Ep. 20 - TimZon: Effective Team Discussions

[LESS INFO] 3 VIEWS | ADDED 14:30:06 09/28/09
In this episode of The Project Shrink Podcast I am talking to Jerome Breche and Jerome Mouton from TimZon. TimZon is a new tool for asynchronous video discussions. Skype and other video conferencing solutions are great for the little time per day when the team members are available. But with teams for instance in India and the US, this overlapping time period is often limited at best to a couple hours per day. Email and written forms of communication are fine for handling the offline communication, but it is lacking the human touch of audio/video communication, not conveying emotions. TimZon aims to solve this problem.

I recorded this episode of Project Shrink on a lazy sunday afternoon; a great time to think about how you want to be perceived as a professional. It is the kind of knowledge that can really make a big difference in your career, but also in life. I am delighted to talk to Margaret Meloni on this subject. She consults with individuals and organizations on the topic of conflict resolution and she coaches professionals in advancing their careers. She used to work as a Project Manager, so she knows our profession.

Ep. 11 - Executives, Fixed Price And Agility

[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 04:42:07 08/30/09
In this episode of The Project Shrink Podcast I am talking to David Webb of Exigen Services. We are talking about flex-agility: their outsourced, fixed price, agile-based application development offering. Earlier this year I talked to Alec Miloslavsky, CEO of the same company, and I got a lot of feedback on this topic. Your feedback let to this followup interview. We are focusing on the agreement with the client. As David explains, this approach is actually an explicit decision about which party will take what risk for what price. For the customer the fixed price offers a safety net, the maximum amount that they have to pay. In the agreement they leave more than normal room for changes which are done in an agile fashion.

In this episode of The Project Shrink I have the pleasure of talking to Stephane Grenier, author of Blog Blazers, a fabulous book for every type of blogger. He also runs a software company and has his own blog (of course).
