The Agile Pubcast

Geoff and Paul get together in a lovely Olde English pub at the source of the River Thames in the Cotswolds to talk Product Ownership. Including a discussion and debate about different 3 letter acronyms, they moved on to discuss the different mindset and psychology behind the exploit and explore states of product development. Oh yeah - and they have merch now!

In the sixth episode of our Prestigious Pints series, Geoff Watts and Paul Goddard get together (virtually in lockdown) with one of their heroes and inspirations Nana Bambara-Abban.  Nana is an agile coach and influencer that came onto a course with Geoff & Paul some years ago, and he has since become a big part of the Agile in Africa movement.  Nana explains how he became involved in agile and why the African people have grasped the agile principles with such passion and energy.  Hopefully this conversation will leave you feeling inspired and positive, as that is exactly the effect that Nana has on both Geoff & Paul too!!Next month we have the agile legend that is Lyssa Adkins Hosted on Acast.

Oh what a special episode this is! The boys were back inside a real pub after a full day's fishing! So, to celebrate they had not just one drink but two while talking about what people look for from training and what they ultimately get. This led them on to self-discovery and then status - whether we have a bias for high or low status, whether certain roles are more high or low status and whether our job titles affect our perception of status.

Agile inspirations Mary & Tom Poppendieck discuss the impact of COVID on company agility, quality vs. craftsmanship in software engineering, and the true essence of Lean principles. They emphasize the importance of customer-centricity, swift adaptability, and asking good questions for innovation.

You've probably noticed our new logo - whaddaya think?And in other amazing news we got back into a real live pub! Well...outside a real live pub but that's still pretty cool, especially as the sun was out! In episode 116 we talked about the challenge of people keeping their cameras off when on work video calls. We hope you enjoy it! Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is an "Ask The Landlord" episode where we covered a question from one of our patrons about the speed of decisions. This led us to talk about precrastinators (like Geoff) and procrastinators (like Paul) and unconscious heuristics (or good old intuition as Paul calls it) before looking at Cynefin, decision fatigue and Paul crumbling under pressure on TV gameshows. Enjoy!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
