This past Wednesday, I presented a 45-minute introduction to Extreme Programming (XP) to the Project Management and Program Management Special Interest Group, who meet every week Cupertino. The group was lively and full of questions. I especially enjoyed the chance to discuss XP, as that is where I got my start doing agile software development, back around the turn of the century.

InfoQ Made Me Famous!!
No sooner had I discovered that I’m on YouTube, than I find out that InfoQ has published a short blurb on user stories that I wrote. My phone is ringing; could it be Hollywood calling.

The 2008 Scrum Gathering Made Me Famous!
Well, maybe not famous, but at least I made it to YouTube, and with all of my clothes on! This video of the Chicago Scrum Gathering includes some footage of my workshop What Makes Agile Projects Succeed (or Fail)?. It starts 50 seconds in, with the title “The Essence of Scrum Session.” If you’re really bored, feel free to play ‘Find Chris’; somehow my mug and pony tail managed to make several other appearances.
