Our focus on agile is to help others understand the importance of encouraging the right culture and behaviors. 

We’re constantly trying to find ways of getting the point across and that’s where this series came from. It’s our way of bringing light to some of the misconceptions we’ve observed over the past few years. 

🎯 The aim: to bring awareness to some of the barriers that may exist and foster understanding on possible approaches, when faced with these the barriers. 

We hope you enjoy this conversation.

If there’s anything else you’d like us to explore as part of this series or if we’ve said anything you don’t quite agree with, go ahead and drop a comment or a line via email. We love these interactions… they help us to expand our way of thinking.

We're excited to share the 2nd video in our series, where we candidly discuss common misconceptions about Agile.    

In this episode, we touch on:  

• Testing and learning   
• Team empowerment  
• Managing documentation and   
• Justifying pivots   

Take a listen and drop your feedback in the comments.  We'd love to hear about your experiences!

Everybody has mental health. For some of us, going through this pandemic has highlighted the need to be more mindful and aware of not only our own mental wellbeing, but also those around us.   

We’re particularly excited to share our recent talk with Kim Rose, Founder - Think Mental Health JA on this topic. She touches on what mental health means, the stigmas associated with mental illnesses and how to take care of your mental wellbeing.

We often hear the term 'servant leader' thrown around when talking about the role of the Scrum Master, but what does that really mean? In this episode, Sheyinka Harry, Scrum Master with over 3 years' experience working in an Agile space, talks with us about what it really means to be a Scrum Master - the relationships that you'll need to develop; empowering and setting up the team for success and even how to interact with those who are still on the fence about Agile. 

In our latest episode, we talk with Belinda Williams about how to use communication to actively engage with our stakeholders to get the results we want from them. We talk about how to communicate upwards, what you can do if you can't get a seat at the table to sell your ideas and how to communicate upwards within a company.

How can you ensure you're actually providing solutions/products/services that your customers want? There's really only one sure way and that's talking to your customers.   

Using the tools and the information that you already have, we'll talk you through how you can start getting more feedback from your customers, to inform your decisions.
