Admit it, you want to be THRILLED!
Do you find thrillers, well thrilling? Then why not learn how to scale Scrum across an enterprise in an international thriller?
AGILE GRANDE is being written in a continuous delivery style on LeanPub. Chapters are going up as they are written and revised at https://leanpub.com/AgileGrande.
AGILE GRANDE is the sequel to AGILE NOIR. Kartar Patel, a savvy Scrum Master charged with scaling Agile across an international logistics company who’s organizational structure is ill suited. Although ill suited for Agile it’s right suited for Mr. Cherneski, a selfish genius who masterminded an organization of siloed pigeon holes so employees unknowingly support his multi million dollar darknet business. Kartar doesn’t know why his transformation work is being resisted at every turn until he’s left for dead in the Indian Ocean and hunted by a foreign intelligence agency. Kartar washes ashore in Mumbai without his memory and has to go underground. He learns tools to analyze and adjust organizational structures. By the time he recovers from amnesia, he has only twenty-four hours to stop his daughter from marrying Cherneski’s son and get his Agile transformation back on track.
What’s a good servant leader to do other than get to work and save the day?

A chance to explain yourself (Boston event)
Every time the FOX movies logo hits the screen a small part of you always believes it’s Star Wars coming up next, and that small part is secretly disappointed whenever it’s not. Maybe you love science fiction enough to read it, write it, or create film or games.
So this your chance!I’ll be in Peabody (next to Boston) July 27th and 28th. How about you use my calendar link and schedule an interview with the SciFi Thoughts podcast? You can rant convictions, whisper secrets, or turn the tables and question Lancer. Either way we’ll record and edit it to make it the most pure drop of SciFi Thought that can be distilled.
So step up and explain your relationship with science fiction! Let it never be said that I don’t seek both sides of every story.
