🎙️ Exciting news from Agile.FM. In my latest episode, we dive deep with the legendary Lisa Crispin, a pioneer in agile testing and co-author of several groundbreaking books in the field. Lisa brings her expertise right to your ears, discussing the critical role of quality from a customer's perspective in today's fast-paced software development environment. 🚀 For example, Lisa shares this nugget of wisdom as a glimpse of what you can expect in his episode: "Executives don't care about testing. They care about how well their product sells... Product quality and process product quality obviously affects that. And that's from a customer point of view. It's the customer who defines quality." 📚 Whether you're an agile testing newbie or a seasoned pro looking to refine your practices, this episode has actionable advice from Lisa, especially around integrating testing seamlessly throughout the development cycle, not just as an afterthought. 🔗 Tune in this episode for a journey through agile testing's evolution and learn how to better integrate these practices into your daily workflows. Don't miss out on this essential learning opportunity that can transform the way you and your team approach quality and testing! 👉 Listen now and let me know your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/e_tdgZpv #agile #AgileTesting #SoftwareDevelopment #AgileTransformation #ContinuousImprovement

A new http://www.agile.fm podcast episode hit the wire today! Often easier said than done, but "live each day to its fullest" often stays just a saying without deeper reflection. For Maureen McCarthy and Zelle Nelson on the other hand, it has a deep essential meaning because Maureen has lived for decades with a rare genetic lung disease, that leaves her with only 10% lung capacity. So they designed a relationship process called the "Blueprint of We" around their unique situation and relationship. They soon realized that this could be impactful for possibly anybody, including agile teams. Zelle: "There's at least three entities. There's you, there's me, and there's this third entity of we, and we need to give energy and understanding to how these all will work together." Maureen: "It's more recent research in social neural neuroscience that says when we're focused on a problem, our brain literally becomes tunnel vision." For example, you will hear in this episode that at least one of the two asks the other one, if they would still marry each other. That brings "closing a feedback loop" to a new level. But there is so much more to explore in this episode, I hope you will enjoy this one.

Maggie's thought-provoking evidence that being uncertain can be a powerful thing for organizations when it comes to focus, creativity, curiosity and also innovation. Hear what Maggie has to share about day-dreaming as well as AI in this episode. 🎤 "The world class leaders in AI are actually working feverishly to inject uncertainty in robots and models.” 🎤 "I think one of the things that leaders can do in the Agile Kata world is to change their vocabulary in and around words like maybe” Check out her book which got praise for example by Daniel Pink, Gretchen Rubin or Sherry Turkle. 📖 "Uncertain - The Wisdom and Wonder of Being Unsure" (https://lnkd.in/eyzebP7v) https://lnkd.in/e6fV5kiJ #agile #agilekata #podcast #agilecoach #agileleader #businessagility #scientificthinking Agile Kata Pro

The 10-week #agilekata series is coming to an end today. I had wonderful weekly guests from the #kata community join me and discuss various topics that relate to kata and scientific thinking on Agile.FM. The 10th episode is with Oscar Roche, a Training within Industry (TWI) trainer, and as you will clearly hear on this episode, also practitioner. Compared to other agile process frameworks, Agile Kata is not the goal of the journey, but marks the start instead. Oscar Roche: "It almost requires two views or two mindsets at the same time. One is I'm doing this work. The other is, I'm looking at this work from the outside, so I think that's difficult. I'm going to do two things. I'm going to do the work as per the standard, the way we do it today, but I'm also going to look at the way I do the work to see if I can, to see if what we predict is going to happen happens, and if it doesn't, then we've got to work on the difference and learn from that and make adjustments." Quick recap of the Agile Kata Series: # 10: Oscar Roche (https://lnkd.in/ebKUbUR8) # 9: Daniel Roman and Rich Sheridan (https://lnkd.in/eKcU4w4K) # 8: Mark Rosenthal (https://lnkd.in/ev5R2Tdf) # 7: betty gratopp and Jeffrey Liker (https://lnkd.in/eirkakzV) # 6: Tilo Schwarz (https://lnkd.in/em6YQRKs) # 5: Jeffrey Liker (https://lnkd.in/emtKsSXw) $ 4: Katie Anderson (https://lnkd.in/eUPVudVZ) # 3: Jim Huntzinger (https://lnkd.in/emH2n-Xd) # 2: Kelly Mallery (https://lnkd.in/e-tBZEgU) # 1: Melissa Perri (https://lnkd.in/eSBWtC-t) Back in 2022 I also spoke with Tracy Defoe (https://lnkd.in/eqpTB2sE) and Joe Justice (https://lnkd.in/eiedZJjn) who mentioned that he would introduce Agile Kata to Tesla if he did return to the carmaker.

The #agilekata series on Agile.FM continues. Today, I released an episode with Rich Sheridan and Daniel Roman that focuses on #kata as an alternative for #agile teams. To experience Menlo Innovations, you can visit the teams in Ann Arbor either in-person or online. And with some luck, you will hear the expression "Run the Experiment" and see one in action. One key take-away from this #podcast episode is to showcase #kata thinking not only for continuous improvement and cultural change, but also as a pattern for building the actual product. Therefore offering an alternative to #Scrum or #Kanban. Dan Roman: "When we're designing our process, we're setting out to solve a problem and our problem isn't that we're not doing agile. It's not that we're not doing scrum and we need to start doing scrum. We're trying to provide value to a customer on a frequent and consistent basis such that they can respond to feedback and make planning decisions... At the end of the day, it all starts from let's solve a problem and the absence of some predetermined process is not itself a problem." https://lnkd.in/eKcU4w4K #agileteam #agileteams
