Gartner Mid Size Enterprise 2007 - Live Agile Project - Cyber Korp / Paul Smith
I recently attended the Gartner Mid-Size conference with Cyber Korp. Cyber Korp provides Agile Development, Delivery and Transformations to organizations. I helped them deliver a software project over two days of the conference using requirements that had been gathered from one of the IT executives at the conference. In this episode I speak with several folks from Cyber Korp and Paul
Smith of ATA Airlines about his experience participating in a Micro
Agile Project. Like so many of the Executives at the conference, Paul
had not been exposed to Agile Development before the conference. He
was a great customer and dove right into the 3x5 cards over breakfast
on the first day and was gracious enough to show up for two mini UAT
sessions where he got to give feedback and create new stories for the
backlog. Cyber had set up a Live Feed to their Agile Development Center in Chicago so that we could monitor progress and communicate with the development team there. Please enjoy the podcast. I had a great time chatting with Paul and the folks from Cyber Korp-bob

APLN 2006 - Pollyanna Pixton - Agile Leadership
If you have not heard Pollyanna Pixton you are in for a treat. Not only does she have the best Cold War Super Hero name of all the agilists she is a great speaker. Enjoy this presentation that she gave to the Washington DC APLN chapter last year.This has been sitting on my hard drive for a long time and it needed to get out. Please do not be confused about the her reference to the Agile Conference it is a reference to last years conference. The Leadership Summit did sell out and you can hear some of the sessions that I recorded and released last year.I hope to get 2006 fully published by the time the Agile2007 conference comes around. -bob payne
RailsEdge 2007 - Bruce William - His talks and the Ruby/Rails Community
I talked with Bruce Williams about the Ruby community near the Boulder, living in snow, the RailsEdge, Rails Plugins and UI Frameworks. We talked about the tools that are available to Ruby and Rails developers and how these combined with attitude within the community may have created the sweet spot that Rails now occupies. He also mentions that conferences should blur the line between speaker and attendee.Bruce is a great guy and I think you will enjoy this interview.- bob payne

He also looks at the coreprinciples and key practices of Agile software development.This Skypecast was hosted and arranged by Tim Haughton and had participants from around the globe.Enjoy.-bob payne
RailsEdge 2007 - Jim Weirich - Rake goodness
I spoke with Jim after his Rake Talk at the RailsEdge. If this is not your favorite build tool now it will be. Jim is the creator of Rake and RubyGems package management for Ruby. These two tools have made my life a lot easier and if you have not used them, then you are probably not using ruby. Jim talks about using Rake and db migrations with a recent java project. I also spoke with Jim about ruby test driven development. It was great to see someone do tiny step TDD in a presentation that was not an eXtreme Programming demonstration.Jim is the first of my guests to say "Your the AgileToolkit Guy ... I listen to the podcast!" or something to that effect. Thanks for the interview and for listening to my podcast Jim.Enjoy-bob payne
Agile 2006 - Ryan Martens - Founder & Chief Technology Officer of Rally
I spoke with Ryan about Rally software and the Eclipse plugin that they are releasing. We talk about the movement of teams from my favorite "Cards on a Wall" to the use of Rally for their planning and reporting. Ryan talks about his experience with the APLN Agile Leadership summit at the Agile 2006 conference. -bob payne
