Iteration 0: Walking Skeleton

tca@bah.com (Timmy) — Sat, 27 Sep 2014 11:43:00 -0700

We're launching a podcast!

Hosted by Tim Meyers and Luke Lackrone, "The Competitive Advantage" is Booz Allen's regular look across the agile landscape.

On this initial episode, our Backlog contains Scrum Masters and Product Owners, the Agile Mindset, Agile@Scale, Failing "Agile Initiatives," and, what can only be referred to as Lackrone's Agile Coach Manifesto.

Additionally, we take the podcast itself into the Time-box for a meta-discussion, our Spotlight this week is the "Walking Skeleton" practice, and we answer some agile emails.
