow” seemed like the right word to start with.
Much like other folks who came here, I had heard great things about AYE and the notion was always that if you [...]
9:30am – Oops, overslept a bit, but yesterday was pretty busy so I’m glad I got some rest. I head over to the A/V room, grab a projector, stop at the cafeteria to grab some wake-up juice and then across the building for our retrospective and iteration planning.

I had talked to folks who previously attended and heard nothing but positive feedback and that this was one of the better conferences to attend if you were someone like me and weren’t able to make very many conferences [...]
9:15am – I arrive at the office, check my email and the general Agile support box. Our stand-up is happening soon so I login to our tool and check out the burndown and see what tasks are in progress.
10am – standup. The team wasn’t really happy about standing up at the standups from the get-go [...]
I thought it would be interesting to share a day-by-day rundown of what a typical week looks like for me. The names have been changed to protect the innocent (or guilty!) but the events and activities are literally what I do week to week.
A new article will be posted each day this week and I’ve [...]
Okay… time to wrap this thing up. If you missed any of the first three ‘Noodling on Kanban’ posts… I included links at the bottom of this one… just to make it easy on you guys 
There is clearly much more to this topic than I wanted to try and …
2008 was a good year for me, great work/life balance, obtained Certified Scrum Master designation and had a great year at Q4.
