#5amMesterScrum Show #550 Live - Rushing to "Complete" Sprints for Wrong Reasons - Today's topic: (1) I was watching my son get upset for not getting his homework done (besides working non-value add like video games/youtube).  It quickly reminded me of so many scrum teams going crazy to "Complete" a sprint: rushing testing, asking for part credit on points or splitting stories.  But why the rush are we landing on Mars or putting ads for Superbowl or launching a new market tomorrow? It is artificial Stress that we give ourselves. Where is your nightly CI/CD or DevOps as they should help reduce stress.

#5amMesterScrum Show #549 Live - Scrum Team of 1, Overkill and Direct Message is Ok probably better - Today's topics: (1) Thanking Duncan Maddox for the topic idea of a Scrum team of One, let's talk overkill and (2) Direct Messaging is OK, but so many avoid it causing time waste or lost key points, but I'm not saying be a jerk.  That would be over the top bad.

#5amMesterScrum Show #548 Live - Daily Scrum +15 or 30 and Why it's Wrong? - Today's topic: (1) Twenty years ago the +15 or +30 minute time after Daily Scrum might have been useful.  But now a days most organizations have all kinds of mechanisms for teams to connect on their own.  If not then Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches need to challenge it.  Maybe the team needs to ID an overlap window for multi time zone teams, but that is an awareness thing and not a meeting.

#5amMesterScrum Show #544 Live - Mars Agile or Waterfall or Bust - Today's topics: (1) Today NASA is planning to land on Mars in a very deadline dominant fashion.  They want to be there at a specific time and a specific place, so the signals at landing reach Earth. So should it be a waterfall or Agile Project?  I would argue "Agile" to reduce risk and get as much test data and working software all the time, verse towards the end and before the deadline
