While the focus of this recorded talk is Agile Project Management, speaker Scott Ambler has some good thoughts about high-tech careers in general. About 30 minutes in, he discusses the concept of the Generalist/Specialist worker -- someone who has a speciality, but also has a working knowledge of other related areas. This is something that I have talked about in the past. In fact, I have linked below to columns where I have mentioned the need for being a generalist using Google SiteSearch.

Additionally, you will learn a little about Agile Project Management, Extreme Programming and more.
