Welcome to The Coach House!! Geoff and Paul recorded this episode after a few hours fishing and got onto the topic of team topologies. After Paul had been spending some time with a client looking to scale up scrum teams, his research led him to Team Topologies (Matthew Skelton & Manuel Pais) and a nice visualisation tool provided by Agile Stationery. In this episode, Geoff and Paul talk through and discuss the theory and the tools, and give their opinions on the benefits and drawbacks of the idea.There is also a PUB QUIZ for you all to join in with, so get your pens and paper ready!A Word From Our Sponsors...Agile Stationery designs and creates collaborative tools and games for practitioners of Agile methods in software, UX, content and other industries.

Recorded at The Bayshill, Cheltenham. After noticing some large murals in the car park outside and some cool "artwork" the theme quickly became evident as "Visualisation". We discussed how powerful visualisation or graphical recording can be, how much easier it can be than many people think it will be and we even illustrated this point (see what we did there?) in some drawing challenges. Plus there's another competition to win some Pubcast goodies!Show Notes:SPECIAL OFFER: Download the Bikablo app from www.bikablo.com/pubcast and get 20% off both visual dictionary add-ons using code PUBCAST20www.bikablo.com/bik1www.bikablo.com/bik2The Scrum Master in a Nutshell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToOuCAFDoGkVisualisation helps teachers learn what they are teaching https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/a4793f0a7818457e7d0c1c3c6d886aa4109b3713Directed drawing improves factual as well as inferential and transfer learning https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/0d24d9a93b2cd40509c8b4d60bfb5adf78808379Painting with Red Wine: https://www.instagram.com/p/CBM7A5qIF67/?hl=enMilestone Mastery Meetup on 22nd March https://agilestationery.com/pages/unleashing-your-teams-potential-mastery-with-geoff-wattsThe House of the Product Coach meetup session https://www.meetup.com/agile-mastery-meetup/events/291658790/ Hosted on Acast.

Strength is an interesting topic though, especially when it comes to agile…and leadership…It’s often not about knowing the answer but having the strength to say “I don’t know”. It’s about having the strength to say “Let’s try some stuff”, being prepared to stand out of the crowd and go against the status quo…trust people.Welcome to Episode 2 of the revamped format for the new year Geoff Watts and Paul Goddard get together in The Old George Inn, South Cerney to explore this topic.

Tomorrow never comes, or so the saying goes. Sometimes, when we're in the midst of our daily lives, focusing on our future progress, we forget to stop and appreciate the present moment.
