In this series of The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward, we're discussing the myth of being big in the coffee business and why leaner businesses may be better equipped for the future of coffee.In this episode, Lee and Jan-Cort explore the benefits of running a leaner coffee business and why downsizing may become a necessary strategy for many operators as economic pressure increases globally.The conversation examines the emotional and financial pressure that comes with maintaining large café chains, investor expectations, staffing complexity, and debt obligations—and whether many businesses are actually making less money despite becoming bigger.Jan-Cort explains why lean businesses are often more agile, more connected to their customers, and more capable of adapting to volatility in coffee prices, geopolitical instability, and changing consumer behavior.Lee and Jan-Cort also discuss ego in business ownership, the fear many operators have around downsizing, and why stepping back from aggressive expansion may actually help owners reconnect with the reason they entered coffee in the first place.This episode is an honest conversation about simplifying business before the market forces you to.Connect with Jan-Cort Hoban and Mr. Hoban's Coffee Roastery here:• https://www.instagram.com/mr.hobans/ • https://www.mrhoban.com/ If you found this episode valuable, make sure you're subscribed to the podcast and follow along for the rest of this 5-part series.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with John Krewson, co-author of Pitch, Sketch, Launch: A Sketch Comedy Approach to Product Development. John's journey spans software development, acting, and even a stint with Saturday Night Live. He now leads Sketch Development, where he helps teams build products people actually want, faster and with more joy. In this conversation, John explains why project teams should behave more like creative troupes than traditional org charts. You'll hear how laughter can be a feedback loop, why messy first drafts matter, and how simple tools like sticky notes, Elmo cards, and Lean Coffee can radically improve your team's collaboration. We also explore how sketch comedy's "test before polish" approach can transform how we ship ideas, and what that looks like on real-world teams. From unblocking meetings to unleashing creativity, this episode is packed with practical tools and paradigm shifts. If you're looking to bring more energy, experimentation, and feedback into your team's workflow, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The best ideas often start as bad ones. The magic is in iteration." "You're not building a product. You're testing a hypothesis in the real world." "Sketch comedy taught me this: if the audience isn't laughing, it doesn't work. Product teams need that same feedback mindset." "You can't argue with the emotion of a dead silent audience when you think you've got gold." "We often equate busy with productive. But they're not the same thing." "A meeting isn't productive just because everyone showed up. Did it move ideas forward?" "Troupes thrive on trust and feedback. Traditional teams often operate on fear and approval." "I was a mediocre software developer, which made me well-suited for management." "You are sucking the fun out of this. We are building software here. We get to play on computers. Let's make this fun." "There's this ruthless search for feedback that we learn how not to take things personally." "Nowhere in that iron triangle does anybody talk about whether or not the customer said, 'I needed that thing in the first place.'" "We're not just cross-functional. We're cross-committed. That's what makes a team operate like a troupe." "If you're building something new, you need a mechanism to decide if it's valuable. And if it isn't, you toss it." "The law of averages will tell you: 80% of the ideas need to be tossed."

If your meetings and events feel flat, formulaic, or just plain exhausting, it's time to shake things up. In this lively, practical guide, we explore three meeting formats that actually work: Lean Coffee, Open Space, and World Café. Whether you have 60 minutes, half a day, or a full day to play with, you'll find the perfect approach to energize your team, spark real dialogue, and co-create meaningful outcomes. Get ready to turn “just another meeting” into a space where ideas flow, people connect, and progress happens!
In Build the Sidewalk Where People Already Walk, we explore what happens when project teams design based on real behavior instead of assumptions. Drawing from a Lean Coffee discussion and PMI's survey findings that the customer is the ultimate indicator of success, this episode challenges leaders to define “done” through the eyes of the end user. Kevin shares how observation, empathy, and feedback lead to better requirements, stronger outcomes, and lasting trust. Learn how to build projects that people actually use and appreciate.

