Live from Paradise Perks, Jon and Vic use the lean coffee format to discuss the following topics:
Agile Games and Gamification
Scrum as a gamification platform
techniques used by people like Bryan Beecham (@BillyGarnet) at Iceberg Ideas
Agile in Japan
referenced The New New Product Development Game by Takeuchi and Nonaka, 1986
Training, Taboos and Readiness
Jon's favorite book: Training from the Back of the Room by Sharon L Bowman
Recursion: Use it or Lose it
Jim McCarthy (Software for your Head, the Booted, etc.)
Jon brought up the movie Ed Wood starring Johnny Depp, but I thought he said "Elwood" and completely missed the reference - lol
Big Plan Up Front (BPUF) vs Just In Time (JIT) plans vs No plans
does no plan = no estimates?
