Shift: From Product To People: A Novel About Product Development, and Shifting to People To Achieve a Holistic Agile Transformation is a new book written by Michael Dougherty and Pete Oliver-Krueger that focuses on shifting the Agile mindset away from a product-centric approach and towards a more a people-centric one. This interview centers around the need for collaboration, the impact of AI on Agile practices, and the significance of creating a humane work environment. The authors also highlight the role of mentorship in personal growth and the future of work in an AI-driven landscape. They also share some of the challenges they faced during the four and a half years of writing the book, the narrative style that allows for multiple perspectives, and the importance of real-life experiences in connecting with readers.

Send us a message! Really!This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, new polling shows Americans are already sick of Trump 2.0; will shutting down FiveThirtyEight so nobody can get a good polling average help or hurt the 45th and 47th president and his flagging ratings? The White House is controlled by Republicans. The senate is controlled by Republicans. The House of Representatives is controlled by Republicans. The New York Times asks, 'Why won't Democrats stop the government shutdown?' Next, there is some real pain in store for the constituents of our favorite bread sandwich from Colorado's 3rd congressional district; will Rep. Jeff Hurd stand with the tens of thousands of people in his district who have healthcare because of Medicaid expansion, or will he side with Elon Musk and Donald Trump to kick them off their insurance and doom their rural hospitals to bankruptcy? Finally we check in with the most anti-family political party in the country, the Colorado GOP. But first...he was the first officially announced candidate for Colorado Attorney General! He's also the Boulder County District Attorney, and a former deli worker otherwise known as Colorado's Harvey Dent (but with just the one face). Michael Dougherty joins us to talk about his campaign to be the state's top cop in 2026.

Global Agile Summit Preview: Transforming Conflict into Opportunity, Leadership Lessons for Agile Teams with Eagan Rackley In this BONUS Global Agile Summit preview episode, we sit down with Eagan Rackley, the track host for the developer track at the Global Agile Summit. With over 24 years of experience spanning game development, enterprise architecture, graphics, and highly parallel programming, Eagan shares his journey from viewing leadership as control to seeing leadership as a collaborative space for problem-solving. We explore how to transform conflict into opportunity, align cross-functional teams, and lead effectively both with and without formal authority. The Moment That Changed Everything "The obstacle is the path." When Eagan's small experimentation-focused team merged with marketing, tensions flared and conflict erupted. Both sides believed "they don't get it" and adopted a defensive "protect the castle" mentality. The situation devolved into heated exchanges until an agile coach offered a perspective-shifting insight: they were all on the same team.  This moment fundamentally reshaped Eagan's view of leadership. He realized that effective leadership isn't about knowing all the answers or controlling people—it's about creating space for collaboration and helping people solve problems together. The best leaders don't fix everything themselves; they empower their teams to find solutions collectively. Empowering Teams Through Permission and Alignment "It's about getting people to feel that they have permission to do what needs to be done." When teams feel something is happening to them, they often disengage and resist. Eagan explains that people feel powerless primarily when incentives are misaligned. The key to gaining buy-in is shifting the narrative from "this is happening to me" to "we can do this together."  Leaders should focus on removing tension and finding ways to incorporate seemingly contradictory goals. By giving people permission to take action and aligning their incentives, leaders can transform resistance into engagement and ownership. Turning Conflict into Alignment "We need to accept that we have different perspectives and different ways to see success." Cross-functional teams naturally experience tension due to differing priorities and success metrics. Eagan shares how his team transformed their marketing conflict by asking questions that made both sides feel heard and understood. They established a shared way of working that respected everyone's needs. He recommends three powerful questions to align teams: "Why do we exist as a team, and why does it matter?" - This helps everyone see the whole picture and builds shared purpose. "What is our desired outcome, and when have we achieved it?" - This focuses on outcomes rather than tasks and encourages thinking from different disciplinary perspectives. By acknowledging different perspectives and naming conflicts openly, teams can move from resentment to motivation and investment in shared goals. Conflict as a Tool for Transformation "Conflict is information. Conflict is data." Eagan's relationship with conflict transformed when he began seeing it as valuable information rather than something to avoid. Conflict provides clarity between people and highlights areas needing attention. He shares how, after years in leadership, he intentionally stepped back into an individual contributor role to learn a new industry. This experience reinforced his belief in the power of approaching conflict with the mindset that "we're on the same team, we can solve this together." This perspective shift embodies what makes Agile so powerful—moving from focusing on products to prioritizing people. In this segment, we refer to the book Shift: From Product to People, by Michael Dougherty, and Pete Oliver-Krueger, who've been guests on the podcast before. And we also refer to the Ratatouille Principle, which reminds us that great ideas can come from anywhere! Leading Without Authority "You lead with trust, not knowledge." When Eagan returned to an engineering role in a new industry, he experienced the challenge of having no built-in credibility or authority. This taught him valuable lessons about bottom-up leadership. He discovered that effective influence comes from building trust first, not from demonstrating knowledge.  He recommends validating people's frustrations, listening authentically, and sometimes allowing people to learn through their own experiences. This approach recognizes that leadership isn't confined to formal roles—we're all leaders in different contexts. Resources for Your Leadership Journey Eagan recommends several resources for those wanting to deepen their leadership skills: "Management 3.0" by Jurgen Appelo "Agile Retrospectives" by Esther Derby and Diana Larsen The "Change by Attraction" podcast The Value of the Global Agile Summit The Global Agile Summit offers a unique environment where transformative "aha!" moments happen. It's not just about learning new techniques but about fundamentally changing how we think about work, leadership, and collaboration. Eagan believes these perspective shifts are what make the summit so valuable. About Eagan Rackley Eagan Rackley is the track host for the developer track at the Global Agile Summit and a seasoned software engineer and Agile leader with 24+ years of experience spanning game development, enterprise architecture, graphics, and highly parallel programming. A passionate problem-solver, he excels in building collaborative teams, driving innovation, and turning conflict into opportunity. He thrives on creating software that empowers people and transforms ideas into impact. You can link with Eagan Rackley on LinkedIn.

