In this episode, the AI hosts discuss my article, "A Balanced Approach to Agile Metrics: Empowering Teams and Mitigating Risks." The article advocates for using Agile metrics wisely in software development. It argues that metrics like DORA and flow velocity are great for spotting bottlenecks and boosting team performance, but they can be misused. This misuse can lead to focusing on manipulating numbers rather than genuine improvement. The conversation highlights the need for team ownership of metrics, clear communication, and understanding each team's unique context. A big concern is to keep metrics from becoming tools for blame-shifting or pressure from business stakeholders. The ultimate goal is to use metrics to empower teams and encourage a culture of continuous improvement.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
