Wrong question.

In our latest Surf the Chaos episode, we revisit a topic that keeps coming up — organizations aren't choosing between methodologies anymore. They're dissolving the barrier entirely and just grabbing whatever tool works. Multifaceted skills are winning over rigid roles.

And in our Throwing Bones segment, we get into something that'll resonate with anyone job hunting right now: the ATS screening system is starting to crack. Resumes are being gamed, fake candidates are appearing in interviews, and the whole process is slowly having a break down — but there's a glimmer of hope with groups working to bring humans back into hiring.

Episode 4 is out now.

Your skills define where you're going.

On the latest episode of Surfing Chaos, Stuart and Dave dig into why that distinction matters more than ever — LinkedIn is reporting a 25% increase in skill-based job postings, growing five times faster than traditional hiring criteria.


The skills rising to the top aren't technical tools. They're human ones: analytical thinking, resilience, emotional intelligence, curiosity. And they raise an interesting question — is project management a skill, or a professional craft built over decades?

Episode 3 is out now. Link in the comments.

EP002]]>Busy brain? Moving feet? This one's for you.

In this episode, Dave and Stu cover the tools, trends, and mindset shifts worth your attention right now. Stu makes the case for a surprisingly powerful low-tech feedback tool (index cards and envelopes — trust the process), then calls out the "waiting trap" that's keeping too many people stuck while the world moves on without them.

Dave shares a heads-up on the upcoming Enterprise Agility Manifesto, dropping March 3rd from PMI and the Agile Alliance — and tempers expectations with just the right amount of agile-community realism.

Plus: upcoming training classes, a CSPO in Edinburgh, a talk in Finland, and a book your mother-in-law might just love.

Short. Sharp. Worth your time.
