Hi Subscriber:

For those of you in Seattle we are going to be giving local seminars again and will be starting with Agile Architecture: The Why, the What and the How on Wednesday, June 19 at Savery Hall 264 at the University of Washington from 6:00-8:30pm.  For those of you not in Seattle, we'll be doing this as a webinar July 18, at 9am Pacific time.

Also, don't forget our upcoming webinar this Wednesday on How to Start an Agile Implementation at 9am PDT.

The Scaled Agile Framework is getting more and more interest. Not only because it works, but because it helps provide a vision of what the future can look like. Something that's been missing for many folks in the Agile and Kanban community.  I'll be teaching Leading SAFe, a two-day overview of SAFe July  24-25 in Seattle.  Dean Leffingwell and I will be teaching the SAFe Program Consultant course September 24-27, also in Seattle. This is a rare chance to watch two thought leaders working together.  Register soon as this will almost certainly sell out.

For those of you following our 100 in 100 100 Things You Must Know to Be Effective In Software Development blog series, you'll have noticed I've been very busy.  If you haven't been following this series, I strongly suggest you do.  We now know how to do software development properly - we just aren't doing it.  By the end of the series I'll have laid most of this out for you.

• Day 12 of 100 How to Avoid Redundancy: Shalloway's Principle
• Day 13 of 100 Systems Thinking From Individual to Organization
• Day 14 of 100 There is more than customer value
• Day 15 of 100 Know You Are Managing Time to Market & How To Do It
• Day 16 of 100 Understanding and Achieving Robust Architectures
• Day 17 of 100 The Lessons of Design Patterns
• Day 18 of 100 Learning What You Don't Know You Don't Know
• Day 19 of 100 Know the Power of Teams

I've written a couple of others as well:

• Why I Endorse Both SAFe & the Kanban Method
• How We Do the Kanban Method

Recent webinar recordings:

• Agile Implementations: Overviews of Scrum, Kanban, and Scrumban

As always, please contact me directly if you feel we can be of any assistance whether it be about technical or process issues.
