  • Tech Reads Ep. 15 - A Mindset for Business Agility with Agile Coach and Practitioner Larry Apke

    Tech Reads Ep. 15 - A Mindset for Business Agility with Agile Coach and Practitioner Larry Apke
    Mar 22 2024

    Unveiling the "Golden Rule of Agile."

    Our special guest was Larry Apke, author of Apke's Golden Rule of Agile: A Focus On Value Delivery.

    What is the Apke’s Golden Rule of Agile, you ask? It's a simple yet powerful principle that emphasizes delivering optimal value to customers in the shortest possible time. Drawing inspiration from the universal "Golden Rule," Apke's rule focuses on three crucial elements: the customer, the value, and time. Larry will also elaborate on why he’s become an evangelist for the VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) approach to agility.

    During our podcast discussion, Larry discusses:

    • The genesis of the Golden Rule of Agile
    • How this rule revolutionizes Agile practices
    • Practical applications in backlog management and estimation
    • The potential impact on Agile teams and their success

    A special thanks to Softec, and all of our sponsors for making this episode possible.

We are extremely grateful to our sponsors and to Rob Boscacci (https://robertboscacci.com/) who shared insights from his new book: The Spring of Sight: An Inflection Point for Computer Vision and Society. Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers and systems to derive meaningful information from digital images, videos and other visual inputs — and take actions or make recommendations based on that information. If AI enables computers to think, computer vision enables them to see, observe and understand. Author Robert Boscacci is a Cinema technician and data engineer. He wrote The Spring of Sight: An Inflection Point for Computer Vision and Society to bring attention to the potential pitfalls and perils of CV along with all of its promise to improve our lives. Like something straight out of Popular Science, we are part of an experiment that will permanently change the future. The Spring of Sight speaks to futurists and activists at the forefront of image-based automation and mass surveillance. #techreads #softec #technology #computervision #ai #surveillance #cv #artificialintelligence