In this podcast, I share a short presentation I gave about the concept of Lean Coffee this week. It is an informal meeting structure where participants brainstorm topics and vote on what gets discussed. An alternative to spending time planning and guessing what people want to talk about or learn.I also explain how it differs but is similar to an unconference.You can learn more about the origin of Lean Coffee at https://leancoffee.org/You can also watch a video of this short presentation at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7dkReGPg58Learn more about BPI7 Continuous Improvement Best Practices: https://mail.biz-pi.com/lss-best-practices-funnelNeed help in your organization, or want to discuss your current work situation?

Marina Lazovic: Measuring Agile Team Success Through Stable Delivery Flow Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Marina reflects on how her understanding of Scrum Master success has evolved, noting that delivery optimization is an aspect she previously undervalued. For her, success means supporting teams to deliver in an optimal way with stable flow. She emphasizes that since software is built for users, delivery is the ultimate measure of value creation. Marina recommends discussing with teams what "delivery" actually means in their context and focusing on aspects within the team's control. She suggests using the "circle of influence" concept to define what constitutes delivery and to identify actionable improvement options during retrospectives. By concentrating on sprint-level delivery metrics, teams can establish a concrete definition of success that ties directly to value creation. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Lean Coffee Marina prefers keeping retrospectives simple and direct, recognizing that developers typically appreciate getting straight to the point. She particularly recommends the Lean Coffee format, which provides structure while allowing teams to focus on what matters most to them at that moment. What makes this format effective is its adaptability and efficiency. Marina emphasizes the importance of asking teams which retrospective formats they prefer rather than imposing a particular structure. To make retrospectives actionable, she insists on specifying WHO will do WHAT and by WHEN for every action item, ensuring clear accountability and follow-through on improvement initiatives. Self-reflection Question: How clearly defined is "delivery success" for your team, and what specific flow metrics could you introduce to make it more concrete? About Marina Lazovic Marina is a Scrum Master and Kanban Trainer from Belgrade, Serbia, with nearly a decade in the IT industry. Though not from a technical background, she is passionate about helping development teams and organizations optimize processes and build great products using Agile. She thrives on driving efficiency and fostering collaboration. You can link with Marina Lazovic on LinkedIn.
Season Hughes: How To Be A Data-Driven Scrum Master Or Agile Coach Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Season approaches Scrum Master success by regularly referring back to the Scrum Guide and measuring progress against its principles. She emphasizes the importance of collecting data and measuring key indicators like self-management, which she tests by occasionally stepping back from daily Scrum meetings to observe team autonomy. Season also stresses the value of one-on-one conversations to understand individual goals and assess team event effectiveness. Self-reflection Question: How do you measure the effectiveness of your role as a Scrum Master beyond just following ceremonies? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Lean Coffee Season recommends the Lean Coffee format for retrospectives as it puts control directly in the hands of participants who decide the discussion topics. This approach naturally increases engagement and ownership of the retrospective process. She emphasizes the importance of including warm-up activities to set the right mood and ensuring everyone speaks early in the session, while also following up on previous retrospective actions.

