Listen Later

For this episode, Jon (@WaterScrumBan) and Brett (@brett_palmer) find themselves reminiscing about their trip to Indianapolis for Agile Coach Camp last September 26-28, 2014. There they met Bryan Beecham (@BillyGarnet) of Iceberg Ideas and Mike Bowler (@Mike_Bowler) to discuss the following topics:

  • Using LEGO to teach technical topics – Mike has begun posting some of the LEGO exercises for teaching TDD and other XP principles on his site at gargoylesoftware.com. Brett referenced Rory (Story) Cubes and Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great by Diana Larsen and Ellen Grove. Bryan paraphrased Kent Beck from Extreme Programming Explained: Embrace Change.
  • Continuous Learning – Learn as fast as possible, not even build as fast as possible. Fifth Discipline identifies learning as a competitive advantage.
  • Human Measurement and new technologies – Bryan swears by his Moto 360 watch, and he blogs about software craftsmanship and the human body at humanrefactor.com.

    • Bryan will be joining us at the upcoming Agile Coach Camp in Irvine, April 10-12. Will you? More info at AgileGathering.com.
