In this episode of Agile Product Hub: Deep Dives, we explore one of the most misunderstood (and often skipped) parts of product development: discovery.

Too many teams rush to delivery with half-baked ideas and unclear outcomes. We’re flipping that script.

I break down:

• What real Agile discovery looks like in practice
• The dangers of solution-first thinking
• How discovery drives value, alignment, and customer outcomes
• Practical tips to embed discovery into your sprint rhythm

Whether you’re a Product Owner, Product Manager, Scrum Master, or engineering leader—this episode will sharpen your thinking and challenge your defaults.

If you’ve ever asked:
 “Are we building the right thing, or just building it right?”
…this episode is for you.

In Part 2 of this special Agile Product Hub mini-series, we continue the deep dive into what it means to thrive—not just survive—as a developer, tester, or technical contributor in Agile environments.

Building on the foundation from Part 1, this episode takes it further, focusing on:

•  Overcoming blockers and making your voice heard
•  How to contribute to continuous improvement without being “the complainer”
•  Navigating refinement, retrospectives, and technical excellence
•  Becoming a trusted, high-impact member of your Scrum or Kanban team

Whether you’re working in a sprint, flowing with Kanban, or somewhere in between—this episode offers practical tools and reflective prompts to help you grow.

In this energising two-part special, we kick off a ground-level look at what it really means to thrive as a developer, tester, or technical team member in Scrum and Kanban environments. Based on Matthew Coxall’s practical guide How To Thrive as a Development Team Member, Part 1 dives into the foundational mindsets, team dynamics, and delivery flow strategies that turn average teams into high-impact ones.

We explore:

• What “thriving” actually means for devs and testers in Agile
•  Key mindset shifts that unlock collaboration and autonomy
•  Making sense of flow, WIP, and self-organisation in real teams
•  How to stop surviving sprints—and start shaping them

If you're a developer, tester, or even a Scrum Master trying to support your team better—this one’s built for you.

Episode 2: Guiding the Agile Journey – The Scrum Master’s Real Role
In this episode of Agile Product Hub, the NotebookLM Deep Dive hosts turn their focus to Agile How To: Navigate the Agile Journey as a Scrum Master. This isn't just a look at servant leadership—it's a deep conversation about what it really means to guide, challenge, and support teams in today’s complex product environments.

From Chapter 5 onwards, we explore:

•  The evolving responsibilities of modern Scrum Masters
•  How to coach teams beyond ceremony and compliance
•  Navigating resistance, enabling self-organisation, and creating space for growth
•  The shift from doing Agile to being Agile—and helping others get there too

If you’ve ever wondered how Scrum Masters can drive real change without controlling the team, this episode brings insight, challenge, and inspiration.
