About us
LighthouseLive is a meetup series exploring how organizations can move from estimation theater to data-driven, predictable delivery.
Each session dives into a practical topic around forecasting, flow, and decision-making with real examples and tools that actually work.
What can you expect:
Hands-on demos of our open-source tool Lighthouse—bring your own data if you like
Mini-workshops on flow metrics, probabilistic forecasting, right-sizing, and more
Break-out discussions so you leave with insights you can apply the very next day
How we roll:
Pragmatic, open, and value-driven. No sales pitches, no buzzword bingo—just practical experience-sharing and actionable tips for boosting throughput, improving predictability, and reducing wasteful meetings.
Who should join?
All experience levels are welcome. Whether you’re plotting your first cumulative-flow diagram or already running daily Monte-Carlo simulations, you’ll find supportive peers here.
Sign up, bring your questions, and let work flow again!

Beyond Burnups with Nick Brown
·OnlineOnlineBurnup and burndown charts have been the default way teams forecast delivery for decades. But in modern software/product development, with high variability, multi-team initiatives, and shifting scope, these deterministic charts give a false sense of certainty and, at best, a 50% chance of being right.
Nick will walk us through evidence from real teams that supports this claim and show why probabilistic methods offer far more reliable forecasts.
We’ll then go further. Even the standard probabilistic questions of “When will it be done?” or “What will we get?” fall apart in most organisations because they assume teams work on one “thing” at a time. Nick will introduce more advanced approaches that model feature-level WIP, multi-team scenarios, cumulative probability, and dependencies. All of which will draw on real examples and the free tools available (which you can use too!) to help teams forecast with confidence.
Free Give-Away
We'll give away one free copy of Nick's new book "Beyond Burnups" at the end of the meetup!About Nicolas Brown
Nick is a product and agility consultant specialising in flow and data, dedicated to helping organisations and teams focus on outcomes via a principle-based approach when adopting new ways of working.
He’s incredibly passionate about data and telemetry generated by teams and using this for a data-driven approach when it comes to coaching at all levels of the organisation.
He is the author of the book, Real World Agility as well as the creator of many open-source templates available on GitHub.10 attendees
