We're reading **[Risk: A User's Guide](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56845753-risk)** by Stanley McChrystal & Anna Butrico. We plan to read and discuss through chapter 3 at our meeting December 18th, continue our discussion January 1st, and conclude our discussion January 15th. But we're agile, we'll take more (or less) time as appropriate.

(The Zoom link is visible right after you register. The link to the Miro discussion board will be posted in the Zoom chat once the meeting is underway.)

Do you have a book to recommend? Please submit [this form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWFqUwXoxZH0CJBc3L22cIxst_dTcsnQa9V0mROqm8E6RflA/viewform), so our program committee can consider it.

Remote Process

Our process is in flux -- we're experimenting with new moderation and recording techniques, so please be on time and please be patient. And expect a call for participation -- we want this to be your book club.

Discussion Notes

for this and all our books may be found [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BxDEAm8kaxz3Y2JtX25vYkR1LWs?resourcekey=0-ZDjTg-2g4E_vYz1rn4J-Rw). Notes are open to comment by anyone (please do!) and you'll also find how to get REIMBURSEMENT for books and the READING LIST for possible future books. (Discussion notes may or may not be taken in future -- we're experimenting to see what's valuable.)

About Book Club

We meet most months the 1st and 3rd Thursdays, so you can put that in your calendar. When and if we resume physical meetings we'll feed you, and if you participate in most of the sessions, we'll even reimburse you for the book, so save that receipt.

We have not recorded Book Club sessions in the past, but that could change:

Agile Austin Book Club: Risk, session 2

Online event

Let’s start the year the way we work best. Together.

Join us for an in-person happy hour at **Bouldin Acres**, a relaxed beer garden on W Braker with BBQ, cocktails, and plenty of outdoor seating. No agenda and no pressure. Just space to reconnect, meet new people, and ease into the new year with good conversation.

We’ll use this time to welcome familiar faces, introduce new ones, and set the tone for another year of learning and community. Consider it our unofficial warm-up to “Keep Austin Agile 2026.”

**Event Details**
**Date:** January 14
**Time:** 6:00 pm
**Location:** Bouldin Acres – W Braker
**Address:** 1806 W Braker Ln, Austin, TX 78758

Come for the community. Stay for the conversations that spark the year ahead.
