Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Elford Stephens, Phil Thomas, and Andy Hunter. We finally wrap up our series explaining how video games got age ratings in the United States. We address the December 9, 1993, Congressional hearing about video game violence and how this led to the games industry creating a trade organization--the Interactive Digital Software Association (IDSA, now known as the Entertainment Software Association)--as well as a comprehensive ratings system: the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB).  Topics discussed include: How different game companies handled content before 1993, how Sega and Nintendo brought their marketing feud into the halls of Congress, and how the ratings system, in many respects, made it easier to put racy content in games.To learn more about the creation of the ESRB, check out:Blake J.

Na época a Nintendo praticamente monopolizava o mercado de video games, enquanto a Sega era apenas uma empresa instável de fliperamas. Tudo isso iria mudar com a chegada de Tom Kalinske, um ex-executivo da Mattel que podia não saber nada de jogos eletrônicos, mas era expert em travar batalhas impossíveis. Suas táticas arrojadas combinadas às ideias ousadas de seus funcionários transformaram a Sega por completo e a colocaram num patamar ameaçador para a hegemonia da Nintendo. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/elitemicrobooks/support

This week, Dan Neumann is joined by two fellow AgileThought colleagues — Sam Falco, a Principal Trainer, and M.C. Moore, a Team Agile Coach. Together, they explore the topic of Scrum mastery — specifically, being a Scrum Master new into an organization. There’s a lot of excitement — but also many potential pitfalls — that come with entering a new group as a Scrum Master. And as someone who joined AgileThought just six months ago, M.C. Moore, in particular, has a lot of experience in this area! He shares his top tips on what to do as you enter a new organization to build trust and vulnerability, how to break the ice with a new team, how to navigate the challenges that come along with entering a new organization that may be doing Scrum differently than you’re used to, and more.   Be sure to tune in as M.C., Sam, and Dan offer their insights on what to do when you enter a new company (that you won’t find in the Scrum guide!)   Key Takeaways Tips for a Scrum Master that is entering a new organization: Start by listening (we all have preconceived notions but it is key to first listen) Be open to changes and be ready for a journey Set expectations and prep for change Have an openness to learn and hear from the team (especially with their “whys”) It is important to get feedback from a team when you step into a new culture It is also key to share (ideas: share a mind map about you, hold an AMA session, etc.) Hold fun/game events (helps break the ice and brings teams together) — anything that brings the teams closer and have them see that you’re human too are great in helping you all work toward the same goal/s “If you’re not having fun in the team, there’s a problem somewhere.” — Dan Neumann Show vulnerability — vulnerability is a huge component of trust, and trust is the foundation of healthy conflict (if you don’t have healthy conflict, you just have conflict) Reach out to get to know who they are; show a genuine interest and ask about themselves Tips for a Scrum Master that is new into an organization that is doing Scrum differently than what they’re used to: Pick and choose your “battles” Ask “why” and counter with your “why” for those that have only learned Scrum halfway (“Is this working for you?”, “Are you getting value out of this?”, “Or what value do you expect to be getting out of this?”) You need to crawl before you walk (oftentimes, people end up putting themselves in a bad spot because they see areas for opportunities and try to take on too much, too quickly, which creates resistance) Start with (if possible) at least a couple of hours going over the Scrum framework and the “whys” of it so that the team/s understand If you are not able to start with the above statement, teach as you go (it’s important to take pauses and go through the fundamentals rather than rush everyone through and overwhelm the team/s) The most successful team start-ups start with the person who would eventually become the Product Owner saying, “We’re not delivering, would Scrum work? Can you come talk to my team?” Blocking off the entire afternoon, and inviting everyone (including stakeholders) so that everyone is on the same page Tips for Scrum Masters around lifelong learning VS. learning Scrum once: Lifelong/continuous learning is crucial, especially in a setting where you’re moving from one organization to another Continuous learning provides you with that “reset” when you entire into a new organization because you’re always staying current with industry knowledge It’s easy to become comfortable if you’ve worked with your current company for a while but it is part of your evolution to progress forward and stay current Read books and stay inspired Go outside your four walls (such as attending virtual meetups or joining a Scrum Masters Guild) — the infusion of external ideas into your organization is invaluable Differences in being a Scrum Master new to an organization working in a scaled environment vs. a not-scaled environment: Many differences are organizational in nature Working with a standalone Scrum team you’ll have a bit more flexibility to do things differently   Mentioned in this Episode: M.C.