Global Agile Summit Preview: How to Escape the Agile Doom Loop with Pete Oliver-Krueger and "Agile Mike" Dougherty In this BONUS Global Agile Summit preview episode, we explore the concept of the "Agile Doom Loop" with Pete Oliver-Krueger and Michael "Agile Mike" Dougherty, co-authors of "Shift: From Product to People." They share insights on recognizing when teams are stuck in endless cycles of planning, failure, and rework, and introduce their PAGES framework that helps teams break free and communicate effectively with leadership. Recognizing the Agile Doom Loop "When change doesn't happen and there is nothing that seems to go anywhere, that's when you know you're in that doom loop, because we're all about improving." The Agile Doom Loop is that dreaded feeling when teams get stuck in endless cycles with no real progress. Michael explains that a clear indicator is feeling "stuck in a rut" where the status quo becomes permanent. When teams are constantly planning and executing without seeing improvement, they're trapped in the loop. This often happens when organizations lack psychological safety, making people afraid to speak up or try new approaches because it might be "career limiting." Warning Signs Your Team is Stuck "Most teams can't tell me what leadership wants. They're like, 'Oh, we just have to get the product done' or 'We have to deliver by this particular date.'" Pete shares that when teams can't articulate what leadership truly wants, it's a warning sign. Teams stuck in the doom loop focus solely on delivering more stories without understanding the broader context or purpose. They don't track whether their improvements are actually solving problems that matter to leadership. When teams feel they have no choice but to follow orders without questioning, they've lost the agency needed for continuous improvement. Personal Experiences with the Doom Loop "I've been fired for trying to change things more than once." Both Pete and Michael share personal experiences with the Agile Doom Loop. Michael shares the story of being in environments where people were afraid to be visible during meetings, keeping cameras off during virtual sessions out of fear of judgment. He describes seeing teams resist new ideas unless they came from management, showing how hierarchical thinking reinforces the doom loop. Communication breakdowns between leadership and teams create disconnects that feed the cycle of frustration and stagnation. The PAGES Framework "We basically took what we have to put in these quarterly business reviews and said to teams: 'This is how you're being represented at the organizational level, so you should participate in this.'" Pete introduces their PAGES framework, which helps teams break out of the doom loop by teaching them to communicate in "leadership language." While the acronym doesn't appear explicitly in their book, all elements are present. The framework focuses on: Problems being solved Actions being taken Goals being pursued Evidence being collected Solutions that demonstrate value This approach bridges the communication gap between teams and leadership by creating a shared language focused on business outcomes rather than just activities. Implementing PAGES for Team Motivation "We can't boil the ocean. With 500 people, it's hard to change all at once, so we started with one team that became the catalyst." Michael explains their implementation strategy of starting with a single team and using their success to spread change organically. By creating metrics and dashboards that leadership could access in real-time, they reduced the need for constant status meetings. Leadership could see progress happening, which built trust and created space for teams to work more autonomously. The result was a shift from delays and frustration to timely delivery of what truly mattered to customers. One Tip to Start Right Away "My first tip would be to go Problems first. Think about what problem you want to see go away and don't introduce anything unless it's going to directly affect that problem." Pete recommends focusing on problems before solutions, particularly identifying recurring patterns that prevent teams from achieving goals. He suggests prioritizing problems and addressing them one by one, starting with problems the team cares about to build buy-in, then tackling leadership problems. This creates a virtuous cycle of solving team and leadership problems alternately, building trust and momentum. Michael adds that building trust is essential - find low-hanging fruit that shows quick wins, share relevant stories from past successes, and collect evidence that demonstrates progress. He references the book "Atomic Habits," suggesting teams should start small with changes that are easy to maintain rather than attempting massive transformations that might overwhelm them. In this segment, we refer to the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. About Pete Oliver-Krueger and "Agile Mike" Dougherty Pete Oliver-Krueger is an Executive Coach with the Library of Agile, and co-author of the book "Shift: From Product to People", a novel that tells the complex story of how leading "people-first" is required to solve tomorrow's biggest problems.