Mateusz Komander: Understanding Team Expectations - The Key to Scrum Master Success Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. For Mateusz, success as a Scrum Master starts with understanding team expectations. He emphasizes the importance of regularly asking teams "What do you expect from me as your Scrum Master?" The responses not only reveal the team's previous experiences with Scrum Masters but also indicate their maturity level and understanding of the role. By asking this question periodically, Mateusz can track the team's evolution and adapt his approach accordingly. Self-reflection Question: When was the last time you explicitly asked your team about their expectations of you as a Scrum Master, and how did their answers influence your approach? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Adapt to Your Team's Needs Mateusz learned through experience that consistently changing retrospective formats can create chaos for teams. He recommends finding a format that works well for your specific team and sticking with it. For some teams, this might be Lean Coffee, while others might benefit from simpler models like "What works well/not so well/needs improvement." The key is to experiment initially, gather feedback after each retrospective, and then settle on what works best for your team. [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
Episode page It's Episode 50 of the Lean Whiskey podcast with Jamie Flinchbaugh and Mark Graban! tl;dr: Lean Whiskey will transition to a new brand Lean Coffee Talk, so stay tuned for more episodes from Mark and Jamie In their 50th and final episode of Lean Whiskey, hosts Mark and Jamie announce a significant transition, revealing that while this marks the end of “Lean Whiskey,” the podcast will continue under a new title called “Lean Coffee Talk.” The change is partially influenced by Jamie's lifestyle choices, which is reflected in their drink selections for this episode – both hosts opt for non-alcoholic spirit alternatives, with Jamie choosing Almave (co-founded by F1 legend Lewis Hamilton). Mark made a non-alcoholic Manhattan (with Bourbon alternative and a Sweet Vermouth substitute), but as he found it undrinkable, we'll spare you the brand name. The bulk of the episode focuses on the current state of the whiskey industry, which is experiencing its first significant downturn since 2002. Drawing from multiple sources, they discuss how the bourbon boom appears to be over, with distilleries facing waning demand and a supply glut. The situation is particularly stark in Kentucky, where 14.3 million barrels are aging at the start of 2024, representing approximately 2 billion bottles of whiskey. The hosts explore how this oversupply mirrors historical patterns, referencing the 1980s when 22 Scotch distilleries closed between 1980 and 1986 and bourbon sales plummeted 50 percent in the US. They also discuss how this situation exemplifies principles from The Beer Game, a famous MIT supply chain management simulation that Jamie has facilitated many times over 20 years (and Mark has played a few times). The episode concludes with details about the podcast's rebranding to “Lean Coffee Talk,” which will maintain the casual, conversational format while using a loose version of the Lean Coffee structure that has been part of many Lean Whiskey episodes. The new format pays homage to both the Lean Coffee methodology and the classic radio program “Car Talk,” with the hosts emphasizing that while the name and logo will change, the podcast will continue in the same feed, ensuring continuity for their listeners. Cheers!

Gosia Smoleńska: Lean Coffee As A Simple and Effective Retrospective Format For Teams Under Pressure Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Success for Gosia as a Scrum Master is defined by her team's self-sufficiency. True success is evident when the team operates smoothly without her constant presence, handles conflicts independently, and confidently runs their own meetings. When team members shift from bringing complaints to proposing solutions and only seek occasional feedback, it indicates a mature, autonomous group. We also discuss what behaviors to look out for as a Scrum Master, to ensure that the team is proceeding towards self-sufficiency. Self-reflection Question: How do you measure the level of autonomy within your team and encourage them to become more self-reliant? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Lean Coffee Gosia recommends Lean Coffee as a favorite retrospective format due to its simplicity and relaxed structure. This format's timeboxed, formulaic approach allows discussions to flow naturally without the pressure to cover every topic. It's particularly effective for fast-paced environments where teams need structured, yet laid-back, sessions to share their thoughts. [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

We've all heard those stories of resistance to change within organisations but how do you handle them when they come your way? Today I'm chatting with change management consultant and founder of Casa de Cambio, Natasha Redmond, who has a wealth of experience in navigating the turbulent seas of change within some of Australia's largest companies. In this episode, we explore strategies to better understand stakeholders, enhance change communication, build change capability, and address resistance at the root cause. Whether you're in the midst of a change initiative or want to prepare for future challenges, this episode is a goldmine of insights and practical tips. Change management can be a rollercoaster ride, and sometimes the reactions to it can be downright baffling. Natasha shares some of her craziest experiences, including a particularly intense encounter with a resistant team. Natasha emphasises that people rarely resist change for no reason, so it's crucial to delve deeper and understand what's truly driving their resistance.It's easy to label people as resistant but Natasha argues that this is overly simplistic and shifts the focus away from the role of change managers and leaders in creating a conducive environment for change. Instead, she encourages change practitioners to look inward, reflect on their approach, and consider whether they've missed crucial steps in the change process.One key strategy Natasha emphasises is the importance of understanding stakeholders and involving them in the change process. Building relationships, capturing requirements, and co-designing solutions can make a significant difference. This is where communication also plays a pivotal role. We talk about not relying solely on emails for communication and the importance of diverse communication formats, such as face-to-face meetings, FAQs, town halls, and Lean Coffee sessions. The goal is to provide information in multiple ways, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to absorb and ask questions about the change.While building change capability within an organisation is important, change fatigue can occur when employees are bombarded with continuous changes, leading to resistance. Therefore, it's essential to strike a balance between building capability and making hard decisions about which changes are truly critical. We also talk about the role of leadership and how to navigate a situation where even senior leaders are resistant to change. Natasha shares an example of how she dealt with this exact scenario and the importance of setting clear expectations early in the change process. Natasha shares so many practical tips and insightful lessons on the complexities of change within organisations and I know you're going to get so much value from this conversation.

