Agile Vancouver in April

Come see me speaking at the Agile Vancouver group in Vancouver, British Columbia on April 24th. I’m going to present my “Who’s Managing Lunch” slides about Lean Project Management for the first 45 minutes followed by by “Feature Driven Development 101” slides after a brief break. It should be a fun 2 hours.

Thanks to Philippe Kruchten for inviting me. Now he owes me one - I’ll be inviting him to the Seattle Agile Project Leadership Network (APLN) chapter later this year in exchange.

Agile Management in Japanese

My book is now (finally) available in Japanese. GANBARE NIHON! You can get it here from Amazon.co.jp. Ironic that it took this long to appear in Japan. There is such a big interest in TOC and Lean in Japan. Even more ironic is that another publisher paid someone else to translate it rather than Prentice Hall paying my wife to do it. The title of the Japanese edition is simplified to “Agile Software Management.” They didn’t tell me they were doing it. I only noticed when the royalty check arrived last week. I wish they’d asked because they could have updated my bio and some other details. I might like to have corrected a few errors and updated a few graphics too.
