16: Spreading agile thinking, with Neil Killick

Under utveckling

Fredrik talks to Neil Killick about being agile and spreading agile thinking, especially within larger organizations. Defining what you mean with the term is just the beginning of the challenges. At the same time, when seen from a different perspective, it is much too easy to drill down into worrying about definitions and following things to the letter. We start with a good coffee and cover a lot of ground on the people side of software, from Srcum as intended to the horrible strawman called waterfall.

Feedback is always welcome, in fact this episode is all thanks to suggestions and connections provided by mattias on Twitter. Thanks, and keep it coming!
