Why are product managers still using agile? Ah, Agile — the buzzword that just won't quit. It's been the darling of software development for years, promising flexibility, speed, and a better way to build products. But here's a cheeky thought…why are product managers still using Agile? Don't get me wrong, agility is essential. But sometimes, it feels like we're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, especially when it comes to product management. We continue to attempt to fit a delivery focused methodology into outcome-based work… and we seem to never learn our lesson. The limitations for Agile are prevalent for discovery, an overlooked part of product management for many years. How does agile help to support a workstream that is primarily focused on research? Can it?

In one of the most popular episodes of 2024, John Grant talks about how legal teams can adopt Agile and Kanban project management methodologies to optimize workflows, correct bottlenecks and increase client satisfaction. John is a lawyer and the founder of The Agile Attorney consultancy. As John explains, the traditional project management method is waterfall. A technique often used by technology companies, involving a sequential approach where each stage is dependent on the completion of the previous one. But John is a proponent of the newer, Agile methodology, which emerged from the software development community. It is a flexible approach where tasks are broken down into small increments with minimal planning, and processes are iterative. Agile is one of John's favorites because he believes it is well suited for legal work. John also talks about the value of a Kanban board, a visual tool used to manage work at various stages of a process. It typically includes columns such as “To Do,” “Doing,” and “Done”. So why is he so into project management methodologies? Because despite coming from a long line of lawyers, before he went to law school, he first worked in tech.

It feels as though there is a movement to apply agile development methodologies to analytics teams, both the data collection component and the analysis component.  What does this mean?  What is the driving force behind it?   What are the risks?  What are the benefits?  Does this strip out the curiosity that we want in analysts?  Does this remove any room to improvise or flexibility to address impromptu business questions or scenarios?  We talk about how analytics already doesn't have a seat at the “grown ups” table, does this exacerbate that problem?  Does it reduce the value of the analytics team to just tickets completed?   On this episode of the 33 Tangents podcast, Jason and Jim discuss what it means to apply the Agile development framework to the analytics team's processes and the pitfalls they've seen organizations encounter.  They weigh the pros and cons of Agile as it relates to an analytics program and the impact it could have.   THANK YOU We know your time is limited, so it means a lot to us that you would spend some of your time with us.

An opportunity to connect with John Miller of the Agile Classroom, a next-generation learning framework, with a student-centered approach, emphasizing collaboration, communication, self-organization, and social skills . We look at the Agile classrooms approach focusing on real-world approaches that the most innovative companies in the world use brought to a classroom setting. What the structures, workflows and pedagogic strategies for educators to consider when working with this framework.  About John Miller I had worked for years as an Education Technology Director for a school district, which as a whole, wanted to move towards integrating 21st century skills within the curriculum. But what we found was that we could not change the way students learn, without first changing and modeling these 21st-century skills in the staff and teaching methods themselves. Using Agile, I spearheaded an innovative and engaging way to organize workflows with self-managed teams and quick feedback, creating a healthy and productive workplace culture that allowed for growth and prosperity. John is a Certified Scrum Trainer, Certified Enterprise Coach®, Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, ICF Associate Certified Coach, Spiral Dynamics Integral Level 2, and a Project Management Professional. When not focused on work, John loves to surf (well, wiping out more than actually surfing), spend time with his family and 2 daughters, volunteer as a life coach for students, and make insanely delicious drinking chocolates.   John Miller on Social Media Twitter: @agileschools   Website: https://agileclassrooms.com/    John Mikton on Social Media LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jmikton/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jmikton Web: beyonddigital.org   Dan Taylor on social media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dantcz/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DanTaylorAE Web: www.appsevents.com   Listen on: iTunes / Podbean / Stitcher / Spotify / YouTube Would you like to have a free 1 month trial of the new Google Workspace Plus (formerly G Suite Enterprise for Education)?

Agile methodology for software development has been around since the early 2000’s.  It began as a way to move past the previous “Waterfall” Development methodology to solve shortcomings in the Waterfall Development process.  Until the advent of Agile methodology, software development was a long and linear process.   Listen more in our podcast episode or read from our blog.

