EAFH-1: Agile for Humanity Tucson Meetup 25-August-2018
You are listening to the KnolShare with Dr. Dave Podcast. This is your host Dr. Dave.
I hope you are pursuing your awesomeness!
KnolShare with Dr. Dave is Streamed on Grokshare.com and broadcasted on iTunes and Google Play.
The Agile for Humanity (AFH) Tucson meetup is a new launch in 2018. A monthly podcast will be created of the conversations and will be hosted on the KnolShare with Dr. Dave channel.
You are listening to episode EAFH-1: Lean, Agile, and Startup Discussions.
The Agile for Humanity community will use lean thinking, agile practices, and lean startup to improve business, community, and individual goals.
As lean thinkers we want to maximize value, minimize waste, optimize flow, respect people, and continually learn. As agile practitioners we aim to respond to change, measure empirically, commit to outcomes, be transparent, and demonstrate courage.
Although more tenets exist to guide our behavior, these are a good start to help our journey.
We are camped out at Connect CoWorking in downtown Tucson, Arizona, next door to The RIALTO – A Publix Theatre and hotel Congress on a Saturday morning. The RIALTO and hotel Congress are landmark buildings in the downtown Tucson area. Connect CoWorking is the original collaboration workspace in downtown Tucson and is the home to an eclectic group of small businesses and local events.
We used Lean Coffee to create topics for the Agile for Humanity meetup group. Lean Coffee was created by Jim Benson and Jeremy Lightsmith. Learn more about Lean Coffee by visiting www.leancoffee.org.
Our guests today are:
Lateefah Collingwood, Kahilill Knight-Papaioannou, Samantha Hahn, Charles (Kaunda) Collingwood, and Harry Roberts. Attending remotely were Jon Jorgensen and the mysterious Wayne.
