5am Mester Scrum

#5amMesterScrum Show #483 Live - Not Everyone Knows Agile and New Teammates - Today's topics:  (1) Agile Ambassadors Don't assume everyone understands Agile or Scrum, watching SkyNews Australia calling SpaceX a "Spectacular" Setback clearly show the public does not understand failure and  (2) Having New Team Member join and creating space to be a part of the team. Welcome Betty to Team 5amMesterScrum.

#5amMesterScrum Show #481 Live - SpaceX Great Demo and Great Fail was of the Best Reviews Ever - Today's topics:  (1) SpaceX did it and flew their SpaceShip with over 500,000 stakeholders watching validating all kinds of capability and (2) Then Ultimate destruction on the landing but they learned more by failure then I believe they would have learned by success.  Like I say you learn more by giving the keys to the demo to the customer or PO than running it yourself.

#5amMesterScrum Show #480 Live -  Big Rollback at the Last Second for SpaceX Starship and CD Business Rules (Go or No Go) - Today's topics:  (1) SpaceX did a Big Roll Back yesterday with a mere seconds to Go with Launch, but that is OK because they have the culture to allow that to happen in a Good Way (as a PO could you make that call?) and (2) Continuous Delivery or Deployment Business Rules a computer sees either 0 or 1, yes or no, it is not human on accessing the risk associated with launch.  Teams have to understand and be prepared for the computer not letting work into production.

#5amMesterScrum Show #479 Live -  Honoring Chuck Yeager by Knowing Your System and Real Value vs. what agile accountants think is value (2 stories from his biography) - Today's topics:  (1) Chuck Yeager knew everything about the aircraft system he flew and worked with the really smart people in the room as any scrum master should do and (2) During Vietnam the agile accountants were all over him and he figured out a way to satisfy them and still get value out of his fleet. He basically cheated.

#5amMesterScrum Show #478 Live -  Mountain Blockers and Cut Time In Half like digging a train tunnel from two sides - Today's topic:  (1) Using a combination of improvement both from the organization or enterprise side and the team side at the same time.  This cuts the time to implement in half.  Just like digging a train tunnel with both sides starting at the same time and meeting in the middle. I call it E&T Tunnels (Enterprise & Team) to cut transformation time in 1/2.
