Most of what we do is consulting - helping teams and their managers and executives transform chaos to clarity and make product development "hum." As part of our consulting practices, Ron teaches teams to be agile, and we both teach managers to manage software people and teams, as well as taking on interim and advisory VP Engineering roles to transform chaos to clarity.
Much of what we do, together, is writing - from our book (Managing the Unmanageable: Rules, Tools, and Insights for Managing Software People and Teams, now in its second edition), to a plethora of articles, to video training, LiveLessons: Managing Software People and Teams. Ron also coauthors the periodic Study of Product Team Performance and blogs regularly.
When our publisher, Addison Wesley, was solicited for technical management video training by O'Reilly's Safari library, we entirely re-thought and re-worked our book for video delivery, then spent a week in Pearson’s recording studio, followed by round after round of video editing, to emerge with ten hours, ten topics, 84 learning lessons to our LiveLessons: Managing Software People and Teams,
We also regularly present talks and one-, two-, and three-day workshops around the world, some of which are public. This page leads off with those that are upcoming. Some of the talks - and some of the interviews we've done - have been captured on video or audio. So if watching or listening is a medium you enjoy, check out the video and audio recordings of interviews we've done and the videos of talks we've given. We sometimes repeat talks, so you may find several video versions of some talks to choose from. We've also put links to most of the slidesets themselves.
