#5amMesterScrum Show #453 Live -  Perspectives in reference to Others and Time to Market take into account Customer Base - Today's topics:  (1) Perspectives: It is a cold rainy Monday here in Eastern US, but I sure bet people on West Coast would Love some rain and others would love to be working, plus fun, bugs, time and (2) Time to Market where I'm watching my France TV where they see a 100K per Day COVID trend and doing the math is about 2 years for every person in France to get COVID.  Classic vaccines 10 years or per Mayo 12 to 18 months, well at that rate the vaccine will never make the market in time.  So we need agile and disruptors to change the industry in a safe way.  In 2 years there won't be a market for the vaccine.

#5amMesterScrum Show #450 Live - NO Managers in Retrospective and The Ultimate Disruptor SpaceX  - Today's topics:  (1) So I'm facilitating a retro (actually a few recently) and I allow a manger to attend and what I hear is "from what I understand" from the manager when I ask the team a question.  They totally don't get self-organizing, and (2) Industry Disruptors! SpaceX I would say is a Classic Disruptor in the Space Industry.  The gall of them to build a space ship in the open air swap of Texas. LOL
