I finally got to watch this. It was really great. Excellent pacing, excellent graphics, excellent commentary... and lovely humour!

I remember Billy's Boots from when I was a kid. I always wished I had a pair! Now I do. But they are not Scrum Boots, or Agile boots, they are just my boots. And I play well today. That is the real magic. Thanks for reminding me.

Hi Tobias,

Glad you liked it. I feel like a fraud, really, because I threw the talk together sort of last minute and didn't really know what Pecha Kucha was. I just recorded this as a practice run, hence my mispronunciatio ns and stuttering.

However, my ideas about asynchronous power structures are pretty well defined. If you are to understand what has happened in the last few years you really have to go no further than Orwell and Hoggart's The Uses of Literacy. We are so stupid, unconsciously incompetent, in the software industry, and so bound by endemic arrogance, that we behave like nothing in our world has ever happened before. Frankly, it's trite.

You are not a fraud. Perhaps you threw this out with little rehearsal but it is heartfelt and speaks your truth. I agree that many in the Agile world act like they invented human interaction... and act like no one in the world had ever collaborated before the Agile Manifesto was written. Yes, it is trite. There is a massive paradigm shift occurring in the business world (in the world), and too many in the Agile community believe they are alone and special in their thinking. Its the big fish, small pond syndrome at its worst.

Keep spreading the word!

That was fantastic! Absolutely agree with you, even if I'm not sure you pronounce Plato like that! ;)

Thanks Martin and TestSheep, glad you liked it.

Hey, you say tom-plato and I say tom-plato - let's call the whole thing off. I actually think I pronounced Ken's last name incorrectly :-(

Thanks Jamie , that was a nice talk and a good reminder that people make all the difference.

Does Scrum provide a better way for more people to make a difference ?

Yeah and as for the boots,I may go buy one one of them !

Nice talk again !
