So I’d invite you to, if you have a topic you want as a future episode, send us an email at or tweet it to us with the #AgileThoughtPodcast and we will see about responding to that in the very near future. One of our goals here is to bring you agile topics in a really approachable way and we take a pretty broad view of what an agile topic might be.
