Today we’re going to be talking about recent advancements by Scrum.org  that include a new Professional Agile Leadership – Evidence-Based Management (PAL-EBM) training course and about  Evidence-Based Management (EBM) itself.

EBM is a framework that was created in 2014 as an Agile approach to help leaders guide their teams toward continuously improving customer outcomes, organizational capabilities,  and leading to positive business results.

With me to talk about EBM and the new course are Patricia Kong and Kurt Bittner who work in enterprise agility at Scrum.org 

In this week's podcast, we talk about the uptake in value stream, and the number of companies that now hang their hats on the topic. Listen in as we speak with Lance Knight, president and COO at ConnectALL, and a speaker at our VSMcon events. He highlights what he says is the number one thing a value stream platform needs to do.

 In this week's episode, we spoke about continuous delivery (CD), the premise of delivering safely when you want to.

So far, the number of companies adopting CD seems to be behind what was originally projected by the Continuous Delivery Foundation, and the difficulty of getting started may be a culprit.

We spoke to Ravi Lachman, an evangelist at Harness, about the challenges as well as benefits of CD. 

In this week's episode, we spoke with Dr. Christina Hupy, senior education program manager at GitLab about how DevOps is usually missing from computer science curriculums at universities, and what’s needed in order to provide an educational experience that prepare students for the development world."
