UN-Common Sense

By: Joshua Barnes Al Shalloway & Steve Tendon
  • Summary

  • As popular as Agile is, its success rate is not particularly high. Your three hosts believe this is because most organizations are being led by cargo cult and echo chambers. Many brilliant and proven concepts are not in any of the more popular approaches. This has resulted in a huge gap between what is possible and what is being achieved. The Uncommon Sense sessions will present many concepts that organizations should be using but that are not popular while also uncover myths present in popular methods that are holding organizations back.The hosts of Uncommon sense are either creators of cutting-edge, but proven approaches and/or experts in Agile and Lean methods. This will ensure you get both the theory and the practice of the methods being described.

  • UN-Common Sense Episode 12: Understanding Value Engineering with Tom Gilb
    Aug 20 2021

    Please join Steve Tendon, Al Shalloway, and Joshua Barnes for a discussion lead by Tom Gilb, where he will bring his insights in Agile Engineering or “quantified value(s) agile.”  

    A few of the focus points include: 

    - Systems Thinking: even for programs, you need to integrate people, data, legal, hardware, cloudware, and more.

    - Stakeholder Engineering: not merely “customer and user” – Stakeholder Stores, Stakeholder Xperience (SX not UX)  

    Tom has been practicing incremental value-delivery since 1960 and has written many books on his experience.  He is still trying to get people to understand Value Engineering and quantified thinking.
