Ed Muzio started making videos for e-learning a decade ago, mostly by accident.

Today, he has shot over 60 of our famous ‘whiteboard’ videos, about two dozen episodes of a talk show format, and two full-length asynchronous courses, aand marketing videos.

What Ed learned from each format has informed his work, and ultimately they’ve all led back to his latest book, (which was first written entirely as video scripts).

I’ll share the story behind the stories, including mistakes made, lessons learned, and samples of what’s worked best – and where we’re going next.

Enjoy this example of Ed’s famous Whiteboard Videos:

The debate continues as to what the next generation of leaders will need to be successful. While competency models have become the established standard we use to grow and gauge leadership capability, we must also equip our leaders with the ability to successfully navigate a VUCA (volatile, unpredictable, complex, and ambiguous) world.

Current research indicates that the more “competent” our leaders get, the more likely they are to become fixated on what they’ve been good at in the past.

As a result, even successful leaders can lose sight of what they need to become good at next for continued success. Like it or not, most of what worked for past generations does not work in today’s business environment.

We have an agility gap.

This webinar will cover:

• The Three Levels of Leadership Agility
• The Character Strengths of Agile Leaders – Why These Strengths Make Us Better
• The Four Super Skills of Agile Teams – How They Are Revolutionizing the Workplace
• Putting It All Together – Assessing Leadership Agility: Developing Agility in Our Leaders and within Our Teams

In the world of software development, requirements engineering has been recognized as an important discipline for the past couple of decades.

Without proper requirements software development was bound to fail. But is this still true in the current Age of Agility?

• Requirements engineering was a natural fit in the waterfall approach.
• It was an upfront activity in the first phase of the project, the analysis phase.
  • In this stage the overall business requirements were:
    • Elicited,
    • Documented and
    • Validated,
      • And served as a contract for the remainder of the project.
• During functional design these business requirements
  • Were supplemented by user requirements and
  • Technical design added the system requirements.

Modern software development often follows agile approaches like Scrum and XP.

The role of requirements engineering is less obvious in these instances. Given that there are no distinct phases, requirements engineering continues throughout the process and may be part of every iteration.

Agile approaches are not very keen on upfront activities (‘Responding to change over Following a plan’) nor documentation (‘Working software over Comprehensive documentation’).

As a consequence, developers tend to neglect requirements engineering in agile projects. They seem to believe that requirements engineering is some old-school thing that doesn’t fit into agility.

Requirements are deemed to be the exclusive responsibility of the Product Owner which the rest of the team takes for granted. They often find out too late that this is a mistake.

Requirements engineering is an essential part of any development endeavor, irrespective of its methodology.

In every approach it should not be confined to an upfront analysis phase, but get attention throughout the lifecycle. In this webinar Hans van Loenhoud will address four common misunderstandings about requirements engineering and agility:

• Upfront is Evil
• User Stories are Enough
• Documentation is Waste
• Only Working Software Counts

Hans will also will talk about the points of engagement where professional requirements engineering fits into an agile iteration and about some techniques that can add value there.

Professional requirements engineering fits perfectly into agile principle #9 ‘Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility’. This is a principle we have learned and practiced for a long time.

 It is not Requirements Engineering or Agile,
But Requirements Engineering at Agile!
