The Agile Daily Standup - AgileDad

Join V. Lee Henson, President and Founder of AgileDad as we celebrate the release of the long awaited Agile Meetings Playbook! This meeting playbook was born as a solution to a growing problem we have seen on our coaching engagements. One of the largest bottomless holes that organizations sink valuable resources into is meeting attendance, duration, and frequency. This guide will help eliminate waste. By focusing on having more frequent meetings, for a shorter duration, with a smaller audience, we can spend less time figuring out what we should be doing and more time creating innovative solutions for our customers.This playbook will help you learn the importance of focusing on outcome over output. 

In The Daily Podcast Episode 42 we learn the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything. Although it was not planned, we close out the week with a question regarding finding the best training and coaching for your organization. I will tell you up front that this is a VERY matter of fact approach and is in no way an AgileDad advertisement. While we are very good at what we do, I took a VERY objective approach to answering this question. 

The topic of Agile Team Working Agreements seems to be a pressing issue right now. How do we careate a healthy agreement without having the team feel like they are cementing in a set of rules which will enforce team penalty instead of uplifting and adding team value? Join V. Lee Henson, President and Founder of AgileDad as we explore and dive deep into what makes a Team Working Agreement Tick and how to create one from scratch. 

Based on the recent free webinar - The 7 Deadly Sins of Technical Debt, a writer asked how do we not lean on the debt sprint and put off debt until the next one instead of addressing it in a timely mannet when it arrives? Does the debt sprint become a crutch? Tune in and learn how the debt sprint is intended to be used and how new debt work is addressed in a more timely fashion.  

The current situation seems to be driving more and more organizations to moving some positions permanently remote. I’ve had several colleagues say they don’t believe Agile can survive remotely, I know it can. Love to hear your thoughts on how to maintain or even build mature teams while working remote. Join V. Lee Henson as we address this issue head on and talk about the current state of working remotely and make BOLD predictions for what this might look like in the future.

Retrospectives might be the most difficult to have and to facilitate for many organizations. They turn into either a festival of silence or a mud-slinging, into the octogon, type of event. There is never a happy medium.  Join V. Lee Henson and learn some healthy tips and tricks to make your retrospectives much more powerful.
