If you happen to work at one of those organizations, this episode should offer you something special to start off the new year. This episode offers HOPE. Hearst Digital Media has been working on making the transition to Agile for the past few years. As you’ll hear in the interview, what they’ve achieved is a group that has adopted and adapted a variety of Agile practices and found a way of working that is not just a great example of how to make Agile work for your organization, but how you can establish a group in lieu of a traditional PMO that exists to support, nurture and continuously improve their approach in order to deliver value for their organization and their customers.
For me, this was a truly inspiring interview. I hope you will enjoy it. Oh - and if you are looking for a gig at a place that has figured all this out… they’re hiring.

Comparative Agility with Jorgen Hesselberg
| “Agile is not something you become, Agile is something you become more of.” In this interview, Jorgen Hesselberg, co-founder of Comparative Agility, and I discuss how the tool has evolved since it was created in 2008 and how it is now being used by coaches and organizations to not only understand how their transformation is going, but how they are doing compared to others within their vertical, as well. We also talk about the work that Comparative Agility has been doing with the Scrum Alliance and how the tool has been extended to include things like Security and DevOps, in addition to discussing Jorgen’s book “Unlocking Agility.” Links from the PodcastIf you’d like to check out Comparative Agility, you can find it here: https://www.comparativeagility.com If you’d like to read “Unlocking Agility”, you can find it here: https://amzn.to/2setHly Contacting JorgenSend EmailEmail: jorgen@comparativeagility.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/jhesselberg |

Scaling Product Development with Ellen Gottesdiener and Andy Repton
| Earlier this fall at the 2018 Large Scale Scrum Conference in NYC, Ellen Gottesdiener and Andy Repton led a session called “What is Our Product”. During the course of their presentation they showcased many of the tools they use with clients to determine what the product they are building actually is. In this interview Ellen and Andy explain why this question is not as easy to understand as it seems and why it is so critical to product success. During the course of our conversation they walk through some of the tools they use to help clients deepen their understanding of the product, how to make sure it is strategically aligned, and how this can even be done with massive organizations that are developing infrastructure products.