Man kann es wohl als besondere Herausforderung bezeichnen, Product Owner im Konzern zu sein. Die Frage ist dann immer, wie viel Produktverantwortung habe ich überhaupt oder anders gesagt: mit wie vielen anderen Menschen muss ich mir diese Verantwortung teilen? Tim hat heute Daniel Dubbel von der DB Systel zu Gast, um dieses diese Fragestellungen zu besprechen. Daniel ist langjähriger und erfahrener Agile Coach bei der DB Systel, dem internen IT-Unternehmen im DB Konzern. Daniel ist dort eine Führungskraft und in der Rolle als Agility Master aktiv an der Organisationsentwicklung des Unternehmens beteiligt. Im Rahmen dieser Verantwortung hat er die DB Systel auch im sogenannten DACH30 Netzwerk vertreten, einem Zusammenschluss von 30 Konzernunternehmen aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz, die sich seit einigen Jahren viermal im Jahr regelmäßig treffen, um über Agilität in solch großen Unternehmen zu diskutieren. In diesem Zuge wurden auch Diskussionen zu agilen Rollen im Konzern geführt und in sogenannte "Mindeststandards für Unternehmensagilität" entwickelt. Da es hierbei natürlich auch um die Product Owner Verantwortlichkeit ging, fanden wir es besonders spannend, Daniel Dubbel als Gast für diese Folge einzuladen und mit ihm darüber zu sprechen, was für Product Owner im Konzern vielleicht besonders oder anders ist. Aber auch bzgl. DACH30 wollte Tim wissen: Was war die Motivation, solche expliziten Rollenbeschreibungen für Konzernagilität zu definieren? Und inwiefern unterscheidet sich die Product Owner Rolle, die in diesen Mindeststandards als "Value-Verantwortlicher" beschrieben wird, vom Product Owner, wie er im Scrum Guide definiert wird? Einen spannenden Ausflug machen die beiden auch noch zur Fragestellung, wie Kunden und Nutzer im Konzernumfeld eingebunden werden können. Am Ende des Gesprächs gibt Daniel Dubbel auch noch seine ganz persönlichen Tipps für Product Owner im Konzern. Tim verweist im Gespräch u.a. auf das "Lean Coffee für Agilität in Versicherungen", einer freiwilligen, ehrenamtlichen Netzwerk-Initiative, von Mitarbeitenden aus Versicherungsunternehmen. Alle sechs Wochen treffen sich hier Angestellte aus Unternehmen der Versicherungsbranche in einem selbstorganisierten, geschützten Raum. Wer festangestellt in einem Versicherungsunternehmen arbeitet, kann sich in der LinkedIn-Gruppe anmelden und bekommt dort dann die Einladungen mit. Achtung: Berater und Vertriebler werden explizit nicht in die Gruppe aufgenommen! Hier der Link zur Gruppe "Lean Coffee Agilität in Versicherungen" (linkedin.com/groups/12715252/). Die "Mindeststandards für Unternehmensagilität" von 30 börsennotierten Großunternehmen aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz sowie drei deutschen Beratungsunternehmen sind in folgendem Artikel von Daniel Dubbel sehr gut dokumentiert: https://www.inspectandadapt.de/agile-rollen-kompetenzen/. Infos über das DACH30-Netzwerk gibt es unter dach30.net im Netz.

