The Agile Pubcast

In our Prestigious Pints series, exclusively for our Patreon subscribers, we went (virtually of course) all the way to the other side of the world to chat with the most experienced agile coach in the Antipodes...Sandy Mamoli.Sandy is an awesome multi-lingual coach and all round individual who has blazed a trail over in New Zealand (and many other countries as well) for all things agile and it was great to finally catch up with her and chat about all things agile.We tried (but failed) to avoid talking about how the pandemic isn't affecting life in New Zealand as much as everywhere else in the world. Instead we talked about animals in the office, her journey as a coach including her time as an Olympian, the fear and value of self-selection and how words can mean significantly different things in different cultures.

In the second episode of our new Prestigious Pints series, we invite none other than "The Product Owner guy" Roman Pichler to our virtual pub! We've been proud to be able to call Roman a friend as well as work with him over the last 15 years and he's inspired us with his work as much as you.We talked about peer pressure, courage and empowerment as a Product Owner, whether PO's should attend retrospectives and why we shouldn't expect our users to innovate for us.We discuss how he has seen things change - over the last 20 years in general but also recently during the pandemic - and what he sees for the future.We also discuss whether he always wanted to be The Product Owner guy and how he feels being known as such.

From our homes, UK. Episode 110 is our first "proper" episode of 2021 and, after welcoming our four newest Patrons (Paul Lister, Francesco Bianchi, Erika Braverman and Lynn Olsen) we got to tackling a question from another of our Patrons in the "Ask The Landlord" feature.  Andreas Wittler wanted our recommended games or exercises to re-energise a devastated team. As well as exploring that, we learned about the completion of Paul's latest Improv programme and how this week has been the best year of 2021 so far for Geoff...yes you read that correctly!  Cheers everyone!

Hi and welcome to the first of our Prestigious Pints episodes, an experiment we are running where we invite some famous names on to have a chat with us. In this episode we talk to agile legend Mike Cohn about how he has adjusted to online training and how his natural introverted nature has been affected. We learn some random facts about him including his favourite batman and why he is encouraging people to break the rules of Scrum in lockdown.Given that February sees the 20th anniversary of the Agile Manifesto, he tells us why he thinks the manifesto would have been worse if he had been in the room for its creation. We also talk to him about his involvement in the setting up of both the Agile Alliance and the Scrum Alliance and why he argued against including sprint retrospectives in the first version of Scrum.It was a thoroughly enjoyable chat that moved on to what he would change if he could go back in time and how he hopes agile goes away in the future before getting an insight into how his Dad got him so interested in playing pranks on April Fools Day.Enjoy this episode and do let us know what you think… Hosted on Acast.

The hosts dive into the impact of remote work on human connections, blending humor with personal anecdotes from their lockdown experiences. They discuss the joys of brewing and preferred drinks, as well as the importance of digital detox through nature walks. Their reflections on memorable football ground tours reveal themes of teamwork and leadership. They also explore the challenges of virtual interactions, emphasizing the need for informal communication to foster relationships in a remote work environment.

Geoff and Paul are back in Lockdown and, from the comfort of their shed and home office respectively, discuss their mutual dislike of "Wrong Answers Only", getting more stupid as they get older, the iterative approach to the development and rollout of the vaccine(s) and making decisions at the last responsible moment.
