4. Coffee is Done When it’s Done

Live from Paradise Perks, Jon and Vic use the lean coffee format to discuss the following topics: Agile Games and Gamification Scrum as a gamification platform techniques used by people like Bryan Beecham (@BillyGarnet) at Iceberg Ideas Agile in Japan referenced The New New Product Development Game by Takeuchi and Nonaka, 1986 Training, Taboos and Readiness Jon's favorite book: Training from the Back of the Room by Sharon L Bowman Recursion: Use it or Lose it Jim McCarthy (Software for your Head, the Booted, etc.) Jon brought up the movie Ed Wood starring Johnny Depp, but I thought he said "Elwood" and completely missed the reference - lol Big Plan Up Front (BPUF) vs Just In Time (JIT) plans vs No plans does no plan = no estimates?
