READING NOTE · UPDATED 2026
Read the talks as a connected body of work
This presentation index belongs to the original blog. The recovered downloads and professional conference sources provide a way to examine the author’s arguments directly. Keep event dates attached to the materials. When using a slide in a current discussion, connect its assertion to the relevant evidence rather than presenting a talk as proof of a local result.
A practical next step
- Open an available original presentation.
- Record its date and central claim.
- Connect the claim to a current observation or an explicit experiment.

Source capture · 2009-01-29 ↗I’ve made a few minor changes to the site so that I can add more content. I’ve replaced the ‘Agile Glossary’ with a ‘Presentations’ tab in the main navigation at the top of the site. You’ll find all of my presentations (well, almost all) available for download.
I’ve also added my most recent ‘Lean Techniques for IT Professionals’ presentation in this section. I’ve had quite a few requests for a copy of this deck so you’ll find the full version available here. Enjoy.
