I’ve been interviewing several industry luminaries over the past few weeks, and have several more lined up. I won’t divulge who they are at this time, but suffice it to say they are leaders in the field.
Having read most of their work it’s been a great opportunity to ‘double-click’ past their published material and find out their personal history, what drives them, their insights on the current state, how we got here, and where – in their opinion – we’re heading as an industry.
From memory, here are a few tidbits that stuck in my mind from the interviews so far to give you a taste :)
- When attempting business improvement should we really be trying to change an organization’s culture, or is it wiser to work with it?
- When it comes to trying to bridge the Business-IT chasm, what impact does ‘who’ and ‘how’ a message is delivered have on the message itself.
- What aspects become important as we try to scale agile?
- The key to good requirements is a tolerance for ambiguity coupled with a drive to specificity when the time is right
We’re in final preparations for publishing, so this interview series should be launching very soon. I’ll post here when and provide links when it does go live.
