#5amMesterScrum Show 653 Live - Customer Access No. 1, Status is not Value! - Today's topic: (1) The other day I was with a group and the manager was describing a system they built to capture feedback and provide visibility in Feature status.  In the back of my mind is they needed more courage to allow the customer access to the existing systems they have and not waste money.  Status is not Value!

#5amMesterScrum Show 651 Live - Sprint Review is UAT Change your Paradigm - Today's topic: (1) User acceptance testing UAT should be either your Sprint Review or during the Sprint.  I was coaching a PO the other day and the PO took on this challenge to make the goal of using the Sprint Review and get the UAT feedback in the Sprint and not a month later.  I challenge anyone to tell me why it can't be.  Hey if you are making software that takes more than two hours for the customer to use then you are doing something wrong!

#5amMesterScrum Show 647 Live - When I See It I will Know It and  Fortune Cookie Saturday - Today's topics: (1) How many times do we hear "I will know when I see it" and people question the value behind a Sprint Review?  The other day I saw a box load of telegraph glass insulators real cheap and then I came up with an entire interactive display idea for our museum.  But if I did not see the box I don't think I would have thought of it and (2) Fortune Cookie Saturday: One minute of time worth more than one oz. of gold.

#5amMesterScrum Show 644 Live - Goals Keys to Enjoyment - Today's topic: (1) Goals are keys to enjoying what we do from a personal, team and corporate perspective.  Goals based on metrics are not Goals and they do not create passion and enjoyment.  Sprint Goals help create product to review with the customer, increase velocity is not a goal.  OKRs help build goals for the future, like automating old testing routines or codes, so we can problem solve new fun things or challenges.
