I’m currently at Agile Portugal. The conference will be over soon and then it’ll be time for MetaPLoP in Douro Valley. I was excited today to give my “Rulemakers and Toolmakers: Adaptive Object Models as Agile Division of Labor” tutorial. Rebecca Wirfs-Brock and I have worked hard to refine and enliven this tutorial. You can read more about it on the Agile PT page. We think it was a total success.
The big surprise of the day happened when I was asked to speak in place of Dave Thomas who couldn’t make the conference. The talk was titled, “Lean – The Foundation for Agility Increase Value, Reduce Waste, Improve Flow.” I think it went well too. The focus on Agile methods speaks to a lot of my own experience. If you were at the talk, I would love to hear your comments.
