We are so excited that Christopher Cunningham is joining us for the FOURTH time on Saints Unscripted!! Every time Christopher has come, we have learned something new and this time is no different. Today, Christopher talks about expressive individualism. Expressive individualism talks a lot about the self-- being ourselves, finding ourselves, being true to ourselves. Does expressive individualism fit in the context of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Does this world view deny the teachings of the church or can the two coincide? Christopher shares his beliefs on the topic and we're certain you will learn something new! Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

If you haven't been in a faith crisis, it's very likely that one day, you will. A faith crisis is where you come across facts or opinions that challenge your faith, bringing you to question your beliefs and doubt everything you once knew to be true. Guess what? Going through a faith crisis is NORMAL. But it can be scary, frustrating, and confusing. How do you navigate the questions while also trying to hold fast to your testimony? Is it possible to have doubts yet still want to believe? YES. In this episode, we brought Christopher Cunningham to help us determine how to approach doubts. Christopher is a Senior Religion Writer and his publications can be found all over the internet (links to specific places below). We ask, "What can we do when we come across negative (often called 'anti-Mormon') content about the Church?" Christopher has become very familiar with the concerns against the Church and through his study, he's been able to see the Church in the most positive possible light. He's also been able to help others understand the difficult aspects of the Church without having to leave the Church and even increasing their testimonies. Have you ever gone through a faith crisis?

Agile development has imprinted solid mark in the software development in last 5-6 years. There is a jump from fringe to the mainstream, and the claim of "We are Agile!" is truer at this time in the teams while it wasn't back in 2010. The Agile Manifesto was written by a group of software developers for their use. Many of the underlying principles of a framework like Scrum assume the existence of an in-house team and working for the business that employs them. There is a strong argument for "Agile Methodology is easier in the settings where you have all the control. Adhering to agile frameworks such as Scrum is more difficult within an agency/consulting structure than it is for an in-house development team especially with the client who understands fixed costs, fixed deadlines, and fixed bid contracts." On this notion, Atish Narlawar speaks with Christopher Cunningham, a Group Technology Director at Huge, to understands "Does Agile works in the client engagements?" and what are the factors which play a significant role to make it happen. They start the discussion by going through the factors which have changed in the engagement following Agile process. Chris mentions the importance of a shared language which plays a significant role to create a shift where agencies and client services pushing Agile with their customers. This change has worked with a positive note as agencies started to spend more time delivering excellent products, and less time arguing over out-of-date functional specs. Infact he thinks clients are also requesting and even demanding agile practices from their agencies. Chris mentions even though some contracts bound with a deadline and fixed costs but there are better ways to get overcome with this, and the best way is to get rid of the fear of uncontrolled cost with the clients. With the combination of informed decisions, tangible results, waste reduction, risk transparency and time to market Agile can certainly give enough ammunition to influence customers and build the trust. With delivering a fully-working product at every milestone, Chris mentions agile expects more involvement from the clients at every step, and corporate companies responded to this need with the positive note. On the reporting side, Agile driven burn down charts, sprint velocity and points breakdown offers the better way of tracking the progress, identifying the impediments than traditional metrics. Christopher also notes that within an enterprise environment, Agile methodology is restricted to the software development teams. Other parts of an engagement like business, approval workflows and delivery management still go through traditional way, and that's one of the main reason the clients are not able to leverage the full Agile potential. He predicts there will be a positive change in upcoming days and companies will experience company-wide adoption. Podcast: Tech Time Podcast Venue: Brooklyn, NY.
