SPaMCAST 558 features our essay Story Points – Leave Them, Don’t Love Them. Story Points are not evil and they may be useful in some circumstances. But like most tools, at some point, they lose focus. They have outlived their usefulness, therefore, I will leave them when at all possible.

SPaMCAST 559 will feature our interview with Al Shalloway. Rarely do I bring guests back so quickly, however, Al has a number of important ideas to share that only recently began to see wide distribution. We talked about the troubles dogging classic agile, using a scientific approach to change, and FLEX. This was a long discussion . . . it was so riveting that I lost track of time.
