Sometimes surviving agile at scale feels like a never-ending cycle of defeat. There are ways to get through it and there’s light at the end of the tunnel. It doesn’t always have to be a train wreck. Some agile coaches believe that scaling agile is not even agile but there are tons of frameworks that help address the issues. If there’s one thing that SAFe, LeSS, etc. have in common, it is to address one area of your scaled framework that is often the culprit for so much confusion. This episode will address a few things to help you with that journey. This episode would be good for leaders, project managers, product, owners, scrum, masters, and agile teams.
One thing lots of agile or scrum teams have in common is that they experience carry over work. Sometimes, we can do it and still survive and meet our goals. But if carry over work becomes the norm and we are unable to get out of the trend, it is problematic for us. There are several different culprits that lead to carry over work, but none is worse than the backlog hijacker. This episode is great for agile leaders, scrum masters, dev teams, software managers and of course the Product Owner!
We'll explore some ways to diagnose and triage this problem we have and learn how to say bye bye to our backlog hijacker!
Thank you all for your continued support and sharing the podcast! I love being your Practical Agile Coach!
Helpful hints are always what you get on the Planet Product Owner Podcast! Journey today to see how an agile or scrum product owner can help kick off Sprint Planning and establish the expectations for what I believe to be the most important feedback loop in our practice.
Today's episode should help you with a pattern that I've found to be successful in this little adventure, helping to navigate around ALL those many stakeholders in the session!
I've also reached a decision, finally! Audio only will be available on all the podcast platforms, but video, presentations, downloads, forums, webinars, meetups and much more will be available for members at www.planetproductowner.org.
Becoming your agile coach is my passion and I hope I can help you out!

Just because we are agile, it doesn't mean we don't plan. If you are a scrum or Agile Product Owner or Product Manager, remember that the team needs your input for the sprint planning event. This episode gives you some practical tips and guidance to help your sprint planning event go smoothly.

It’s the final round folks! This episode will help the product owner and the Dev team put all three parts of the sprint backlog together in the full cycle! How exciting! How do we know what a product backlog item looks like and how do we know if we’re giving the team the right information to have the right conversations? This episode will explore some of those details and help you with some think of patterns to help increase flow of value. Flow of value is actually what we’re seeking in agile software development, particularly in scrum.

This episode will wrap up the three parts of the Sprint Backlog. I hope the agile team and product owner are honoring all 3! If not, make sure you check out the series and get caught up!
There are some serious ideas in this episode for you to connect behaviors to theory. May we allow principles and values be our guide as we journey together!
If I say so myself, this is probably one of the best episodes I’ve ever come out with. Let me know what you think!
Thank you as always for your support!

Too many times product owners overdo it when it comes to the Sprint backlog. The sprint backlog is owned by the dev team, not by the product owner. This episode will focus on one or two ideas that may help you back into the product backlog. Remember, the product backlog serves as an input for the team and that input goes into a process, which in this case allows the team to create a sprint goal. This is part two of the series to help the product owner and agile development team with new thinking patterns and a new perspective to improve the sprint backlog.

Following up on the previous episode, let’s dive into to the sprint backlog. Did you know there are three parts to the sprint backlog? Often times product owners and agile or scrum teams forget about that part. These three basic elements make up the full cycle, so we’re gonna decompose some stuff today!

Glad to be back with this episode!
And yes,
I. AM. BACK !
The agile mirror is one that we often take for granted. Sometimes it’s nice just to reset, realign and just get back to the center. This episode will set up the next 3 to 5 episodes for the product owner, scrum master, team member and even leadership to help reorient and get back to the center. Why are we even doing agile development? Have we thought about that? Let’s dive in!!
I would be grateful if you would help me keep the podcast ad-free!
