Last week I had a tiny tour of Poland, speaking in Warsaw and in Devoxx in Krakow. It was fun! I got to give the long version of my "Surviving and Thriving in BigCo's talk" and also the "Better Ways of Doing Software" stump speech, as it were. Tragically, I missed the pigs on a spit.Right now I'm up in Chicago at an EPA tech summit where I gave an overview of agile for orginizers such as theirselves. They have some pretty impressive desires to go agile and lean. Their distinction between those two is interesting: one is for exploring, the other for optimizing.
