October 07, 2016Episode 116: The Heart of Modern Agile
Craig and Tony are sipping a sarsaparilla or two on a balcony in Brisbane and start trying to dissect the state and heart of modern agility:
You can trust the team if you listen to them
Keys to transformation is LLL – leadership, leadership, leadership
If you have Agile leaders maybe you don’t need Agile coaches
Craig and Renee’s talk “Coaching Nightmares: Lessons We Can Learn From Gordon Ramsay“
Heart of Agile by Alistair Cockburn – collaborate, deliver, reflect and improve
Agile is Dead (Long Love Agility) by Dave Thomas and the related YOW! Conference talk
Modern Agile by Joshua Kerievsky – also the original article and the keynote talk at Agile 2016 – make people awesome, deliver value continuously, make safety a prerequisite and experiment and learn rapidly
Survey to rewrite the Agile Manifesto (again)
Tony is a tenner – he believes in “simplicity is the art of maximising the amount of work not done”
Do we do enough as coaches to make our teams safe?
Agile Coaching Institute Competency Cohort program and Craig’s reflections on his year long journey
Constellations technique
Adaptive planning – responding to change over following a plan – we often still have “waterfall on a wall”
Tony is re-reading “Coaching Agile Teams” and Craig is re-reading “Disciplined Agile Delivery”
Craig has been elected to the Board of the Agile Alliance, and they have lots of useful initiatives

September 26, 2016Episode 115: Connecting Developers & Designers with Chris van Raay & Tom Brodhurst-Hill
At the YOW! Connected conference, Craig sits down with Chris van Raay and Tom Brodhurst-Hill and talks about bridging the gaps between developers and designers:
Chris van Raay talk “Bridging the Designer – Developer Divide“
Tom Brodhurst-Hill talk “Design Driven Mobile Development“
Typically most organisations have separated development and design teams which results in a very linear process
Need simple design documentation as a “single source of truth” because you shouldn’t need to specify styles more than once and it helps reduce effort and obtain a consistent design
Use tools such as PaintCode to create a colour palette which serves as documentation as well as a static analysis test
Need leadership to ensure there is an agreed approach, set the standards and create discipline
When building features need to decide when to leave work that is consistent across features, in relation to design, this should be a special amendment to the definition of done
Process can get in the way of achieving good things sometimes
Small thin slices do not work well for design, UX flow is the bare minimum you need, then you can have separate threads of development for front end and back end and evolve the app over time

July 31, 2016Episode 114: The Responsibility Process with Christopher Avery
Craig and a late-arriving and quietly spoken Renee talk to Christopher Avery, author of “Teamwork is an Individual Skill” and the visionary behind The Leadership Gift and The Responsibility Process, at Agile 2015 in Washington, DC:
Management science says that the problem of business performing highly and being profitable and people having a life at work are highly at odds with each other, Agile has challenged that
Organisational Agility and self organising teams have been around since the late 80’s / early 90’s
Keynoted the first combined XP / Agile Universe Conference in Calgary 2004
The Responsibility Process is now in 26 languages, including Klingon
The Responsibility Process is a naturally occurring pattern that occurs in our mind that shows how we respond to upset or frustration in ways that we either cope with it or take responsibility to learn and grow
Correlation between The Responsibility Process and the 7 stages of grief
You go through each stage, even if it is for a microsecond
The mental state of responsibility is available to you all the time
Listen for yourself saying “I have to…” then catch it and change it to a statement you are willing to own like “I am…” or “I choose…”
The Responsibility Process Game – each day score yourself for when you heard it, said it or caught it
Research started in 1984 and collected through participant observation and interaction
“The first job of a leader is to define reality” Max De Pree
First principle of leadership of The Responsibility Process – “No group in an organisation will consistently operate at higher levels of responsibility than the people to whom they report”
The Leadership Gift program for individuals via christopheravery.com and corporate solutions as well via Partnerwerks
The Responsibility Process book (coming soon)

July 29, 2016Episode 113: GreenHopper Handyman Folio with JC Huet
Craig and Renee, sitting on the banks of the Potomac River on a sunny but slightly windy day at Agile 2015, they catchup with JC Huet, creator of GreenHopper (renamed to JIRA Agile and post-podcast now JIRA Software) and Tempo Folio:
Craig was apparently the first client of GreenHopper that was built in a basement, now JIRA Agile is the most popular JIRA add-on with over 500,000 users, used by more than 80% of JIRA users
the idea was to have a tool that brought bugs into software management
the name GreenHopper represented the Green company branding at the time, and Hopper was for cards hopping between columns
a shout out to our friend Nick Muldoon (who is now writing Atlassian plugins at Arijea)
Tempo Folio plugin is about supporting cost management, including time sheeting, estimation, forecasting and allocation
time and dedication and about three months is all it takes to create an Atlassian plugin (and JC challenges Renee to write her own WSJF plugin)
hippies, not EP’s!
versions on frameworks are good, means feedback changes are coming

July 05, 2016Episode 112: Inside Spotify with Anders Ivarsson
Renee and Craig are at the Agile Australia conference and talk to Anders Ivarsson, an organisational coach at Spotify, and learn some of approaches that make Spotify tick:
Agile Australia talk “Autonomy and Leadership at Spotify” and workshop “Organisational Improvement: Design-inspired Problem Solving”
Agile Coaches spend time with squads versus a new role of organisational coach that looks at the culture, ways of working, vision and systemic wastes
Spotify is not a model
Original Spotify scaling paper, never imagined the spread or the impact
Spotify have shared a lot of the things that have worked well, but they do also have challenges as well – one is alignment across teams as the organisation gets bigger so they have been working on visualisation and prioritisation
Spotify Culture videos (Part 1 and Part 2)
use microservices to ensure that the organisation can work in the way they want to work – great autonomy but a challenge in keeping a consistent design language and customer journey
Agile culture is spread throughout Spotify, use what works rather than one particular approach
The Oath of Non Allegiance
POTLAC – Product Owner / Team Leader / Agile Coach – leadership cell at Spotify
use internal blogging to share Agile approaches and patterns, started to recognise the value of story telling
Agile Product Management in a Nutshell video – Henrik Kniberg is a genius at making things simple and understandable
