		<title>Agile Growing Pains &#8211; Making the product owner role work in a fast growing enterprise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From my organization&#8217;s Product Owner land, we have many people participating in the individual tasks and requirements of the Agile Product Owner role from an engineering and product management perspective, but, no one person has taken it on, nor has the organization fully figured out how to embed the role. I keep scratching my head [...]]]></description>

		<title>Our Agile Celebration: &#8220;The Blessing&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It started with release Beta .0-something. Being the agile development shop that we are, we wanted to ship to our customer as early as possible. Everything had to go: software, firmware, documentation, and early proto-hardware devices. Sunday was the day we were pulling all the artifacts together for a hand-delivered Monday morning flight.
Sunday afternoon. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Agile Prankster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Release Hardening
The most stressful part of the release. Here&#8217;s my persona at the moment:

Constant monitor of all bugs, unfinished stories, and blockers. Not the most popular team member at the moment. The monitoring part seems like I&#8217;m just nagging. People run away when I approach. Ultimately, I just suck.
Briber of teams: &#8220;Damn, if you actually [...]]]></description>

As the organizer and scrum master of this event, I thought I&#8217;d reflect and share some of my personal musings:
Before Release Planning

Product Owners will always ask for more than can fit into a release [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Road to Agile Growth (part II)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my last blog, I communicated some of our challenges on scaling, and The Road to Agile Growth. Building the Optimal Scrum Team is definitely top of mind, and how we get there is secondary. But really, the most important thing was how to build the team, so that we could get there.
We’ve come up [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Road to Agile Growth (again)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My lack of blog posts has not been for lack of agile interest, rather, it’s been because of the “tornado” we’re in at my company. We experienced high waves of growth in mid 08, followed by the horrible economic and market downturn in late 08, and, then, almost immediately followed by unbelievable growth and funding [...]]]></description>
