Why are so many Agile coaches and ScrumMasters getting laid off? Is it because Agile is disappearing? Or is it because they’ve gotten so dogmatic about the rules and ceremonies surrounding Agile that they’re more of a burden then they are valuable? In our latest episode of SoundNotes, Mike Cottmeyer and Dave Prior explore the how to balance the competing priorities of the Agilists and the leaders they’re trying to help so that everyone can get back succeeding with Agile.

An Introduction to Sprint Goals

In 2020, the Scrum Guide introduced the idea of the Product Goal, but left out anything about Vision. Was this move better or worse for Scrum teams?In this short podcast, Vic Bonacci and Dave Prior, our two resident CSTs, sit down to discuss the difference between product goals and vision and the impact this change is making on Scrum Teams.

Exploring the Pros and Cons of Product Goals

How to Overcome Specialized Roles in Scrum and Why it Matters

Culture eats strategy for breakfast was a quote from the legendary management consultant and author Peter Drucker. If that’s true, then what does it mean when there are competing views on culture? What type of culture gets to eat strategy for breakfast? Who gets to decide and why do we have to choose? 

In this podcast, Mike and Dave sit down to discuss how your personality type influences the way you see and value culture, and the implications that can have on your business. Together they explore different types of personalities, how they manifest in the Agile community, and some ways the Agile community can find some common ground to achieve what we’re all chasing—greater Business Agility.

Bringing Balance to the Agile Culture Conversation

Business Agility is all about creating strategic alignment between different parts of your organization. One of the ways that we help our clients create strategic alignment is by implementing a four-tiered governance model that has a dedicated strategy team, or investment team on top. This team is responsible for setting the strategy, applying context for all the other teams, and making sure that they are holding the system of delivery accountable. 

But this requires a shift in how you think about things like metrics, OKRs and KPIs. IT requires a shift in how you think about funding and what it means to have a system of delivery. We explore all this and more in this episode of SoundNotes.

“Incompris, livrés à eux-mêmes, mais pas incompétents!”

Rien n’existe pour aider les Business Analysts à asseoir leur rôle. Forcés d’être autodidactes, ils perdent confiance en eux alors qu’ils sont simplement plongés dans un environnement économique qui n’est pas encore vraiment prêt pour eux, car peu ou pas mature en ce qui concerne la compréhension de la Business Analyse. 

Pourquoi attendre que les organismes officiels de formation prennent enfin en considération notre pratique opérationnelle sur le terrain?

Nous, les Business Analysts en devenir ou expérimentés, avons le pouvoir de faire reconnaître notre rôle et de l’incarner avec assurance.

C’est la raison d’être de Best Of Business Analyst, l’écosystème complet pour se former au métier, reprendre les rênes de sa carrière et enfin s’épanouir dans sa vie (car tout est lié!).
