Get ready for an electrifying episode of DrunkenPM Radio as I welcome the esteemed James Grenning to unravel the world of Test Driven Development (TDD). Agile 2023 is just around the corner, and during the conference, James will be leading a workshop called  "Your First Test-Driven Development." While TDD is not a new concept, it remains unfamiliar to many tech professionals who didn't come from a development background. That's precisely why I reached out to James and invited him to join me for this inspiring podcast.

If you're immersed in Agile or managing technology projects, and TDD is still a mystery to you, this is a must-watch. TDD is a game-changer, and understanding it is crucial for your professional growth. I assure you that this episode will significantly impact your job in the best way possible.

Now, let's talk about the best part of this podcast: our incredible guest, James Grenning. He personifies the epitome of old-school OG Agile Royalty. Not only is James one of the co-authors of the Agile Manifesto, but he also penned the definitive book on TDD. That's not all—James is the brilliant mind behind Planning Poker, a technique that has revolutionized Agile estimation. Stay tuned as we delve into this fascinating topic towards the end of our conversation.

But wait, there's more! At the conclusion of our interview, James will unveil a remarkable system he designed and developed for his training classes. When off-the-shelf solutions fell short of meeting his requirements, James took matters into his own hands. His ingenuity and determination to deliver top-notch training are truly awe-inspiring.

Don't miss out on this captivating podcast episode. James Grenning's wisdom and expertise will reshape the way you approach your work. Join me as we embark on a journey of discovery and empowerment with one of the brightest minds in the world of Test Driven Development.