In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we're going to deck the halls, jingle some bells and protect the herd as we review the 2015 holiday horror film “Krampus”…  Music courtesy of Andrew Scott Bell and Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio For more Rewind of the Living Dead, visit our website or follow on social media:https://www.rewindofthelivingdead.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/rewindofdeadFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rewindoflivingdeadInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rewindoflivingdead/

An Episode That Unwraps the Dark, Autistic Charm of KrampusHere's what's in store for today's episode: * Our hosts, Matt and Angela, kick off this episode by looking back on the tumultuous year of 2024—highlighting challenges like health emergencies, unexpected relocations, and the transitions that accompanied them.* Next, we delve into the origins of Krampus—the shadowy counterpart to Santa Claus—who intriguingly exhibits some distinctly autistic traits.* Krampus can be seen as something of an autistic icon, as he shares a common dislike for the chaos of the holidays—such as loud noises, disruptions to routines, surprises, and sudden changes in plans—much like many autistic individuals.* Matt and Angela take a moment to explore autistic-coded (and explicitly autistic) Halloween media, such as Dead Like Me and Trick 'r Treat, which serves as a perfect segue into their discussion about Krampus.* Michael Dougherty's 2015 film Krampus centers around a boy from a dysfunctional family who, in a moment of frustration, wishes to be rid of them. Krampus hears his wish and descends upon the family, unleashing havoc and terror to teach them a dark and twisted lesson about the importance of holiday spirit and unity.* We touch on other autistic holiday icons, like the Grinch, who struggles with social interactions and sensory overload, and Charlie Brown, an autistic character navigating the holidays, written by an autistic man.* We discuss Christmas movies that aren't technically Christmas movies but incorporate Christmas elements and themes—like Die Hard, Home Alone, and Gremlins. We also dive into the iconic Christmas film Violent Night, starring David Harbour, exploring its unique take on holiday storytelling and its blend of action, humor, and festive spirit.* Our hosts delve into Christmas's origins as the Feast of Saturnalia in ancient Roman times and explore how ghost stories have long been a cherished part of early Christmas traditions.* Matt and Angela dive into a discussion about Charles Dickens, why he sucks, and why The Muppet Christmas Carol stands out as the superior adaptation of the classic holiday tale.* Winter and Christmas are, both metaphorically and literally, the darkest season. To counter this, we bring in light—stringing up festive lights, visiting Christmas displays, and celebrating brightness in the midst of the darkness. However, the dark side of Christmas absolutely deserves to be seen and acknowledged, as it provides essential balance and depth to the season's narrative.* Finding moments of happiness during this season can be both challenging and meaningful. There's value in embracing the season's darker aspects: revisiting ghostly tales, enjoying eerie holiday films, and acknowledging the shadows that make the light shine brighter.“Look, some years you need to be able to say, ‘Well, I might be home alone and depressed this Christmas, but at least I'm not being dragged off, beaten with birch sticks, and taken to hell. Even though it might feel that way sometimes.” - Angela“Krampus tells you all kinds of stuff. You just have to have the spirit of Krampus within you.” - Matt“That's the thing, you know - Christmas happens during the Winter Solstice, during the longest, darkest nights of the year. When all hope seems lost, the crops are dead, and the world is incredibly cold and unforgiving. And, if you go outside, you might die. You might legit die.” - Matt“[Fighting the darker side]… that's a big thing for us autistics because a lot of us face these struggles - especially when it's promoted as, you know, everybody's having a great time, everybody is happy. No, no, we are fighting our way through the darkness. We are fighting our way through the winter.” - Matt In this episode, we explore navigating the holiday season as an autistic person, touching on sensory-friendly strategies, embracing the darker side of Christmas traditions, and celebrating iconic autistic-coded holiday characters like Krampus and the Grinch.

