KSD anyone?!

The same 3 questions...UGH!

Let's talk about those dang old same 3 questions we ask in the daily standup and why they hold you back. The Daily sync is sunk, the standup is everyone sitting down, the daily scrum is daily scum. We have to get away from this pattern and have better engagement. If you are a product owner, scrum master, agile dev team member who seems to be NOT getting value out of your daily scrum, sync, standup; whatever you call it - you have to listen to this old school ScottyG episode. It's a difficult conversation, but that's how we grow! scott@planetproductowner.org

What's the plan for the PI?

What you are bringing into PI or quarterly planning is the input needed for you and the team to make your commitments. How you qualify that input is a critical step that lots of teams miss. I'm not talking definition of ready on a micro-level in this episode, but I am talking about the macro-level on making sure you have a smoother large-room planning event. Tune in for ScottyG's 3 keys to pre-planning for your next interval! scott@planetproductowner.org

Keep the team together

I see the need to help you defend against all kinds of hijackers. Today's episode we will walk through how to keep the hijackers away from your team because hey, we need a stable agile team and we are doing just fine without you coming in and splitting us up. In fact, we don't even want your help adding new people unless we ask you to do it! I see this alot, in a scaled agile world particularly. How can you defend the team, save them from the forces that may want to come in a break them up? Let's dive into 3 things I think will help you keep that high-performing team, improve the functioning of the team and show folks that yeah - take a hike! scott@planetproductowner.org
