Summary
Agile methods are empirical: plan, do, evaluate how it went, plan the next thing. When these cycles are very short, learning happens quickly and teams can move into high-performance mode. But discipline is necessary - planning must happen continuously to feed the fast-moving team. For 80 minutes David Hussman looks at the Agile practices around planning a project, a release, and an iteration.

Bio
David Hussman has mentored and coached agile teams all over the world for the past five years. Software developer in a variety of domains from digital biometrics to education, leader at workshops and speaker at conferences, he has contributed to several books ("Managing Agile Projects" and "Agile in the Large") and is the co-owner of SGF Software which helps companies transition to Agile.

    I agree, it kinda gets boring towards end. Or may be I was just too tired (which I was) when I watched it, or they were too many metrics involved ;-)
