Working with the PMI Agile Virtual Community, I recently dabbled with publishing a presentation as a video with a voice over. This is a pecha kucha (20 slides advancing every 20 seconds) that I presented at the PMI Global Congress. I hope you enjoy.

I recently spoke at the two Agile Journal Events; one in Boston and one in Newark and I spoke as the keynote about Agile Software Development and how there is so much more value to it than just turning out software faster, cheaper and with less defects.

There really is a lot of say about this, and I intend to write more,  but for now I wanted to make my presentation available. It can be downloaded here: Agile Beyond Faster, Cheaper and Less Defects

Thanks to everyone who came to see my presentation at the Agile 2009 Conference. Here is a link to the slides for anyone wishing to get a copy: http://www.bigvisible.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Loss-Aversion-Slides.pdf.

This was my first time attending one of the annual Agile conferences. while I didn’t have a clear expectation of what it would be like, I have come out a bit exhausted and quite impressed overall. The size and number of presentations aside, I was most struck by a feeling that I think Alistair Cockburn best encapsulated in his key note address, “I come to bury Agile, not Praise it“. A reference to Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, he explained it as the recognition of an inflection point. That the values & practices we call “Agile” aren’t really so distinct anymore. more »

I apologize for the delay in posting this presentation. Here is the third, and final presentation we offered at the Mass Bay Professional day on May 2nd. Presented by Giora Morein, it is focused on the challenges an organization faces as they try to grow an Agile initiative beyond a single team.

This Saturday, Giora and I were invited to speak at the Massachusetts Bay PMI Chapter’s professional day. Thanks to everyone who contributed to a great dialog about Agile and project management. I have included the two of the presentations we went through and hopefully we’ll have the 3rd one out shortly.

This Friday I had the opportunity to speak at the Southern New England Chapter of the PMI. I would like to thank the chapter for the invitation and everyone attending my session for the lively discussion. I have posted the slides for any who may be interested.
