49. Coaching Concerns with Alan Dayley

Say, have you gone to iTunes or Stitcher to give us a review? It takes so little time and would sure help us a lot. Thanks!

A 100% Skype-based episode! Vic is joined by Brett Palmer (@brett_palmer), Zach Bonaker (@ZachBonaker) and first-time guest Alan Dayley (@DayleyAgile).

Today our heroes discuss the following topics:

* Is "Quality Assurance" an inhibitor to developing with agility?

* Scenario: You are an experienced ScrumMaster just joining a new and dysfunctional team. What is your first goal?

* "Falling off the cliff" scenarios

* Common problem: The team does not update their progress on tasks and user stories in the electronic tool. So?

* The Director says "Plan for more points in your next Sprints or we won't get all this work done."

* Explaining coaching to a mentoring organization

Support you local Agile / Scrum events:

* Alan recently spoke at Agile Arizona. Here's a link to his presentation "How You Lead Is What You Get"

* Zach and a whole host of other great people recently spoke at Scrum Day San Diego.

* Alan belongs to a Scrum User Group in Phoenix: phxsug.org.
