17 min - What is needed more in Agile Orgs Intellect Or Empathy with Magnus Vestin?
Send us Fan Mail
Humans are amazing creatures and human intellect and ingenuity have created some of the most wonderful and terrible things ever seen on this planet.
BUT, research shows that traditional intellect alone is not enough to make us successful. Having the biggest and best brains is only a part of the equation in modern, complex and adaptive organisations.
So, if managers have historically been rewarded and organisations succeeding based chiefly based upon the quest for intellect, what would Magnus, an ex-manager, have to say on how this compares against what many of us know in our guts...
That Emotional Intelligence is just as, if not more important.Host Bio

3 min - Nisha Joshi - Inductive vs Deductive Reasoning (and why Ben hates a lot of books)
Send us Fan Mail
There is so much in the agile world (and beyond) that is hinged upon ideas that someone has had that are then followed by them looking for evidence that they are correct.
Confirmation bias anyone?!
In order to be able to identify the proven from the good idea that needs testing this podcast gives you a detailed explanation of the differences between Inductive and Deductive reasoning and why it is a critical topic to understand for anyone that used the word "experiment" in their agile world.
It is not as ominous as it seems!!Host Bio

About Product Agility
From the publisher's feed
Less Method. More Meaning.
The world of Product Discovery and Creation is becoming increasingly challenging due to mistakes and missed opportunities that are prevalent in agile…
teams, large-scale Scrum and all other agile frameworks. History has shown that when organisations try and scale their product development to more than one cross-functional team, mistakes are made that cut short many chances of getting all possible benefits.
The route of this for many is the need for more attention paid to the incredible advancements in Product Management driven by hordes of professional Product People who prove that making their customers happier is not a pipe dream but a hard and fast reality.
This podcast exists to explore all topics related to Product and Agility and Coaching.
How do you marry the agile principles with Product discovery?
Is it really possible to have hundreds of cross-functional teams (or Product Teams) all working from an effectively prioritised single Product Backlog and a dedicated Product Owner?
How can you embrace continuous improvement and empirical process control for your product, people and processes?
Ever wondered how to overcome the problems people face when trying to scale the Product Owner role and how it relates to Product Management and Product Teams?
Baffled by how to define a product in such a way that enables Feature Teams (aka Product Teams) and why doing wrong means you will only ever be stuck with technical teams?
Scrum Teams are not compatible with modern product management techniques.
Want to know what Product Focus means and how the right focus makes creating a shippable product less painful?
Need to get your head around how to blend modern product management techniques with Sprint Planning and Sprint Reviews to achieve Product Increments that cover the entire product?
This podcast's original focus was on Scaling Scrum vs Single-Team Scrum and how organisations can reap the benefits of Scrum when working on a larger product but still keeping a single product backlog. We found many Product People liked what we said, and then the penny dropped. This isn't a podcast about scaling Scrum or the limitations of single-team Scrum.
This podcast is for Product People & agile advocates who coach or get their hands dirty with Product creation.
We promise there is no Taboo topic that we will not explore on your behalf.
We aim to transcend the conversations about a single team, Daily Scrums, Scrum Masters and the double-diamond and bring everyone together into responsible teams dedicated to working on the entire product to make their customers happier and their lives more fulfilling.
Come and join us on our improvement towards perfection, and give us your feedback (we have a strong customer focus, too), and who knows, perhaps we will discover the magic wand that we can wave over all the broken agile and sudo-products to create a more resilient and adaptable future by bringing the worlds of Product, Agility and coaching together.
This podcast has the conversations and insights you need.
