Planet Product Owner

Sometimes surviving agile at scale feels like a never-ending cycle of defeat. There are ways to get through it and there’s light at the end of the tunnel. It doesn’t always have to be a train wreck. Some agile coaches believe that scaling agile is not even agile but there are tons of frameworks that help address the issues. If there’s one thing that SAFe, LeSS, etc. have in common, it is to address one area of your scaled framework that is often the culprit for so much confusion. This episode will address a few things to help you with that journey. This episode would be good for leaders, project managers, product, owners, scrum, masters, and agile teams.

One thing lots of agile or scrum teams have in common is that they experience carry over work. Sometimes, we can do it and still survive and meet our goals. But if carry over work becomes the norm and we are unable to get out of the trend, it is problematic for us. There are several different culprits that lead to carry over work, but none is worse than the backlog hijacker. This episode is great for agile leaders, scrum masters, dev teams, software managers and of course the Product Owner! We'll explore some ways to diagnose and triage this problem we have and learn how to say bye bye to our backlog hijacker! Thank you all for your continued support and sharing the podcast! I love being your Practical Agile Coach!

Helpful hints are always what you get on the Planet Product Owner Podcast!

I've also reached a decision, finally!

Just because we are agile, it doesn't mean we don't plan. If you are a scrum or Agile Product Owner or Product Manager, remember that the team needs your input for the sprint planning event. This episode gives you some practical tips and guidance to help your sprint planning event go smoothly. Remember to subscribe to the podcast, tell a friend and let me know how I can help! scott@planetproductowner.org

It’s the final round folks! This episode will help the product owner and the Dev team put all three parts of the sprint backlog together in the full cycle! How exciting! How do we know what a product backlog item looks like and how do we know if we’re giving the team the right information to have the right conversations? This episode will explore some of those details and help you with some think of patterns to help increase flow of value. Flow of value is actually what we’re seeking in agile software development, particularly in scrum. Help me stay ad-free!! https://coff.ee/planetproductowner [https://coff.ee/planetproductowner]
