Ok, I will Google for this "weightedm velocity sensitive" keys. Thank you.

At the Moment I think I will go for a "Yamaha YDP-S52WH" (about $1000). Not easy portable, but that is also no Need. Next Weekend I will go to test it. Let's see

Weighted keys feel much like playing a real piano with all the moving parts...like they have some weight to them and not just cheap plastic. I forgot to mention that the keys should also be velocity sensitive...most of the decent ones are.
Yes I'm cheating on my bass! Thanks for remembering! Lately I've been playing bass lines on an acoustic guitar...put on Pandora Classic Rock and just play along.

I bought myself a Casio CDP-130BKC5 together with a stand three few years ago and have been very happy with it - it's an 88 key piano.
So I would definitely recommend either that particular piano or something similar.

I'd recommend a MIDI keyboard (controller), with all 88 keys, connected to a computer. A good one will have weighted keys, and be pressure sensitive, and come with pedals.
I use an older version of this[^] Studiologic controller and am very happy with it.
A good one won't be cheap, but still way less than a piano (assuming you already have something to plug it into).

The group I am in has been tasked with becoming "more agile." The manager, great guy, but is hardware oriented. Any recommendations for something that would support a gentle introduction to agile project management?

I never understood the concept of Agile (big A) Project Management - makes no sense. Agile is based on the Agile Manifesto Manifesto for Agile Software Development. It (Big A) is specifically about software. Take the manifesto and principles, and replace every "software" with "project". Does it make any sense? Project Management is much about planning, formal agreements, estimating, tracking, etc. It less about executing the plan, though many non-PM's think that is all PM is. Tell a real PM that you want him to run a project, but skip the formal processes and documentation, don't bother formalizing an agreement with the customer, and while you're at it, don't bother with a plan. See what they have to say.

I know what you mean. In practice though, software developers are frequently trying to do Agile in an organisation that still has a very project-oriented mindset. So, unless you're lucky enough to work somewhere where the entire organisation has an Agile mind-set, there are going to have to be compromises, and a good PM who understands Agile can be very helpful to bridge the gap.

We use Rally which while not brilliant serves its purpose for everyone from the department heads to the developers and testers.
There are a lot of difference denominations of the Agile religion - and it is a religion from what I have experienced of it. So you are also going to need to decide on how far into it you want to go, heck they even use the word 'ceremony' to describe a small group of slightly scruffy men standing up to talk about what their plans are for the day.
There are also plenty of courses that will take your money to train you on the Agile religion.

Everywhere I work these days does agile. Use JIRA and have a meeting each morning and you're agile.
Right?

Agile by itself is for feeble minded manager, who has less confidence for what he do and can do. At the end, the manager present the story board to cheat others while presenting the project. The interesting, part for a simple "click event" application features addition, you will 30-40 pages of story board, which has nothing to do with the application features.

Agile for hardware oriented managers:
- Etch project requirements onto a piece of glass.
- Smash glass with hammer.
- Distribute broken pieces to team.
- If a requirement is split across several shards, create an ad-hoc sub-team for that requirement.
- Large pieces are an indication that further analysis is required. Repeat from step 1.

Hey, easy on the guy and us, we're all learning.
The group I work with is like herding cats. You better bring some fish.
I actually think it might help us a bit - forcing us to document our pivots and what not due to decisions made by management outside the group. Well, it might and I have been called too trusting in the past. Funny thing is that it's outside management driving the "let's do agile" approach.

If you find this solution, I'd love to learn it, too.
My problem with Agile is that it is a simple concept: get a piece of work done and make sure the user likes it before doing too much that needs to be changed. The very core of the concept hates processes and procedures, yet every discussion of how to do Agile results in a war, every time, about which processes and procedures to use to accomplish it. Quite enigmatic!
My Agile experiences are that more time is spent meeting, planning, talking and dreaming than is actually spent DOING anything! I suspect others are coping better at this, but then again, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Anyway you look at it though, it is JUST grass.
