Episode 28: Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls

IT in the D, Episode 28: Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls

We’re joined in-studio by our guests from Agile and Beyond, making a repeat appearance to talk about their conference coming up in a few weeks…and they’ve got a special offer for you.

So let’s go ahead and dive in…

IMG_20140203_230331_803Return guest Tom Churchwell and his partner in crime Jason Dinkelmann came in to talk Agile and Beyond.

Along the way we learned that Bob doesn’t understand how landmines work.  Or how hovercraft work.

We also talked about cops in Rome using Twitter to crack down on bad parking, why the Superbowl is everything wrong with business today, the ads from Coke and Chrysler that stirred up some controversy, a bunch of Kinect systems wired up in the DMZ between North and South Korea, a printing press seized in Quebec that was used to print millions of counterfeit $20 bills…and more.

But then we dove into what agile is.

Is it a methodology?  A way of life?

Is it for developers?  For project managers?

For the technical side?  The business side?

Apparently the answer to all of those is “yes”!  They’ve got more than 50 speakers covering multiple tracks, so it doesn’t matter if you’re a complete novice who doesn’t know the first thing about agile or a seasoned veteran, this is sure to be a great conference.  And to make it even better…
