(2010-09-09) Fichtner Mccarthy Core

Abby Fichtner summarizes Jim McCarthy's recent presentation of his Core Protocols (see Software For Your Head). “How many of you have been on a team in a state of Shared Vision?” This is the question Jim McCarthy used to kick off last night’s Agile Boston presentation. “Now, stay standing if you thought that team was at least 2x as effective as a team without one… 5x more effective… 10x more effective.” The majority of us stayed standing throughout. 10 TIMES more effective! That’s like the difference between sheer joy and utter misery, isn’t it? 11 commitments and 11 protocols.
