| 5/28/26 | AI in the room, helping non-technical teams actually use it | Conference season is back, and so are the real conversations. In this episode, Peter Maddison and Dave Sharrock catch up after a busy stretch of travel and dig into something Dave has been road-testing at conferences: why most people given access to AI tools freeze up, and what actually helps them move past that. Dave ran a workshop at the Global Scrum Gathering in Vancouver for non-technical roles - product managers, Scrum Masters, agile coaches - people who've been told "use AI" but have no... | 16m 45s | ||||||
| 5/14/26 | Why Your SDLC Is Broken with Andre Kaminski | Most organizations think they're doing AI. They've bought the licenses, rolled out the tools, and told the team to start using Copilot. But adding AI on top of a 40-year-old process isn't transformation. It's decoration. Andre Kaminski, Director of Advanced Technology Solutions at WorkSafeBC and author of "The AI-Native Software Development Lifecycle," joins Peter and Dave to talk about what it actually means to rebuild your delivery process around AI, not just bolt it on. They ... | 46m 13s | ||||||
| 5/7/26 | Intent Is Not Enough | Agreeing on an idea doesn't mean you both understood the same thing. Dave Sharrock and Peter Maddison dig into why shared context breaks down in practice, and how AI makes that problem harder to ignore. This week's takeaways: Intent is always imperfect. Define how you'll validate it, not just what it is.Ambiguity in context isn't a bug. It's necessary. Validation is how you confirm you're aligned.Drive down the cost of validation, not just the cost of building.If this landed, share it with so... | 14m 29s | ||||||
| 4/30/26 | Why AI and PowerPoints Are Quietly Killing Your Product Intent | It doesn't happen all at once. A great idea comes out of a strategy session. Someone turns it into a PowerPoint. Another person summarizes that PowerPoint with AI. By the time it reaches the team building it, the sharp edges are gone and nobody quite remembers what made the idea worth pursuing in the first place. Peter and Dave dig into a problem that's older than AI but getting harder to ignore. How does intent get lost as it travels through layers of people, tools, and artifacts? What does ... | 16m 59s | ||||||
| 4/23/26 | Do You Actually Have a Capacity Problem? | Most organizations think they have a capacity problem. They usually don't. What they have is a work-in-progress problem. And those two things call for very different solutions. In this episode, Peter Maddison and Dave Sharrock dig into one of the most persistent headaches in organizational management: capacity tracking. Why does the instinct to measure utilization backfire? Why does loading people up to 100% actually slow things down? And what should leaders be asking instead? The conversatio... | 19m 49s | ||||||
| 4/16/26 | Context Engineering and the Roles AI Is Rewriting | AI is changing how products get built. That part isn't news. But it's also changing who needs to do what - and that's a conversation most organizations haven't had yet. In this episode, Peter and Dave dig into one of the more interesting tensions emerging in 2026: as coding agents take on more of the actual development work, the thing that drives quality output isn't just better tooling. It's better context. Clear, structured, well-owned context that tells agents what you're actually trying t... | 21m 23s | ||||||
| 4/9/26 | AI Won't Fix a Structural Problem with AJ Bubb | A lot of organizations are betting that AI will make their teams faster. Some of them are right. Most are solving the wrong problem. AJ Bubb, founder of MxP Studio and host of Facing Disruption, joins Peter and Dave to talk about what actually happens when AI lands in a development team without fixing the system around it. If engineers can't get approvals, can't get access, and spend half their day in meetings, AI just means they produce more output the organization still can't handle. That's... | 41m 27s | ||||||
| 4/2/26 | Project vs. Product: Finding the Operating Model That Actually Fits | Most organizations are running some version of a project operating model or a product operating model - or, more honestly, an uncomfortable mix of both. In this episode, Peter Maddison and Dave Sharrock get into what actually separates these two approaches, where the tensions show up, and why copying what works somewhere else rarely lands the way you expect. They dig into how the nature of your work - ordered versus unordered, stable versus volatile - should shape how you plan, who holds deci... | 19m 46s | ||||||
| 3/26/26 | Who Decides? Sorting Out Product Managers, Project Managers, and Product Owners | Product manager. Product owner. Project manager. Three roles that often exist in the same organization, sometimes in the same meeting, and frequently stepping on each other's toes. In this episode, Dave and Peter break down what actually separates these roles, why the confusion happens, and what it costs when the lines blur in the wrong ways. They dig into the difference between a project-centric operating model and a product operating model, and why that distinction matters more than most or... | 22m 02s | ||||||
| 3/19/26 | AI Agent Governance in Production with Logan Kelly | Most organizations are somewhere between experimenting with AI agents and quietly hoping nothing breaks in production. Logan Kelly, CEO of Waxle AI, has spent a lot of time in that gap, and he thinks governance is the piece most teams are walking past too quickly. In this episode, Logan joins Peter and Dave to talk about what agentic governance actually looks like in practice, why a single consistent layer beats a pile of point solutions, and how to keep developers moving fast without letting... | 28m 20s | ||||||

