5am Mester Scrum

#5amMesterScrum Show #513 Live - Hyperconnected Watch Out and Take Breaks - Today's topics:  (1) I notice many scrum team or "agile" teams are so driven, but that not is why Scrum was created.  Watch out for the hyperconnected atmosphere of this virtual work environment.

#5amMesterScrum Show #512 Live - Why do we ask "When is the Next Meeting? and Estimation - Why vs. how - Today's topics:  (1) Why do teams ask when the next meeting is?  In scrum we have a cadence so that question is not needed.  My question is are you getting your stuff done? and  (2) Estimation is not a question of how, but of WHY!.

#5amMesterScrum Show #511 Live - Engagement is a 2 way Street, Buffers for meetings (a must) and Fortune Cookie Friday  - Today's topics:  (1) Do you think just because you set up a meeting everyone should be engaged?  Well did you create an engaging atmosphere?, (2) Buffers for your meeting just because the calendar meeting says start at 830am should you really start?  What is more valuable the time on a clock or having everyone ready and engaged? Please msg me if you say clock and (3) Fortune Cookie Friday: Be down-to-earth, good performance will be followed by promotion.

#5amMesterScrum Show #510 Live - Proto Scrum Teams need to Run Security Testing to Become Mature Scrum and preserve Business Continuity - Today's topic:  (1) Borrowing from Kanban and created the term proto Scrum Teams (lots of undone work) and their relation to security Testing.  Security experts' jobs are not to run tests but to (a) seek out and block new threats and (b) pass the automated security tests to the scrum team to run earlier in the environments.

#5amMesterScrum Show #508 Live - Business Continuity, Infrastructure Forgotten because they went to the Cloud and Terms of Agreement - Today's topics:  (1) Learning more about people using the Cloud as an excuse not to hire infrastructure people or let them go (bad move for business continuity and not Agile) and (2) Terms of agreement also puts business continuity at risk if you don't follow your own terms.  It is not a one way agreement.
