The Agile Coffee Podcast

My buddy Dave Prior, CST (drunkenpm@gmail.com) visited, and we talked about his fun podcasts. Specifically we mentioned these two episodes of Agile and Project Management – DrunkenPM Radio:

Human Hacking with Christopher Hadnagy and Dr. Abbie Marono

The Art of War with Gary Gagliardi

Dave is also a CST with the Scrum Alliance and active with Project Management Institute. Until recently, we had both been working for LeadingAgile.

We also talked about Lithespeed’s recent Global Agility + Innovation Summit. Dave was interviewing some luminaries for the event.

We spoke briefly about Vic’s Coach’s Toolkit, A-CSM classes, and the renovations to his YouTube Coffeehouse studio.

Summertime has gone, and the Agile Open SoCal is just around the corner. See announcement below.

In episode 79, Ben (@BenRodilitz) and I sat down for coffee and a chat about a topic that “dispirits” him lately: the bashing of Agile (specifically Scrum or SAFe) for being too prescriptive or not prescriptive enough.

Announcements:

Vic is now teaching the Advanced ScrumMaster (A-CSM) class. Find out more on our Events page.

Vic will once again hold (virtual) space at AOSC this October 27 & 28. Come join the Open Space fun. Tickets available at eventbrite.com/agile-open-socal-2022-tickets

It’s summertime, the season of recent grads sending out their brand new resumes. I sat down with the team behind the Meta-Cast podcast, Josh Anderson (@nosrednAhsoJ) and Bob Galen (@bobgalen), to talk about this time-honored document as it relates to the Scrum master role. They shared some great perspectives and tips, some of which might change how you think about resumes.

After speaking, I combined takeaways from our conversation with a bunch of other research, interviews and data about the resume for Scrum masters and assembled it all on the Scrum master resume page.

Here are a few ways to get in touch with Bob and Josh:

Bob’s websites include rgalen.com and agile-moose.com

Josh shares the best agile content at kazi.io