Lorraine Chambers: How To Design Your Coaching Plan, And Progress Towards Successful Scrum Mastery Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. In this episode, we explore what success means for Scrum Masters and Lorraine's perspective. Lorraine suggests that success starts when both the team and customers are genuinely content and motivated. Key indicators include the team independently addressing anti-patterns, initiating discussions about their work, and requiring less assistance with basic tasks. Lorraine emphasizes the importance of a defined coaching plan (see the Agile Coaching Growth Wheel) and personal accountability. Conducting quarterly team health surveys provides concrete feedback for self-improvement, enabling Lorraine to track progress and address areas for growth effectively. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: From Lean Coffee To The Simple DAKI Framework, Retrospectives For All Teams When it comes to retrospective formats, for mature teams, Lorraine favors the Lean Coffee approach, providing an informal setting where participants shape the agenda in real-time. This allows for open discussions on chosen topics within time constraints. Lorraine highlights how Lean Coffee often uncovers diverse team concerns. For less mature teams, she leans towards the Drop/Add/Keep/Improve framework (DAKI retrospective), emphasizing continuous improvement. She suggests that we use the "Improve" to inspire improvements that we keep an eye on during the Sprint. With remote teams, she utilizes MURAL's private mode for collaborative sticky-note sessions.

Harri Tunturivuori: Success is Fostering a Culture of Continuous Improvement as a Scrum Master Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. In the episode with Harri we learn that success is all about helping the team to deliver a high-quality product and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. To achieve this, he believes that investing in psychological safety and leading by example are critical. Additionally, ensuring that team members feel heard, investing in soft skills, and promoting a sense of belonging are all key factors. Harri recommends using journey lines and other techniques to help team members know more about each other, particularly when the team is distributed, which can make it harder to achieve these goals.

He believes that a Scrum Master's own success is tied to helping teams reach their goals.

This week we take rapid fire topics and attempt to cover each in five minutes or less, in order to squeeze in as much ridiculousness in as possible. We took a method of conducting feedback meetings in the business world, called Lean Coffee, and made it much more entertaining. This week's can was a surprise to all involved, and turned out to be a Strawberry Cream Ale from Route 51 Brewing. We want your recommendations! What is your favorite canned beverage? We‘d love to have a taste and feature it on a future episode. Any additional suggestions, questions, or corrections you may have, we want to hear those as well! Make it personal!

No half stars, we commit and stand by the full level we award. 5-Star: We love it so much, we rave about it to anyone who will listen, and actively hand them out to friends and family to try! 4-Star: We really like it, will proactively get more, and will keep some on hand to enjoy at our next social gathering. 3-Star: It's good, we like it, and equate it to our standard weekend selection. We won't go out of our way to acquire more, but will certainly have it again should the situation arise. 2-Star: It's not great. We will finish this can, but will part ways after, and will likely not meet again in the future. 1-Star: It's terrible. We won't be finishing the can, and will need another, better can, to wash the awful taste out of our mouths. 0-Star: It's so bad, it caused a visceral reaction that made us physically reject it's contents.

Malcolm Colman-Shearer's needs weren't being met in his banking IT job in New Zealand, so he left to find an environment that was more socially oriented where relationships were important. Jumping from the safety and confinement of that corporate ship, he's now leading the life of an entrepreneur. He's a member of Enspiral, a worldwide collective of individuals who not only believe in, but practice, a new way of organizing; and is the founder of Optimi, where he really follows his meaning and purpose by assisting clients in optimizing their workflow. I respect his transparency and insights about the ups of downs of his journey with decentralized organizations. I love his optimism about how our current network experiments are raising consciousness about new ways to organize that will evolve to further empower people. Malcolm contrasts traditional environments vs collective networks using a rainforest vs corn field analogy. After we recorded this episode, I was in the Peruvian Amazon and had daily walks through its rainforest, observing its many micro-ecosystems. Malcolm's analogy of an organizational network having the growth and death cycles of a rainforest resonates with me even more now that I've experienced the magic of the Peruvian rainforest.

