Fun new article on my blog…
The Running Mann@runningmann1003 Apr 2023
A fun article using the @AgilityIQ coffee station, beer, a serious blunder in my @SUGSA conference presentation & Mother's Day to illustrate why written documentation is a terrible way for humans to try and communicate. runningmann.co.za/2023/04/03… #businessanalysis #agile #agilecoach

Written Documentation is a Terrible Way to Communicate - The Running Mann

When building solutions we need to do analysis but can get away with very little - and in some cases no - written documentation. Several fun examples illustrating the point.

A fun article that uses beer, behavioural science, marathon running and quarterly objectives in the quest to fit back into my smart black pants: runningmann.co.za/2023/03/10… #agile #scaledagile #beerbelly #objectives #marathons

My Big, Fat Beer Belly Helps Explain Quarterly Objectives - The Running Mann

A fun and practical look writing great objectives using running, beer and the quest to fit back into my smart black pants.

Size matters but (in this article anyway) probably not in the way that you think. The best ultra marathon runner in the world illustrates what happens to comfort, confidence and predictability as volume increases. runningmann.co.za/2023/02/27… #estimation #agile

The Best Ultra Marathon Runner in the World Helps Explain Why Size Matters - The Running Mann

“Does size matter?” is probably the male equivalent to, “Does my bum look big in these pants?” And if you have to ask either question, it’s highly likely that you don’t really want an honest answer.

A fun article that answers the question, "Would promising to donate to a rhino anti-poaching charity result in a better assessment completion rate?"
The Running Mann@runningmann10016 Aug 2022
It’s not often that running, behavioural science and agile coaching intersect but recently they did, so I decided to run an experiment. This is what happened... runningmann.co.za/2022/08/16… #agile #behaviouralscience #experiment #rhino #nudge

A Behavioural Science Experiment to get Leaders to Complete an Agile Maturity Assessment - The...

Can you combine behavioural science, marathon running, agile coaching and a desire to help save the rhinos in a single experiment? This is my attempt.

Doing a lightning talk at Agile Virtual Summit this evening 9:45pm RSA time - love it when I can talk about running & agile at the same time using Eliud Kipchoge's sub-2 hour marathon to explain why "It's not a sprint, it's a jog". Free ticket: lnkd.in/dkN3t868 #AVS2022