While the group praises the film's practical effects, particularly the unforgettable creature in "The Crate," they express some reservations about the pacing and Stephen King's acting chops.Next up is Rusty Cundieff's Tales from the Hood, a film that boldly tackles social issues like police brutality and the crack epidemic through a horror lens. The panelists commend the film's ambition and powerful messages, while acknowledging its technical shortcomings. The conversation delves into the effectiveness of horror as a vehicle for social commentary and the challenges of balancing scares with thought-provoking themes.Finally, the group wraps up with Michael Dougherty's Trick ‘r Treat, a film they praise for its intricate storytelling and clever use of practical effects.

The residents (Anna Paquin, Brian Cox, Dylan Baker) of a small town face real ghosts and goblins on Halloween.

Christmas in July continues, as we jump into the most authentically holiday-themed horror movie of the genre!

Rundown -   Intro - 00:26   Boulder DA Michael Dougherty and Ryan Brackley, Esq. - 03:40   Outro - 56:47   Craigs' Colorado Corner reconvenes the Centennial State's best panel show to analyze Donald Trump's trials again. NY v. Trump goes to the jury!! Boulder DA Michael Dougherty and Ryan Brackley are outstanding legal guests. Both served over a dozen years in the Manhattan DA's Office and rose high. They know Josh Steinglass and Susan Hoffinger.   What about Donald Trump's contempt for the process? Is Trump sleeping? How has Judge Merchan performed? What about Manhattan juries? How do they differ from Denver or Boulder? Michael Dougherty is DA for Colorado's 20th Judicial District. https://bouldercounty.gov/district-attorney/   Ryan Brackley is a native New Yorker who started as a prosecutor in Manhattan, moved to Boulder to be Stan Garnett's #2 and then to Denver to become #2 under DA Beth McCann. Now, he's an accomplished criminal defense attorney. https://brackleylaw.com/   Michael Dougherty used to run over the Brooklyn Bridge to work for former Manhattan DA Cy Vance. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has consulted with Dougherty over important law enforcement matters. That proud, prestigious prosecutorial office has a family feel and New York v Trump may be its biggest case. https://www.michaelforboulderda.com/   Is there a threat to the rule of law? How did Judge Mershan and the attorneys perform? What will be the verdict? Was there a fair trial? Are these charges fair? Why did the prosecution not seek to admit Trump's out-of-court statements during the trial, where Trump was offering inconsistent defenses and belittling the process?   How and why is New York law different from Colorado and other jurisdictions? Why does the defense go first in closing arguments? Why read the instructions “after” closing arguments and why can't the jury possess a copy to the jury room? What's with all the readback of cold transcripts by court reporters generally ill-prepared for the task?    Why is Juror #1 the foreperson? All these things are so different in Colorado. The parties and lawyers are required to stay at the courthouse. Can there be a worse job than being the person in the waiting room with the defendant? All these things are so different in Colorado.    The panel discussed the jury questions and requests for readbacks on their first day of historic deliberation. Brackley and Dougherty are superb panelists with great experience and perspective to analyze New York v. Trump. Give it a listen. This show will stimulate your mind.

THE ONE MOVIE YOU CAN USE THE "FOR THE FANS" ARGUMENT FOR! Legendary kept us all waiting with baited breath to see what would come next for everyone's favorite irradiated lizard after the monumental success of Gareth Edwards' 2014 reboot. Unfortunately, it would take another five whole years to see the fruits of their labor, especially with Edwards stepping off and longtime Godzilla fan Michael Dougherty. This film sought to bring in more Toho monsters, classic themes, bigger monster fights, more world-building, everything you could want in a sequel. What resulted was arguably the most divisive entry in the MonsterVerse, with many loving the film for what it is, while others find the flaws too glaring to ignore. So, after five more years for the dust to settle, how does this monster mash hold up? Come watch with Brian and Alec to find out as they continue the Godzillathon with the one of the biggest entries yet - Godzilla: King of the Monsters!
