CodeStock Recap and Kanban Talk Slides

I had a great time at Codestock this past weekend. I didn’t get to many sessions, but I did go to a number of open space sessions (have some work to do on my blog) and the normal “hallway” sessions that never disappoint.

My talk on Lean and Kanban went really well. There were only a couple seats left in the smallish room we had, but that lead to a much more interactive discussion. The slides are available to download, with some notes in the deck.

To answer a couple more questions from the group, here are a couple of the resources I mentioned in the talk:

• Core Ladas blog: http://leansoftwareengineering.com/
• Implementing Lean Software Development by Mary and Tom Poppendieck

Coming soon will be Agile Zen. I’ve taken a peek at the beta, and it’ll be quite a tool in helping people and teams do lean development. Sign up for their mailing list to get notified when it comes out.

Now Batting Leadoff for CodeStock…

I am honored to have been selected to speak at CodeStock and will be delivering having my Kanban conversation in the great state of Tennessee. I’m really looking forward to this as I didn’t make CodeStock last summer, and it looks like a great two day event. The good folks that have organized the conference have slotted me in one of the opening sessions on Friday, so we’ll get our Lean on early in the conference.

There are a number of sessions I’m looking forward to, and since mine is over early I should get to a bunch of them. But, as with any regional conference, I’m looking forward to the hallway sessions as well.

If you’re thinking about going, go get registered, it looks like it’s going to be a good time.
