I just released a new episode of This Agile Life, Episode 23 - Overloading Yoga Positions.
In this show we discuss:
In this show we discuss:
- What does role overloading mean?
- Swarming / the ‘Whole Team Approach’.
- Does it have a positive or negative connotation?
- The positive and the negative of the definition.
- Negative: When one person tries to become a super hero by doing everything.
- Negative: Filling in when a team is understaffed.
- Negative: When people try to do too much and end up doing nothing well.
- Positive: People swarming to get work done as a team.
- Positive: People pushing their comfort level to expand their skills and add facets to their skill profile.
- Revisiting the concept of the T-Shaped Person
- Risk vs. Reward when role overloading
- Potential for errors vs. making forward progress.
- It’s better to make small amounts of progress rather than no progress.
- It’s better to make small amounts of progress rather than creating additional work in progress.
- Can metrics be used to help manage and assess the success of role overloading?
- Mob programming. http://mobprogramming.org
- A game to demonstrate the benefits of role overloading.
Thanks to Jason Tice and Dr. Lee McCauley for co-hosting this episode.

The link seems to point to a podcast from iOhYes.
Woody,
Thanks for pointing this out. The perma-link was not so permanent. I have fixed the link in the post. You can also find the show with this link: http://www.thisagilelife.com/episode-23-overloading-yoga-positions/
While the information on the page that the link points to is about the Overloading Yoga Positions, the podcast that plays is an iOhYes podcast about Tweeter Feed scrolling. The dates there seem to be wrong as well. I might be missing something, but it seems to be incorrect.
Woody,
Thanks so much for pointing this out. Please check again. I have corrected the problem.
Regards,
John Sextro
