In 2006, Oxygen Media CEO Geraldine (Gerry) Laybourne, the woman largely responsible for Nickelodeon's early success, partnered with her XP/Scrum development team to create a new mission and new revenue stream for her company. This experience report covers product conception through initial release of a single product. It describes how Gerry's leadership qualities paired with agile practices to engender deep mutual trust and collective ownership over technical execution and business outcome. This unbounded collaboration provides a template for future projects at Oxygen and other organizations with innovation as part of their agile product development strategy.
Ken is Vice President for Software Development at Oxygen Media, a women-owned cable television network and interactive media company. Their current project is Ript (ript.com), is a consumer software product planned for Q4 2007 release. Ken's team has practiced Scrum and XP for four years. Wendy Friedlander and Oksana Udovitska, two developers on Ken's team are presenting a tutorial on "The Gentle Art of Pair Programming" at Agile 2007.
