Google Tech Talks May 6, 2008 ABSTRACT When you look around, there are a lot of leaders recommended for software development. We have the functional manager and the project manager, the scrum master and the black belt, the product owner and the customer-on-site, the technical leader and the architect, the product manager and the chief engineer. Clearly that’s too many leaders. So how many leaders should there be, what should they do, what shouldn’t they do, and what skills do they need? This will be a presentation and discussion of leadership roles in software development — what works, what doesn’t and why. Speaker: Mary Poppendieck Mary Poppendieck started her career as a process control programmer, moved on to manage the IT department of a manufacturing plant, and then ended up in product development, where she was both a product champion and department manager. Mary considered retirement 1998, but instead found herself managing a government software project where she first encountered the word “waterfall.” When Mary compared her experience in successful software and product development to the prevailing opinions about how to manage software projects, she decided the time had come for a new paradigm. She wrote the award-winning book Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit in 2003 to explain how the lean principles from manufacturing offer a better approach to software development.

@Meisgeniusidiot You really have to watch the show in its entirety. Its one of those shows that you hear so much reverence for and its actually warranted. I think its one of the most perfectly casted sitcoms I’ve ever personally seen

No matter how many times I watch, I always laugh at Tobias at 2:11

@Meisgeniusidiot I think what he meant to say was that you need to watch the actual show. You’ll most probably be in stitches when the scenes are in context. Watching them individually without having seen the show generally makes them unfunny. Having seen the show myself, I can laugh at all of these scenes because I know what lead up to each of them.
I highly recommend the show though. Most underrated and probably even the best sitcom.

This looks incredibly stupid. I don’t like American sitcoms, even the “cutting edge” ones like this aren’t funny to me. Meh…

@dbg3006 I was linked to this video. I didn’t laugh at any of the scenes shown.

Those TV executives are probably thinking
“I’ve made a huge mistake.”
September 29th, 2011 at 10:18 pm
Amazing show lol

@dbg3006 At first your comment feels a little bit sensational/exaggerated, but when I actually think about it, I can’t think of a better example of a bad decisions with a television shows.

I feel bad for Buster, George Michael, & Maeby. They never got to do a chicken dance, did they?
September 30th, 2011 at 1:31 am
the funny thing is that michael’s chicken is probably the worst one
September 30th, 2011 at 2:14 am
I’m not sure which chicken I like best… Probably George’s and Lindsay’s ex aequo and Gob’s is right after them. I don’t like Lucille’s chicken