“A highly functional team defines the right environment and has what they need to be the best professionals they can be. And that always includes agency and psychological safety." Jim Benson is the co-author of “Personal Kanban” and is currently working on his upcoming book “The Collaboration Equation”. In this episode, we started by discussing Personal Kanban, how it differs from a to-do list, and its two main rules, i.e. visualizing our work and limiting our work-in-progress. Jim also shared practical tips on managing our personal backlog, doing prioritization, and limiting our work in progress. In the latter half of our conversation, we discussed Jim's new book, “The Collaboration Equation”, starting with the discussion about the common collaboration challenges and why professionalism and psychological safety are prerequisites to building high-performing teams. Jim also explained the concept of collaborative leadership and gave practical tips on how we can measure effective collaboration.

When we do a timeline retrospective, we ask the team to plot their feeling/mood/confidence over time in a graph. Using the ups and downs of the lines the team draws, we try to extract information about what were the key moments in the Sprint. The findings from the that Timeline exercise can then be discussed in a Lean Coffee or Troika Consulting format in the second part of the retrospective. Do you wish you had decades of experience?

This interview was originally recorded in video. You can find the video here: https://youtu.be/FGCiOhXYqwM In April 2014, Derek Huether started leading a monthly Lean Coffee meeting for Agile Baltimore. Early in 2022, the group will hold its 100th Lean Coffee! In celebration of that, Derek joined me for an interview all about Lean Coffee - what is it, how does it work, how to get set up to run one, and what are the benefits of leading a Lean Coffee. If you aren't familiar with Lean Coffee it is an agenda-less meeting format developed by Jim Benson and Jeremy Lightsmith that relies on the people who show up to collaborate on the agenda and then cover them together. Even if you are a seasoned Lean Coffee veteran you will probably find valuable ideas here. Both Derek and I came away from this conversation with new things to try out. Also, at the end of the podcast, there is an additional brief conversation about Jira. Derek works for Atlassian and he shares a number of resources that you and your team can use to get answers to all your Jira questions. 1:00 Who is Derek Huether 2:10 What is a Lean Coffee 10:00 What do YOU get out of running a Lean Coffee 13:00 How does a Lean Coffee work 27:45 Using it to run meetings 35:15 How to Contact Derek 35:45 How to get Jira help Links from the podcast Agile Baltimore http://www.agilebaltimore.org Lean Coffee Website https://leancoffee.org Metrics Cookbook by Derek Huether https://amzn.to/3F3ragX How to Have Great Meetings: A Lean Coffee Book by Adam Yuret https://amzn.to/33glCme Lean Coffee Table (App to run Lean Coffee Meetings) https://www.leancoffeetable.com Jira videos on YouTube: https://bit.ly/JiraVideos Atlassian Community Site: https://community.atlassian.com Atlassian University: https://www.atlassian.com/university Contacting Derek Web: https://www.derekhuether.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derekhuether/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/derekhuether Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/derekhuether/

We've all been there....stuck in a meeting where the agenda is boring and isn't discussing what we should REALLY be talking about... Well, good news! We got the fix with Lean Coffee!
Desde Marzo del 2020 hemos estado reuniéndonos via Zoom cada 2 semanas para hablar de temas que tenemos en la mente. Desde tecnología a desarrollo personal pasando por trabajos y retos del día a día. Este foro ha crecido en nuestro Patreon en formato Lean Coffee. Cada persona propone un tema o una pregunta y la desglosamos por 10 minutos hasta que la persona que la propuso sienta que esta contestada. En esta ocasión estoy haciendo publico una de estas conversaciones para que se den una idea del formato. En esta ocasión conversamos sobre el auge de las NFTs, que son y porque las personas pagarían millones de dólares por un archivo digital. También hablamos sobre los esfuerzos de vacunación y la posibilidad de viajar a finales de año. Recuerda que si quieres participar en el cafecito virtual cada 2 semanas y proponer temas puedes hacerlo uniéndote a nuestro Patreon en patreon.com/conexionespodcast

We talk about the importance of collaboration in Personal Kanban and how much of an impact multi-tasking, silo conversation as well professionalism has on the quality of work.

