Urban Tap House, Cardiff, UKToday we were joined by our good friend Nigel Baker in sunny Cardiff (we are beginning to think he is stalking us!) and ended up talking about whether Scrum was a methodology or a framework, whether it's possible to be a product owner and a ScrumMaster at the same time and how to avoid becoming cynical during the transition to a more agile organisation. During the meandering conversations we also touched on how to bring people along with you and help maintain their engagement and enthusiasm while sipping some craft ale and ciders. Hosted on Acast.
