#5amMesterScrum Show #523 Live - Pitiful Work Flow and Timesheets in SAFe Mastery - Today's topics: (1) Amateur or Lazy using the same Work Flows for Stories and Tasks in Jira, Azure, Rally, etc.. and (2) From my SPC class to achieve Mastery in Agile and SAFe they say get rid of timesheets, so why the heck do "trained" SAFe people ask for time on Tasks?

#5amMesterScrum Show #520 Live - Business Not At PI Planning, Let's do the Investment Math - Today's topic: (1) Just finished my SPC class this week, and it always puzzles me as to why Business Leaders or Managers might partially attend a PI Planning Session.  So I wanted to go through the expense of a single ART of 4 Teams, 10 people per team over a PI of 5 two week Sprints.  By the way the same applies to LeSS also. Good Stewardship?