Every IoT product, system or environment I've worked on has pivoted. And I don't mean slight pivots, I'm talking 180 degrees or more. Why? Because the Internet of Things is new. New to the product builder and new to their customers. Because of this newness and the planning fallacy, it's important to take a highly iterative approach to development. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Jeff McGehee about agile development and how to use it most effectively when building a new IoT product.

Jeremy Knight spent 20 years as a B2B publisher creating publications for the private equity and fast growth business sectors. With digital technology, the Internet, and social web Jeremy believed making clients the publisher in a new media age was not just a good idea, it was the foundation for building a business. After all, building an audience was a better proposition than renting a list or leveraging third party routes to market, right? He launched Equinet Media in January 2009. Discovering HubSpot in 2011 was a game changer. The blending of a content marketing play with an inbound methodology propelled the business forward as everything we did for clients had measurable outcomes. Today Equinet is an Inbound Agency, working specifically for the manufacturing and professional services sectors, operating on the EOS system and delivering services through an agile scrum process.   What you’ll learn about in this episode: Jeremy’s transition from publisher to agency owner and the challenges he faced in that transition How Hubspot changed the game for Equinet -- even when it was far less powerful in 2011 than it is today Why CMOs are going to lead revenue and why sales and marketing are two halves of the same whole Hiring for attitude and training for aptitude instead of hiring based on skills alone Why you need to focus on developing different skills in all your team member when you keep all the work inside your agency and never outsource anything Why your team needs to have access to and understanding of the tools inside a tool like Hubspot, even if using them is not part of their day-to-day job What Agile is and how its point-based system works Learning how to implement Agile into your agency so that it matches up with inbound Why Agile doesn’t work the same for every agency and why you need to be ready to customize it Using Agile to figure out what works needs to be done to achieve the best results Why Jeremy uses two sets of points within Agile -- one for the value it provides a customer and another for the effort it takes his team Ways to contact Jeremy Knight: Website: www.equinetmedia.com Twitter: @TheJeremyKnight LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jeremyknight Email: jeremy@equinetmedia.com We’re proud to announce that Hubspot is now the presenting sponsor of the Build A Better Agency podcast!

AshleyMadison.com, a site that helps married people cheat and whose slogan is “Life is Short, have an Affair” was recently hacked and information on as many as 37 million people is now public. This week on The Guardian Podcast with Ryn Melberg we will NOT discuss the salacious details associated with this news. But we will be covering the security and of course governance issues associated with it. Among other things Ryn will discuss: - Security on sites like Ashley Madison, - How this security breech is important even for people who do not own a computer. - Backdoor hacks, - And why or why not we should have any confidence that our personal information is secure.

The culture of continual improvement drives companies towards agile management. Squeezing out productivity for the sake of productivity can lead teams to compartmentalize their roles. Knowledge workers should be empowered to deliver value as well as code. Project management software tools give the illusion of time management when in reality there is no level of accuracy when dealing with people. Allowing teams to organize themselves and then supporting that motion with an adjustable management support structure will provide project validation at many stages along the way. This is the fastest way to monetize initiatives.   Key Takeaways: [1:09] Agile is a set of values and principles [2:00] Commonalities with Lean [3:54] Output versus Outcome [4:47] The industrial era management style [5:34] Customer delight as the focus [7:08] Empowering teams [9:19] Predictability and productivity of teams [10:15] A servant leader perspective [11:41] Trust is at the bottom of the pyramid [12:40] Consistency of team [13:37] Multitasking kills - the switching cost [16:44] The fastest way to monetize initiatives [18:24] It’s infectious when it works [19:54] Agile provides predictability [20:57] Mythical certainty [23:00] Agile inspects and adapts [25:38] Will the market accept your idea?

One of the most powerful and helpful aspects of agile can be that it leads to better integrated multi-disciplinary teams. But the focus on building "the simplest thing that works" can lead folks to worry that accessibility and similar will fall by the wayside.
