The podcast discusses strategies for dealing with carryover work in a Scrum team, emphasizing the importance of monitoring work item aging, adjusting sprint backlog based on progress, and maintaining professionalism to meet stakeholder expectations.

Todd and Ryan believe that the potential of new tools, such as ChatGPT apps, to replace the role of a scrum master in facilitating and guiding teams is limited. Ryan, who has been working with ChatGPT, believes that while the AI-powered tool is impressive, it is not yet advanced enough to fully take over the role of a human scrum master. He also thinks that the interactions and collaborations between team members are essential and cannot be fully automated. Todd agrees and states that tools cannot replace the experience, intuition, EQ, and all that human scrum masters possess. They suggest that these tools can be used as assistive technology, but they cannot replace the role of a scrum master. They also give an analogy of a grand master chess player using an engine to calculate moves but still requiring human understanding and decision-making abilities. Overall, Todd and Ryan believe that the job of a scrum master is safe from ChatGPT or other similar tools for now. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTrainingSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

The video is about strategies for helping executives with trouble articulating their goals. Todd and Ryan suggest asking executives open-ended questions about what is possible and what they expect to see once specific work is completed. It's important to tread lightly and warmly into the conversation and ensure that it empowers the executive. The alignment and strategy of goals are also essential for creating company-wide alignment. The discussion should be framed as a benefit to the executive rather than a demand.  ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course: https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: - Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTrainingSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

The video concerns right-sizing work in Scrum without historical data or cycle time. Todd and Ryan suggest that, in the absence of data, one should aim to complete product backlog items within half the sprint or less and focus on having small, well-refined stories that are tightly defined and understood. Ryan also notes that data can be unreliable if the team composition, product backlog, or project focus are unstable and suggests that good product backlog refinement and a clear sprint goal are essential for success in such situations. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course:  https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTrainingSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

Todd and Ryan discuss what components should be included in a year-end report or metrics for a Scrum team. They suggest using the Evidence-Based Management (EBM) framework and focusing on key value areas such as time to market, ability to innovate, current value, and unrealized value. They also discuss how the responsibility for creating such reports is shared among the team, not solely by the Scrum Master. Todd also mentioned the importance of taking a holistic approach to reflecting on the year and celebrating successes while identifying improvement areas. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course:  https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTrainingSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

The video discusses the use of Scrum in regulated environments and how it can be helpful in complex product development. While specific industry regulations may need to be considered, the framework of Scrum can still be applied to uncover better ways of doing things. Todd and Ryan give an example of how they identified and eliminated a labor-intensive process that was not tied to any regulations. They encourage Scrum Masters to be partners in shedding light on why certain practices are in place and to push boundaries in finding more efficient ways of working. ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course:  https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTrainingSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

In this video, Ryan and Todd discuss how to deal with the culture of busyness in organizations. They talk about the concept of context switching, where people are assigned multiple tasks, but can't do any of them well due to being too busy. They suggest making the busyness transparent and measuring its impact to show that it is not only disruptive to people but also costly. They recommend making the case for reflection time by gathering data on where people are working and why they are working on those things. They also suggest having conversations about the issue and sharing studies on context switching to demonstrate the negative impact of busyness on productivity and revenue. They conclude by stating that the key is to show the benefit of addressing the culture of busyness to those who may be uninterested in the problem by using language that resonates with them   ⏩ Join Ryan and Todd for a Scrum.org course:  https://buytickets.at/agileforhumansllc Todd and Ryan also co-authored a book - Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Scrum Problems. 👉 Buy Fixing Your Scrum at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BMvkcX ✅Subscribe to our Channel to learn more about Agile, Scrum, and Kanban: https://www.youtube.com/agileforhumans?sub_confirmation=1 For more information about Agile for Humans, visit: Community: https://community.agileforhumans.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/agileforhumans Twitter: https://twitter.com/agileforhumans  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/agile-for-humans-llc Website: https://www.agileforhumans.com #facilitation #facilitationskills #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Scrum #ScrumFramework #HowToBecomeAScrumMaster #ScrumMasterCertification #AgileForHumans #FreeScrumMasterCourse #FreeScrumTrainingSee omny.fm/listener for privacy information.

The video discusses how to write a good Sprint goal in Scrum. Ryan and Todd suggest avoiding the use of "and," "or," commas, and ticket numbers in Sprint goals. They also address whether it's fine to have Product Backlog Items (PBIs) that are not directly related to the Sprint goal, and conclude that it is acceptable as long as the work tied to the Sprint goal is given priority.
