Today’s podcast with Tony, Renee and Charles as our guest whilst Craig is furiously doing podcasts direct from Agile 2011, cover the following topics:
- Using Flow Kaizen to capture metrics from your visual board
- Silent Grouping when estimating stories
- 9 reasons Why Failure is Not Fatal
- PMOs – Some call them Project Management Offices; some Program or even Portfolio Management Offices. No matter what you call them do PMOs have a place in an Agile IT Organisation? What should a PMO not do? What should PMOs be focussed on? What does a truely Agile PMO behave like. This is such a complicated issue this might end up taking another look in the future but it is a great start of some of the common concerns.
