Intents & Ideas Podcast

Dustin Johnson & Lemont Chambliss are two agile gurus who just like to get together at least once a week for a virtual conversation on anything even remotely close to the topic of agility. We never know what the podcast is going to be about but when the conversation gets good we hit the record button. So if it sounds like you fell into a conversation without the backdrop, that's because you did. Dustin Johnson is an enterprise agility coach and his roles have spanned other departments implementing practices including DevOps, XP, CI/CD, ABDD & ATDD. He likes to stress failing fast and failing forward, using business value to drive priority, and approaching quality as a risk assessment. My soapboxes include the cone of uncertainty, a card is a promise for a conversation and the anti-pattern of mini-waterfall. My honed in agile strengths include agile metrics and agile capitalization.
