Summary
Russ and Bett discuss how IT development teams can keep up with the rapid pace of change by leveraging lessons learned from other paradigms--in this case, from theatre. Much of the inspiration for this particular podcast came from the book Artful Making, but clearly Bett, as an improv actor and IT architect, has drawn her own conclusions about how improvisational comedy can also provide useful lessons.
