At Agile 2013 in Nashville, TN, Craig catches up with his old friend Greg Smith (no relation), co-author of “Becoming Agile… In An Imperfect World” and Agile Coach at GS Solutions Group. Greg regularly assists Fortune 500 with their adoption of Agile and the quote of the podcast has to be “discipline or good software practices are proportionally inverse to how much money you make!”. Some of the topics of conversation were:

• Fire the client!
• The state of Agile in the United States
• Switch by Chip and Dan Heath
• The traditional practices are still important
• “Becoming Agile… In An Imperfect World” and what would be added if it were written in 2013

• Beyond Budgeting
• Collaboration Culture and Teams track at Agile 2013
• Story Mapping
• Lean UX by Jeff Gothelf
