Yes... you are not seeing things. This is really a call for your assistance with Episode 017, which was originally published about 6-7 years ago.

In that episode we interview Sabrina Mancini Johnson and every 2-3 months we get a request from a listener if we could please send them the templates mentioned in that episode from way back when.

Unfortunately... we don't have them. But maybe you do?

So if you happen to be a long time listener to the podcast and you still have a copy of those templates from Sabrina, then please send them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and everyones gratitude will be yours!

Hello everyone. This is Cornelius Fichtner. with a quick call for every body's help back in episode 17 of the project management podcast. Yes, almost six years ago, seven years ago. I believe we did an interview with Sabrina Mancini Johnson. And there we talk about how to turn the search for your next job into a project. And Sabrina for this interview had created templates deliverables and all, and at the time she said, Oh, just tell your listeners to give me a drop me a line, sent me an email and I will send them the templates. So unfortunately I never got those templates. And every two to three months, one listener, a fresh listener writes to me and says, Hey, how can I get these templates from Sabrina? Now I've contacted Sabrina's she doesn't have those templates anymore. And I was just wondering, are there any old time listeners out there who by pure chance still have these templates from episode seventeen? So if you are one of those old time listeners and you still have the templates from episode 17 from Sabrina Mancini Johnson, then why don't you attach them to an email and send them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so that I have a copy, I can upload them to the PM podcast website, and then everybody in the future has access to them. So thank you very much. And of course, until next time.

http://www.agileprepcast.com - This free lesson of The Agile PrepCast will be describing the Agile method called Lean. The term "Lean Software Development" was first used in the book Lean Software Development: An Agile Toolkit, written by Mary and Tom Poppendieck. Lean Software Development is a translation of lean manufacturing and lean IT principles and practices used in the Toyota Production System and then adapted for software development. Seven basic principles form the foundation of Lean Software Development, which in turn are implemented in an Agile project management environment by employing a set of 22 supporting tools.

http://www.pm-prepcast.com/agile - In this free Agile PrepCast lesson, we present to you one video from our discussion of the different Agile implementation methods in which we look Scrum. Scrum is by far the most popular method used today by the world's Agile project management teams, and is also one of the most rigid in terms of recommended practices and procedures.

Scrum project management is a unique way of managing work in an agile environment. You can certainly add value to the Scrum team as a project manager, and that starts with understanding how Scrum works, the artifacts and team roles.

At the heart of agile project management with scrum is the Agile iterative cycle called the Sprint, which is supported by different types of project team "Roles", meetings called "Events", and documentation and tools called "Artifacts". Scrum is embraced by most organizations that not only want to implement Agile principles quickly on their projects, but are also interested in implementing Agile principles across their entire organization.
