Scrum Facilitators Community podcast

In this new Scrum Facilitators community podcast episode, Steve Trapps talks to Georgina Shute about being kind to yourself and recognizing that the more you practice being thankful for things the easier it is to see what you should be grateful for. Gina is a digital leader, charity founder and consultant who champions kindness in technology teams.

Gina shares her daily tip on feeling fulfilled and noticing what is going on in her life.

In this episode Sjoerd chats with Danny de Wild, agile coach and change agent. Danny currently works for Prowareness as a consultant, and has worked in the Dutch Police for many years before, playing a key part in using agile to improve police work.

We explore Danny’s personal experiments and lessons, how being a consultant adds a different dynamic to agile coaching from being an internal employee. Expect topics like ownership, culture and how transparency helps improve and collaborate. We also discuss facilitation, the importance of preparation and power of small talk for safety and participation. Danny also shares his most recent learning about Karpman’s Drama Triangle and how he puts it to practice when coaching individuals and their interactions.

Like every episode, Danny also answers and asks a great question. What it is? Listen and find out! I also put the idea out there to answer all the questions as Scrum Facilitators, so now that it’s out there, we might have to actually do it!

In this special video episode, Fredrik Wendt discusses a thing that he finds strange in how the Commitments are set up in the current Scrum Guide (SG2020).

The Commitments are not all of the same kind, which makes understanding the groupings and how we can use them to improve and guide value delivery (and quality) more difficult for Scrum practitioners.

After listening to this episode we hope you walk away with sharper understanding of Scrum's Commitments, their importance AND their differences.

Are you listening to this without visuals? Please also check out the video on our Youtube channel, as Fredrik supports his reasoning with visuals which makes the argument even easier to follow. Find the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6rttY6pSFs

If you like this kind of focused, detailed exploration of Scrum's details, please let us know, because as Scrum-Nerds we can certainly do more (with Fredrik and/or other guests).

Want to learn more from Fredrik, please check out the previous episode we recorded with Fredrik, about influence and value.

In this episode I (Scrum Facilitator & PST Sjoerd Kranendonk) hang out virtually with David (Dave) Dame. Dave is a Professional Scrum Trainer, Director of Accessibility at Microsoft and someone who I've been longing to give a stage since I've had the pleasure to first meet.  Although he has no trouble finding the stage himself, as you will find out in the links below. 

In this chat we talk about Inclusion & Diversity, and how working on it can improve your team, your organization, your Products and your competitive advantage.  We also learn why it should be the other way around and I have some learning moments in the show. I hope you learn from it too!

Meta note: we're getting back in the podcasting saddle, and this chat is a shippable increment that we feel is valuable, even though I myself am not content with the, ehhhh, quality. I am deeply thankful for Dave's patience and willingness to contribute and for facilitating the actual recording through MS Teams.
