Why do even successful agile teams struggle to maintain their improvement momentum?
In this compelling episode, Peter Maddison and David Sharrock answer this question and challenge the myth that continuous improvement is "just a mindset." Drawing from both scientific research and hands-on experience, they reveal why sustaining improvement is physically and mentally taxing, and why the journey becomes increasingly difficult after the initial quick wins. Through insights from sports coaching and real-world software delivery, they offer a fresh perspective on making continuous improvement truly sustainable.

This week´s takeaways: 

  • Continuous Improvement Needs Constant Nurturing
  • Small Steps Lead to Big Changes
  • Make Progress Visible and Achievable
