Speaking of Sorry... attendance 7/3 was, shall we say, underwhelming. So...

We're reading **[Getting to Sorry: The Art of Apology at Work and at Home](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/176443849-getting-to-sorry?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=3Nsc9sOWX4&rank=1)**, by Marjorie Ingall & Susan McCarthy. We'll read and discuss through Chapter 6 at our July 17th meeting, and expect to conclude our discussion August 7th. 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.)

And if you want a jump on reading the next book, it's [Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25666050-algorithms-to-live-by?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=z3lyjbNj9G&rank=1), by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths.

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:

Can you imagine an organization agile like a Scrum team? Ever heard about TOC?

Agility in smaller teams and products is well known and most companies are using this wildly. But scaling these good concepts is still a challenge. The problem is the "communication bandwidth" so simply do more of the same does not work. But maybe you heard about Theory of Constraints (TOC) already (DevOps is one concept derived out of it) but it contains more - it contains way to scale agility in a full self-organized way with minimalistic overhead! This meetup will give you an idea how this is possible and what dramatic power gain you can get!"

**Speaker: Wolfram Müller** is internationally renowned as a speaker, author, and expert on bottleneck management and self-organized changes based on the "Theory of Constraints." As early as 1987, he discovered the fun of fast projects during his studies and later as head of the PMO at 1&1 Internet AG. Since 2006, he has been making this fun and his many years of expertise available as a consultant: Over 50 companies, from start-ups and SMEs to corporations with 6,500 employees from all sectors, have benefited from his knowledge and methods to date. Whether in the automotive sector, special machine construction, IT, or medical technology. Companies such as Festo, Endress+Hauser, Megger, Otto Fuchs, and Bosch swear by his expertise. The results are always similar: at least +50% more projects with the same resources and a reduction in project times of 25-50% within a few weeks.

Join us for a great program at the Agile Austin Product and AI SIG! Once you sign up, you'll receive an email with a calendar event and Zoom link.

**Session Title:**
Building in the Age of AI Noise

**Abstract:**
With AI hype everywhere, it’s harder than ever to stay focused on building real, valuable products. In this session, I’ll share tactical perspective on what actually matters when building in the age of AI — what to ignore, what to lean into, and how to stay grounded while everyone else chases the noise.

**Speaker: Arturo Piña, President, ProductCamp Austin**
Arturo is a musician turned startup generalist turned investor with 10+ years of building “zero to one” products and streamlining operations. He has navigated the rollercoaster of startups—founding a 7-figure business, scaling companies, and celebrating two exits.

**Slack Community for the Agile Austin Product and AI SIG:**