Agility: Difficulties vs. Opportunities in Organizational Decision-Making

This week, Dan Neumann is joined by his regular guest/co-host, Sam Falco! Together, they’re exploring the topic of agility and some of the early decisions that either create difficulties or opportunities as organizations are moving towards agility.   The decisions that you make early on with your organization can strain you in ways that are unforeseen. It’s one of the reasons why agile coaches and leaders often say: “Don’t make a lot of decisions about your product up-front until you get some data back.” In this conversation, Dan and Sam highlight the key differences between the decisions that are made up-front that can impede a team in the long term vs. the decisions that can help move an organization forward in the right direction.   Key Takeaways Why you shouldn’t make major decisions up-front: Making a lot of decisions (or major decisions) up-front can often strain you in ways that are unforeseen You shouldn’t make many decisions about your product up-front until you get some data back I.e. If you build your entire architecture platform before you deliver any business features, you’re constraining yourself because you’ve built a lot of things that may never get used The same goes for organizational design (if you make too many decisions about how you’re going to ‘do agile,’ you’ll experience constraints later on Agility is suited for conditions of high uncertainty, so when you try to apply predictive thinking to an evolutionary approach you’ll run into many challenges Decisions that are made up-front that can impede a team in the long term: Avoiding rework (it is sometimes needed/important to revisit decisions you’ve made in the past and fix them) I.e. If the bone that you broke when you were 10 healed wrong, you’re going to have to break it again to fix it — the same goes for some of the decisions you make in your organization (i.e. re-platforming) Solution: Take on an experimental mindset and ask, “What would it look like to intentionally take on some rework?” The key thing to say to clients that are resisting rework would be: “Rework for the sake of rework is bad. But, look at the value you can get and make a good decision based on that.” Dedicated individuals on a team vs. shared resources across many teams “We have to have people on multiple teams because we’ve got so much going on.” That’s a problem in itself — limit your work in progress; you’ve got too much going on Solution: Stop saying, “We can’t do that,” and instead start asking, “How can we?” Another team-oriented decision that can cause problems later is component teams vs. feature teams It is better to all work together on the same thing and get it done rather than handing it off from team-to-team Having one person do two roles (i.e. they’re the Scrum Master and the Product Owner) If someone is trying to balance two roles they won’t do either well Solution: Take a look at the roles and make sure that they’re being filled in a way that gives a person a chance to be effective “Scrum has too many meetings” Solution: Have everyone attend the same meetings which will eliminate additional meetings for separate teams — transparency and communication are key New Scrum teams using the thinking of, “Let’s just put all of the items into the backlog, and then we will work the backlog until it is empty.” This comes from a place of not trusting or understanding incremental delivery Key takeaways and final tips: Apply a systems-thinking pattern and an experimental mindset Abandon the illusion that we can predict the future and that we can control the outcome Having a forecast of where you’re going is valuable but it is important to realize that it is not certain   Mentioned in this Episode: AgileThought.com/Events — Visit for AgileThought’s upcoming virtual events & RSVP!

To help us close out Season 2, Blake J. Harris makes a surprise appearance to reflect on his early life and career, the success of Console Wars and the upcoming television adaptation from Legendary Entertainment with producers Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg. We also discuss his new book, The History of the Future: Oculus, Facebook and the Revolution that swept Virtual Reality published by HarperCollins in February. By necessity, this leads to a discussion of Palmer Luckey and the political whirlwind surrounding his departure from Oculus in early 2017. Finally, Blake teases what's coming up next in his incredible writing career. I'm so glad we finally caught up with Blake. Without question, he is gaming's leading modern historian and to spend an hour in a discussion with him is like an opportunity to help capture gaming's story in some small way and I was grateful for this chance to do so. As you'll hear later in the conversation, Blake's efforts to simply do the right thing in the circumstances in which he found himself have led to his being misunderstood by people from all walks of life in spite of his hugely popular writing, and not enough outlets have stepped up to help him set the record straight. By the end of the show I trust you'll understand when I say we need a lot more of Blake's way of thinking in journalism and writing in general. Listen, learn, and let's discuss. Thank you once more to everyone who made Season 2 so incredible. The site will stay busy and so will our community at Patreon. Interview shows will return in September! Please don't hesitate to reach out over the summer. Thanks all! Blake J.