| 3/12/26 | AI in the Real World, Not the Demo | Most conversations about AI focus on what it can do in a controlled setting. This one doesn't. Callum Sharrock spends his days deploying AI systems in real environments, watching them succeed and fail in ways no simulation predicted, and reporting what he finds. His conclusion? The trend line is steeper than most people realize, and snapshot thinking is getting a lot of organizations into trouble. Peter Maddison and Dave Sharrock dig into why reliability, not capability, is the real adoption ... | 35m 55s | ||||||
| 3/5/26 | Two Speeds, One Organization | Something is shifting inside organizations right now, and it's creating a split that's hard to ignore. AI is compressing the time it takes to generate, validate, and prototype ideas. Some people inside your org are moving at a completely different speed than the systems built to support them. Peter and Dave are calling it the great decoupling, and it's already happening whether you've noticed it or not. In this episode, they dig into why acceleration in one part of a system creates pressure e... | 19m 08s | ||||||
| 2/26/26 | AI and Automation with David Kilzer | A few times in tech, two streams collide, and everything changes. David Kilzer has spent 50 years putting automation to work in manufacturing and distribution around the world, and he thinks we're at one of those moments right now. The convergence of AI and humanoid robotics, in his view, is the biggest shift humankind has faced since fire. In this episode, David joins Peter and Dave to unpack where automation ends, and AI begins, why confusing the two creates brittle systems, and what organi... | 36m 56s | ||||||
| 2/19/26 | Flow Over Efficiency with Steve Pereira | Peter Maddison and Dave Sharrock sit down with Steve Pereira, founder of Visible Flow Consulting, to talk about something most organizations get backwards: the obsession with efficiency at the expense of actual flow. Steve works with large companies to improve operational performance through value stream mapping and continuous delivery. But the conversations he keeps having aren't about cutting costs. They're about untethering capable people from the systems that are quietly holding them back... | 39m 13s | ||||||
| 2/12/26 | AI Foghorns and the New Rules of Innovation | The marketplace is full of AI noise, but what does it actually mean for how organizations innovate and learn? Dave and Peter revisit the classic pioneers-settlers-town planners model and discover something unexpected: AI has reversed the flow. Where organizations once looked up the chain for scaling lessons, now large enterprises are watching small explorers to understand disruption, while entrepreneurs stitch together emerging technologies to solve real problems today. The old playbook doesn... | 22m 29s | ||||||
| 2/5/26 | Beyond On-Time, On-Budget with Deborah Kaminetzky | You know that expensive software system your company bought that everyone... stopped using? Deborah Kaminetzky sees this pattern constantly. Projects delivered on time and on budget that still fail because nobody wants to touch them. Deb brings a unique lens to technology implementation. She's a former attorney turned project management consultant who specializes in what she calls the "messy middle" – the space between buying software and actually getting value from it. Her secret? Translatio... | 29m 17s | ||||||
| 1/29/26 | Why Predictability Beats Features with Ivan Gekht | What happens when you need to ship software in environments where failure isn't just expensive, it's catastrophic? Ivan Gekht, CEO of Gehtsoft, joins Peter and Dave to challenge how we think about agile delivery in high-stakes, regulated systems. Forget the innovation lab. Ivan argues that real innovation happens 10 minutes at a time, every day, at your desk. He shares why learning without outcomes is just an expensive distraction, why retrospectives reveal more than sprint planning ever will... | 30m 43s | ||||||
| 12/18/25 | Five AI Predictions for 2026 | As we close out 2025, Peter and Dave are making predictions about what's coming in 2026, especially around AI, organizational change, and how teams actually work. They cover five key predictions: AI moves from tools to organizational capability: Organizations that invest in literacy, governance, and data foundations will pull ahead of those just sprinkling AI on top and hoping for the best.Critical thinking beats prompt engineering: The real competitive advantage won't be writing clever promp... | 24m 30s | ||||||
| 12/12/25 | Blind Spots and Better Leaders with Jill Macauley | What happens when your greatest strength becomes your biggest blind spot? In this episode, Peter and Dave sit down with Jill Macauley, COO of Behavioral Essentials, to explore how self-awareness shapes better leadership. They dig into why even talented leaders struggle with identity shifts, how generational expectations are changing the workplace, and why the best coaches focus on small tweaks rather than complete overhauls. From the reluctant engineer-turned-manager to the chef who can't slo... | 35m 18s | ||||||
| 12/4/25 | Rethinking HR as a product with Josh Hill | In this episode, Peter Maddison and Dave Sharrock sit down with Josh Hill, an HR innovator who's challenging the traditional transactional approach to people management. Josh shares his unconventional journey from the Australian military to progressive HR, where he's pioneering the concept of "work as a product" at marketing agency Tier 11 and through his recruiting venture, Super Hired. Josh explains how HR teams can shift from rushing to solutions toward discovery-led approaches that treat ... | 40m 54s | ||||||
| 11/27/25 | AI Tools for Product Managers: Beyond Just Writing User Stories | Product managers and product owners are drowning in documentation, vision statements, roadmaps, and backlogs. But what if AI could handle the heavy lifting, freeing you up to actually talk to customers? In this episode, Dave and Peter explore how large language models are changing product management. They go beyond the obvious use cases (like generating user stories) to discuss upstream opportunities: building product strategy, validating market positioning, and testing ideas against competit... | 19m 43s | ||||||
| 11/20/25 | Generative AI Readiness with Justin Trombold | In this episode, Peter Maddison and Dave Sharrock welcome Justin Trombold, President and Founder of Antison Advisors, to discuss the parallels between agile transformation and generative AI adoption in organizations. Justin shares insights from his work helping companies navigate generative AI readiness, revealing that the biggest challenges aren't technical; they're organizational. From end-user proficiency to cross-functional collaboration, the conversation explores why companies struggle ... | 40m 40s | ||||||

| 11/7/25 | Empowering Organizations from the Inside with Barbara Whittmann | Welcome to Definitely Maybe Agile! In this episode, Peter Maddison and Dave Sharrock sit down with Barbara Whittmann, founder of the Digital Wisdom Collective, to explore how real organizational change happens from the middle out. Barbara shares her 25 years of experience fixing broken digital transformation projects and reveals why the "juicy middle" of organizations holds the key to sustainable change.

| 10/30/25 | Navigating Change Through Leadership and Culture with Hanna Bauer | When Hanna Bauer's publishing business faced a perfect storm of budget cuts, industry disruption, and the ebook revolution, she learned that Six Sigma processes weren't enough.
