Here is my key note speech from Falando em Agile 2008 in Sao Paulo this week.

I need to thank Barry Boehm, at USC for inadvertently giving me the inspiration for this speech. The first half of it is based on the lecture I gave to his masters degree class last Wednesday. I had to find a suitable level for the Brazilian audience. The key note I've prepared for closing the Agile Practices event in Orlando next month wasn't the right level. Also opening a conference and closing it down are two different problem statements. So I had to write a new one. And somehow I stumbled on it when Barry asked me to lecture on "managing for quality with agile methods." That was the inspiration, so I wrote a speech that describes how to manage to achieve my Recipe for Success. The first statement of which is "focus on quality."
