Agile After Dark

Ever feel like you're just counting stats and looking at data because you think that's what you're supposed to do? Well stop it! We talk to one of GAW's favorite people, Kaili Barone, who sets the record straight on how we should be using data instead of data using us. Stop wasting your money and your time on things that your customers don't want (and while you're at it, focus on the product, not the project). You got this!

Our good friend Nitin Dhamija joins us in the Apollo 13 Agile After Dark Studio to discuss what the life of a developer is like. Beyond the norms of trying to avoid getting carpal tunnel, keeping up by eating snacks and Red Bull and having multiple projects on the on the side, we talk about Nitin's experience as a developer, and how we went from that to project management, to being a Scrum Master and eventually an Agile Coach. he has his cupcake and we have our drinks, so we're ready to go. Happy Deployment, mainframe machine! Happy Deployment, you wonderful old Product Manager!

We welcome back our special guests and the Agile After Dark Apollo 13 Studio Audience to ask some questions that aren't really about Agile, but we wind up talking about Agile anyway. That's just how Agilists role. It's a fun look at some of the personal perspectives of our guests all while Greg continues to try and find his way back to the heartland.

In this part of another special edition of Agile After Dark, we welcome our distinguished (and not graying) guests to take part in our Inside the Apollo 13 Studio show. We discuss how our guests got to where they are today and what about Agile has them continuing to keep up the good fight!

The Lando of Tech Coaches is in the house (remotely for our first shot at this) for an amazing podcast about how pair programming can swing teams in the right directions of cross-functional nirvana. Can managers and rock star developers get past developer monogamy and get truckin' to the good days for everyone on the team? We find out in this episode.

In this special edition of Agile After Dark, Greg and Brandon do their best to understand the DNA of large corporations and consulting firms. We discuss what makes them tick and how Agile can be part of that culture rather than a virus that gets attacked.

Are all great teams made up of the same types of people? How different are sports teams and Agile teams? Are there new types of Most Valuable Players on an Agile team, or even an organization? We wrestle with these and other questions all while trying to keep the new studio from falling apart around us.

We have a very special guest come on the show and set up straight on many things from Emotional Intelligence vs. Introversion, Innovation and measurement of strengths as individuals and team, not to mention getting into the future of performance management with Agile! We also sneak in some Greg's Rants.

We have our special guest Shaila Reddy in the studio to speak the truth about Agile Transformation. And she does it with style while trying to deal with a bit of an allergic reaction to the Agile After Dark Studio cat.

Jump to conclusions on the differences between being a consultant and a coach.We try something different and go with an Office Space theme to the podcast where we talk through the differences of being a consultant or a coach on a client engagement. Don't worry, we're not asking you to also come in on Sunday to work on your TPS reports.
