@findingmarbles I was just using plans-for-retrospectives.com… and realized we met when you talked about sketch notes at Agile 2015. You're great!

@WoodyZuill thanks for the hands-on mob programming session. It was amazing to see how quickly non-devs came up to speed! #Agile2015

@RisingLinda, I’d love to get the list of podcasts you listen to.
Pleasantly surprised that @WoodyZuill is presenting the mob programming talk at #JavaOne

Extremely happy and proud of my team. Our first sprint sharing dev and tester roles was a success!

Thinking about how to do a walking retro. Not sure how some of the standard retro activities would work outside on the move with 12+ people
Ran a retro with these activities: plans-for-retrospectives.com… it went really well.
If development is like a road, the end of a sprint feels like a stop light. I wish it was just a roundabout so we could keep moving.
