I had a great time meeting a bunch of cool Agilists at the Agile Boston meeting on this past Wednesday night.  I had a chance to present on a topic I am particularly passionate about: Agile Metrics and Diagnostics.

The pdf of the presentation can be found here:

I had a great time presenting at the SQAA-OC in Irvine on Tuesday (5/18).

Here are copies of the slides: QA The Agile Way

I just got back from the Rochester PMI Chapter’s Professional Development Day. I must say I was very impressed with the organization of the event, the number of participants (over 250) and the level of interest. Both sessions of mine were filled up. Thanks to everyone who attended. As promised, I have posted a copy of my deck here

Techniques for Agile Project Managers - This presentation has some introductory content and then discusses some of the key practices needed to help a team self organize and be effective.

Well, it’s been a marathon weekend with back to back sessions at the SNEC and Mass Bay PMI Chapter’s professional days. I’ve always enjoyed these sessions and these two were no exceptions. I got to have some intriguing conversations and meet many interesting people. In an effort to not overwhelm people’s in-boxes, I deemed it prudent to post my slides here rather then distribute them in emails. more »

Thanks to everyone from the Mass Bay PMI Chapter for coming to see me speak about Agile in the Enterprise. It was a great discussion and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have made my slides available from tonight’s presentation, they can be downloaded here.

Also, several people expressed some interest in local Agile groups so that they could learn more. I would point out three specific ones that have monthly meetings and support vibrant communities of both learners and practitioners:

• Agile Bazaar
• Agile Boston
• Nashua Scrum Club

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
