The Agile Coffee Podcast

My buddy Dave Prior, CST (drunkenpm@gmail.com) visited, and we talked about his fun podcasts. Specifically we mentioned these two episodes of Agile and Project Management – DrunkenPM Radio: * Human Hacking with Christopher Hadnagy and Dr. Abbie Marono * The Art of War with Gary Gagliardi Dave is also a CST with the Scrum Alliance and active with Project Management Institute. Until recently, we had both been working for LeadingAgile. We also talked about Lithespeed’s recent Global Agility + Innovation Summit [https://www.linkedin.com/events/globalagility-innovationsummit7183851433526497280/comments/]. Dave was interviewing some luminaries for the event. We spoke briefly about Vic’s Coach’s Toolkit, [https://agilecoachingcards.com/] A-CSM classes [https://onlinescrumclass.com/acsm-advanced-scrummaster.php], and the renovations to his YouTube Coffeehouse [https://www.youtube.com/@agile-coffee/videos] studio.

It’s summertime, again, and I sat down for coffee and a chat with Angela Johnson and Christian Antoine of the Collaborative Leadership Team.

It’s summertime, the season of recent grads sending out their brand new resumes. I sat down with the team behind the Meta-Cast [https://www.meta-cast.com] podcast, Josh Anderson (@nosrednAhsoJ [https://twitter.com/nosrednAhsoJ]) and Bob Galen (@bobgalen [https://twitter.com/bobgalen]), to talk about this time-honored document as it relates to the Scrum master role. They shared some great perspectives and tips, some of which might change how you think about resumes. After speaking, I combined takeaways from our conversation with a bunch of other research, interviews and data about the resume for Scrum masters and assembled it all on the Scrum master resume page [https://agilecoffee.com/scrum-master-resume/].