[featured-image single_newwindow=”false”] Hosts Ryan Ripley, Aaron Griffith Discussion Aaron Griffith (@aaron_griffith) is a member of the Hunter #mobprogramming team, agile speaker, and #NoEstimates enthusiast. He joined Ryan Ripley (@ryanripley) to talk about agile in a galaxy far far away, agile coach camp (#accus) experiences, and a bonus topic from the Agile Coaching Cards Lean Coffee volume 1 deck. We started with Aaron's talk about agile and Star Wars. During this talk, Aaron compares and contrast the Republic and the Galactic Empire to an agile team. Using movie quotes and scenes he brings to life agile concepts and practices in ways that newcomers to agile can relate with and understand. He's received great feedback on this talk and will be giving it again at Agile Testing Days in Potsdam, Germany – November 9th-12th. We then moved on to our time at Agile Coach Camp 2015. We were both able to attend some interesting sessions. Ryan shared his experiences discussing the business side of agile and telling stories with Woody Zuill. Aaron explained insights learned in #MobProgramming sessions and gave his overall thoughts on his first visit to a coach camp. Finally, we wrapped up by doing a quick Lean Coffee session using Victor Bonacci's (@agilecoffee) new agile coaching cards deck. We pulled the “Dealing with bullies, naysayers, and other bad apples” card and shared stories and insights from past experiences with difficult agile team members. And then…we called it a night.

Hosts Ryan Ripley, Zach Bonaker, Amitai Schlair Discussion It's a miracle that this episode happened. Zach Bonaker (@zachbonaker) got lost in an English bog, Amitai Schlair (@schmonz) was wandering in Guatemala and Ryan Ripley (@ryanripley) was nearly sucked in to the power fueled DC world, but the three managed to come together to ponder some questions about coaching agile teams. WHEN DOES AN AGILE TEAM NEED COACHING? We started with defining coaching, then mentoring, and finally consulting. And ultimately came upon an important insight. If the team knows how to learn together and has a high level of skill in conducting retrospectives, they likely need little coaching. However, such stars rarely align. We discussed if the team should choose when a coach is needed, and managements role in the process. We then moved on to our next question: WHEN SHOULD AN AGILE COACH LEAVE? When the checks start to bounce, of course! This is another difficult situation to handle. It takes a great amount of awareness to realize that the team can find success without you (the coach). Watching the teams behaviors, the systems they are working within, and the response they have to the coach are all important considerations. On the other hand, we did discuss that in professional sports, the coach never leaves. Even LeBron James has a coach. The conversation then pivoted in to agile transformations. At the heart our discussion was the idea of influence vs coercion and how coercion can tank an agile transformation quickly. The tendency to hold on the old practices, even harmful ones, is hard to break as teams new to agile often struggle to embrace self-organization. Trust was also a key theme throughout. Amitai was kind enough to share episode 8 (care) of his podcast: Agile in 3 Minutes. He creates art each week by focusing on one agile idea each week. Insightful and poetic, Agile in 3 Minutes is clearly a labor of love that I'm grateful to enjoy each week. I hope you give Agile in 3 Minutes a listen and subscribe via rss here. Finally, Zach told us about Victor Bonacci's recent Kickstarter project: Agile Coaching Cards. Vic was a recent guest on Agile for Humans and taught us how to play Lean Coffee. He's now selling a deck of cards on Kickstarter designed to help teams get up to speed quickly with Lean Coffee discussion. This is a fun tool that can help teams facilitate conversations about agile topics. And then…we called it a night.

Hosts Ryan Ripley, Victor Bonacci, Jon Jorgensen Discussion This episode is a cross-over between The Agile Coffee Podcast and Agile for Humans. Victor and Jon host Agile Coffee and do a great job of cultivating interesting topics and engaging guests. Not too long ago, Victor joined me on Agile for Humans and we had so much fun that we thought we’d give this cross-over experiment a try. I have to say that it was a lot of fun having someone else do the facilitation. We managed to cover a wide range of topics that we hope you all enjoy.
