Geoff & Paul give a short (and fairly brutal) review of Marty Cagan's new book, in which he makes several bold suggestions about how to transformation organisations to become more product-centric. Our concerns centered around those reading will make radical decisions which jeopardise jobs through cost savings. Is this the right thing for our thought leaders to do? How is this similar to Ken Schwaber's first teachings about Scrum...

From Deus Ex Machina, Boscombe UK. The name of this pub took us on another meandering conversation into the realms of possibilities with an AI-related future and how our role as humans may need to adapt into a creating more people-centric (or even planet-centric) processes.
