ANDY CROWE ● BILL YATES ● NICK WALKER ● JOHN STENBECK NICK WALKER: Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers. It's an opportunity to meet and discuss what matters to you in the world of project management. Whether you are already a professional project manager or working toward certification in the field, our goal is to help you along the way. And we do that by keeping you up to date on the latest developments in the field, as well as hearing some real life stories from those who are making a difference in the industry. I'm your host, Nick Walker. And with me are two guys who make this all happen. They are our resident experts, Andy Crowe and Bill Yates. They have the experience of seeing project management from all angles, and they want you to benefit from their experience. Here we are again, guys. How's it going? ANDY CROWE: We're off to a good start, Nick. And I'm very excited about this particular podcast. We've got a good friend in the studio, as well. NICK WALKER: Yes. He is a heavy hitter, you might say. John Stenbeck is the president of Gr8pm, spelled G-R-8-P-M. He's the author of three books. He's a sought-after keynote speaker. He's been a guest on “Good Morning America,” “The Today Show,” “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” He's been featured on the front page of the Los Angeles Times. And just when we thought he couldn't reach any higher, he's a guest now here on Manage This. ANDY CROWE: All that, John, led you to this point. NICK WALKER: Okay. Andy, I know one of the reasons you're excited about having John with us is that his most recent book, John's recent book the “Agile Almanac” has been ranked the No. 1 bestseller in Agile's project management on Amazon.com, and No. 2 bestseller in project management overall, second only to the PMBOK Guide itself. ANDY CROWE: Excellent. And I got a chance to read the “Agile Almanac” before it was released. John was kind enough to share some of that with me. So great resource, a really, really good book. NICK WALKER: Now, John, I don't think you're going to be insulted when I tell you Bill here has described you as a “PMBOK nerd,” okay? But I think you're in good company. JOHN STENBECK: Fair enough. BILL YATES: Fair enough. Okay, good. NICK WALKER: He says that about himself, as well. BILL YATES: Yeah, I threw myself in the category. So that – don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. But here we are as PMBOK nerds. JOHN STENBECK: Probably all of the listeners are going to count themselves pretty close to that category, too; you know? BILL YATES: That's true. NICK WALKER: Well, you know, in past podcasts, we have talked a lot about Agile practices. And now that they're going to be in the PMBOK Guide, just give us an indication of how that's changing the world of project management. JOHN STENBECK: Well, you know, I think one of the big considerations is that it hasn't been since 1997, so we're talking 20 years since the last time something this magnitude happened with the PMBOK. Twenty years ago it was theory of constraints, Eliyahu Goldratt. There's nobody, you know, there's none of us PMBOK nerds who don't embrace that content that was added to the PMBOK back then. And I think that what we're going to see is a lot of this happening as the new edition of the PMBOK comes out. The funniest part of the whole thing for me is the number of PMPs who think they don't do Agile. In fact, you know, if you think back to the first time – and this may be too long ago for some of us. But the very first time you opened the PMBOK Guide, and you looked at it, and you said this is exactly how we talk now, right, that is just laughable. None of us talked that way before we learned the vocabulary. We behaved as project managers, we executed as project managers, but we didn't have that core vocabulary. So I think Agile's going to give us some richness, some additional vocabulary.
