Happy that things are actually moving forward again. I have to admit I have been having to fight a little stress. I get this way when I start a large project, and things are going really well, then i get worried that I will mess it up. The thinking goes like this, it looks good now, if I just leave it this way, I can image what it might be and not worry about messing it up.

This can be an extremely difficult feeling to push through. I am very grateful for all the support and encouragement. Having finished my book has also helped me to refocus to finish this project. 

I look forward to being able to post more updates soon.

Keep moving forward.

I realized that even though I posted my current status of the project, I had not defined it. So, I am fixing that with this post. To the left is the reference image that i am using for the Family portrait. In addition, I have never done a digital painting like this before, so i am discovering new techniques all the time.

I have restarted this project multiple times using different approaches. I am extremely hopeful that this approach will work. I am currently making good progress, and look forward to the final result.

​Keep watching for updates.

Agile Explained - Released

I wanted to take a quick moment to announce that my book is now available. Over the years, I have noticed that most books that talk about Agile, do so using examples and analogies from software development to show the value. In addition, since they are attempt to cover all aspects of a vast system, the books tend to be rather large. Overall, I came to the conclusion that we were missing something, and decided to act on that conclusion.

I wanted a reference that could be given to company leaders that would be easy to read and given the a high level overview. This overview would allow them to better understand what Agile teams are attempting to do, as well as encourage them to learn more and expand Agile outside of software development and IT. Leaders, like the ones i was targeting, are extremely busy and unlikely to read a four to five hundred page book on all the ins and outs of Agile. With this in mind, I set out on a path I had not expected myself to take. I decided we needed a reference like this, and if one did not exist, I would need to write it.

Agile Explained is a fast and easy to read book that covers the high level values and benefits of Agile. It lays the foundation that can be expanded on, as well as offering suggestions on how to proceed after the book. My hope is that this book will allow for a greater expansion of Agile thinking that will allow more companies fully embrace the culture needed to reap all the benefits.

If you get a chance to read it, I hope you let me know what you think.

​Agile Explained is now available on Amazon.
