 VP to open your seat for another attendee.**&#13\;\n&#13\;\nJoin us for 
 a beer (or beverage of your choice) and a snack at the Rogue Eastside Pu
 b to discuss The Age of Agile by Stephen Denning. (Our poll tied twice\,
  so I flipped the coin\, as promised. If you want to read Start with Why
  by Sinek\, we'll do that next time!) Here's the book in a nutshell from
  the book flap: &quot\;The Age of Agile unpacks the groundbreaking ideas
  and practices that are remaking the very foundations of business. Repor
 ting from the front lines\, Denning takes you deep into the Agile manage
 ment revolution. Denning demystifies Agile by providing three “laws” tha
 t make it practical and clear: • The Law of the Small Team shows how to 
 operate in a “VUCA” world (Volatility\, Uncertainty\, Complexity\, Ambig
 uity). Using this law\, difficult problems are split into manageable bat
 ches and performed by small cross-functional\, self-governing teams\, wo
 rking iteratively in short cycles\, with fast feedback from customers an
 d end-users. • The Law of the Customer flows from the epic shift in powe
 r in the marketplace from seller to buyer\, and the need for firms to ra
 dically accelerate their ability to make decisions and change direction 
 in light of unexpected events and new customer demands. It amounts to a 
 Copernican revolution in management. • The Law of the Network (the linch
 pin of Agile) illustrates what’s involved in making the entire organizat
 ion Agile.&quot\; Let's ponder and talk about how his &quot\;Laws&quot\;
  help us or hinder us on our agile journeys. Join the #reading channel i
 n our AgilePDX slack workspace to share your thoughts &amp\; ideas about
  this and future reads. Not part of AgilePDX slack? Send a request to ag
