JD Meier Gets Results the Agile Way
Carl and Richard talk to JD Meier from Microsoft about leading an agile life. JD talks about how he learned to be effective as a product manager at Microsoft, and how that lead to developing the Agile Life book. It may have a developer undertone, but the Agile Life is aimed at everyone.

JD Meier
JD recently joined the Microsoft Enterprise Strategy team. Before that, he was a Principal Program Manager on the Microsoft patterns & practices team for more than ten years, leading distributed teams around the world, building software and prescriptive guidance. During that time, JD shipped several "blue books" including Improving Web Application Security, Improving .NET Application Performance and Scalability, and the Microsoft Architecture Guide. The blue books are prescriptive guidance to help customers succeed on the Microsoft platform. His first non-technical book is Getting Results the Agile Way, which is a personal results system that helps you make the most of what you've got.
