ScrumMasters are often known for their ability to resolve and or remove impediments. They are most often described as facilitator. In this episode you will learn the three questions every advanced ScrumMaster or Agile Coach should be asking. V. Lee Henson reveals that these may not be exactly what you expect. 

When Agile was still a young framework, we found that people struggled with the idea that they did not need a ton of heavyweight paperwork up front to be successful. In today's episode of The Daily Standup join V. Lee Henson as we explore the new enemy. Bad Agile or dogmatic agility has taken over. In a time where organizations are hyperfocused on quantity, they are all quikly abandoning quality and not allowing for a sustainable build and release framework. In this episode we identify the problem and talk about short term solutions.

Please join V. Lee Henson, founder of AgileDad as we explore the top three organizational issues we encounter when we go out to coach teams: 3) Proper delineation of Agile roles and responsibilities 2) No proper Vision & Strategy alignment at the organizational and product level1) The inability of the product owner to write backlog items that are clear and concise that are easily consumable by the team and have great acceptance criteria.While these issues may sound lightweight or easy to tackle on the surface, this is the time where having the help of an outside Agile Coach can really make a difference.
