Adam and I chat about the JavaScript, the federated wiki and a wide variety of topics as usual. Adam is one of the best coaches I have worked with and I always enjoy working with him.  He is now more in the trenches working with Industrial Logic.

Bob and I talk about his book and video casts of his work getting the code in clean and right.  Expanding his discussion of craftsmanship and the habits of coders that code clean.  He also discusses the 10 years of the manifesto and the growth of Agile.

He has become the steadfast protecter of purity of essence for a coding nation (please refer to Dr Strangelove if the preceding sentence confuses you).

I chat with Ward about the 10th anniversary of the Agile Manifesto and his newest wiki project.  The best conversation happened directly after the podcast as we discussed what an audio wiki might look like.  Sorry the bits were not rolling on the digital recorder.

Hope you enjoy this.

George and I discuss one of the most beneficial and underutilized Agile technique, Test Driven Development.  What can I say the data is in and you need to be doing this if you want to call yourself an Agile Engineer.

Ken and I talk about his ATDD book.  This is a topic that has been gaining a lot of traction in agile teams.  Acceptance Test Driven Development is a technique that some teams are using to improve quality and collaboration between business, testing and development.

Ken and I chat about the Product Owner roll and the complexity that can emerge when we ask too much of the product owner.  This has always been a key role and we have sometimes dode the project a disservice by focusing the PO on the needs of development.  This can sometimes create a situation where the PO is focused too much on User Stories and not enough on the product context and value.  

It has been quite a wihle since I have chatted with Ken and I look forward to chatting with him again.

In addition to the other large conferences that Ken will be speaking at he will also be a keynote at the AgileDC conference.

Kelly Allen is one of the foremost experts on Edward Deming.  I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with him.  We wander from measurement, punishment by rewards, human factors in organizations and organizational development to education.  Kelly is an engaging speaker and conversationalist.

I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I did.

George and I discuss the finer points of appropriatly sizing User Stories to ensure that they can be delivered.  This is a fairly tricky process and is best figgured out by experimentation and ensuring that you have good examples.
