Awaken Agile

In this episode, affectionately known as "s@#t we hate", Jordan and Adam talk about things that annoy them and also annoy teams they have encountered in their travels. Resemblances to humans, animals or inanimate objects in this episode should be deemed entirely coincidental.  

In this episode Adam talks about a team of teams that is not quite Scrum but is looking to adopt some of the practices and values. We dive in to a roles and responsibilities activity as a good start.

In this episode Adam follows up the previous episode on retrospectives, replaying a recent experience. Jordan has a great idea to augment your burn up chart. And to finish off we speak about courage as a Scrum Master.

In this episode, Adam and Jordan discuss all things retrospectives. They dive into different themes and structures and answer questions like, what value do you want to get from retros? Why do we have them? What happens when something goes wrong? We hope you enjoy. Feel free to send us an email here [email protected]

In this episode Adam and Jordan discuss what to do with the carving up of unfinished work at the end of a sprint. Should the team carry that work over to the next sprint, or not? And, what is the most important objective to focus on during the sprint. As a gift to you, our listeners, for us having a week off hang around until the end for a surprise.
