Well actually, it's in McLean, Virginia ;-) but from where I sit in the chilly Northwest, that is close enough to the nation's capital.

I'm going to be giving the key note at the first of a series of seminars sponsored by Valtech - Agile Edge - at the Hilton Hotel McLean - Tyson's Corner on May 22nd.

I'll be delivering a revised version of the key note I gave at Lean and Agile Sweden back in February where I examine the underlying paradigms behind agile and Lean identify the overlap. I help to set a healthier definition around what it truly means to be agile or not. It's not about examining what practices are present. It is about evaluating whether or not a chosen practice in a specific situation delivers on the underlying paradigms of agile, or continues to reinforce the old paradigms that got us in to the mess in the first place. Hopefully, I can stimulate a healthier relationship with our past and a healthier less divisive community around agile for the future.
