Love it, or hate it, The Game of Thrones sat at the head of the entertainment table for quite a long time. Bob pulled out some quotes/moments/sayings from the series and we're using those items as discussion topics.

What key moments did we miss that can be applied to agile? Which of our interpretations do you disagree with? Let's discuss!

We bet you groan every time you hear the word "roadmap". Many of us have been through the scrummerfall approach of establishing a roadmap at the start of the year and then either ignoring it completely or blindly following it.

We're here for you. This episode helps you build and maintain roadmaps that continuously add value. Yeah. For real. You can do this!!!

There is no "normal" path to becoming a Scrum Master. So many of us come from different backgrounds, education, and careers, which makes it great. But how exactly do you break through that first time without a standard path laid out in front of you? We're here to help! Listen to this episode and then jump into our Discord server (details below) to dig in even more.

Sit back and listen to the next meeting of your working group. Count the number of people that speak up. You might find that only a couple of folks actually engage in the conversation. If so, your team is leaving a ton of value on the table by not including all of the amazing people on your team. This episode helps you solve that problem!

Let us know how your team adopted these new approaches. Do you have any other ideas to solve this challenge? Let's discuss!

You can't escape them. Buzzwords are EVERYWHERE!!!

Unfortunately, they crop up at the worst times because buzzwords are often called into action when the speaker isn't completely clear on what the buzzword actually means. We dig into some of our industry's most common buzzwords to help you clear the fog and gain clarity on what you SHOULD be talking about with your peers.

Whether you know it or not, your position carries privilege. If you're not aware of the privilege, you may be misusing that privilege. Let's dig in and see if you are maximizing the privilege you have. If you aren't maximizing it, or maybe you realize you are misusing it, that's OK. We're here to help!

How has privilege helped or hindered you? Let's discuss1
