How Can EVM Transform Risk Management in Agile Project Delivery?

In this @agileuprising panel episode, Prateek Singh @singhpr, Andy Cleff @justsitthere, Ben Rodilitz BenRodilitz, and Colleen Johnson @scrumhive chat about applying #agile thinking to earned value management. #EVM, a project management technique used in measuring performance, progress, and risk, relies on calculations based on detailed and accurate upfront planning. The coexistence of Agile (which is dynamic by design) and EVM requires a tailored approach. Could abandoning deterministic #estimates combined with #probabilistic #forecasting - think Monte Carlo Simulations - be the key to success?

Creating Great Teams: A Decade of Learning

Remember when letting people choose their own teams seemed completely radical? (I sure do!) A decade ago, Sandy Mamoli and David Mole pioneered "self-selection" at Trade Me in New Zealand, sparking a movement that would challenge conventional wisdom about team formation. In this reunion episode, we dive deep into their journey from initial experiment to proven practice. Drawing on a decade of experience across industries, cultures, and continents, Sandy and David share how self-selection has evolved to meet modern workplace challenges. What you'll learn: Why trust, ownership, and vision are the three rivers that power successful self-selection How the practice adapted from in-person to remote/hybrid environments What traditional banks and cutting-edge startups have in common when it comes to team formation Where self-selection is headed in an era of AI and fluid team structures Practical steps to start your own self-selection journey Whether you're a seasoned agilist or new to the concept, this episode offers fresh insights into how organizations thrive when people choose their teams. (And yes, we'll answer that burning question: "But what if people make the wrong choice?") Learn More Articles, videos, quick start guides, case studies, and more on Self Selection About Nomad8, a restless group of passionate people with complementary skills and a shared belief in continuous improvement.

Rediscovering Natural Human Organization w Simon Holzapfel

In this episode of the Agile Uprising podcast, host Andy Cleff chats with Simon Holzapfel about how humans organized and learned together before industrial-age practices disrupted our natural patterns. Through examples from anthropology, biology, and neuroscience, they explore what ancient societies and our own biology can teach us about effective collaboration at scale. The conversation challenges common assumptions about organizational hierarchy and control, suggesting that agile principles aren't new inventions, but rather a rediscovery of how humans naturally work and learn together. For leaders and change agents, this episode offers practical steps toward creating organizations that work with, rather than against, human nature.

Shift: From Product to People - A Conversation on Agile Evolution

In this Uprising Podcast episode hosted by Andy Cleff, Michael "Mad Dog" Dougherty and Pete "OK" Oliver-Krueger discuss their new book "Shift from Product to People" - a novel exploring the third wave of agile adoption. Through rich character development inspired by real people and the Enneagram personality system, they illustrate how organizations struggle even after implementing agile practices and DevOps. Mike and Pete reveal why focusing on frameworks and processes alone isn't enough, sharing their vision of people-first transformation. They discuss the evolution from individual team agility (Wave 1) through scaled frameworks (Wave 2) to their proposed third wave - returning focus to people while solving real organizational problems. Drawing from their extensive consulting experience, Mad Dog and OK explore how the consulting industry's obsession with frameworks has sometimes overshadowed the human element that makes agile truly effective. They also preview their next two books that will complete the trilogy, including "Shift from Products to Problems." Key Topics: The three waves of agile adoption Why organizations fail despite "doing all the right things" Using the Enneagram for authentic character development The future of agile in a post-framework world Balancing people focus with business outcomes Links Book/Kindle Shift: From Product To People: A Novel About Product Development, and Shifting to People To Achieve a Holistic Agile Transformation Contact Info https://www.linkedin.com/in/agilemichaeldougherty/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/peteok/ https://twitter.com/doughertymic Websites https://www.libraryofagile.org/ https://leanagileenterprises.com/ https://www.shiftingpeople.com/ The Nine Enneagram Type Descriptions Did Agile Shit the Bed?
