In this episode, Chris Murman, Mike Caddell, and Andy Cleff dive into the idea of "organizational debt." They compare it to technical debt (as well as financial debt) and discuss how it's essential to recognize and tackle inefficiencies, outdated processes, and cultural issues in organizations. They chat about potential signs of this debt, like slow decision-making and lack of role clarity. They stress the need for relevant metrics and creating a culture where people can freely talk about these issues. They close with a call for the agile community to explore ways to better identify, measure, and address organizational debt to enhance organizational adaptability and innovation.  Video Version: Read More On "Organizational Debt" About the Agile Uprising If you enjoyed this episode, please give us a review, a rating, or leave comments on.

Discord members Niklas Kari, Mike Caddell, and Janel Lanza welcome fellow agilist Christiaan Verwijs to discuss his recent article on a data-driven approach to discussing SAFe. It's everyone's favorite framework to bash and blame for the issues in our work, and often the arguments are based on anecdotal evidence. So, when someone decided to do some extensive research on the topic, it got our attention and we wanted to hear more.  Verwijs outlined the research method, how the questions were adapted over time to respond to research participants, and how it's been received so far in the community. Team autonomy is a big part of the data set, as is the reception and reaction of the C-suite. We're not really sure if the data proves one way or another that SAFe is truly bad. Ultimately, it will likely confirm whatever opinion you have. However, it is vitally important to base impressions on various frameworks on more than emotional evidence. This was an interesting discussion of how.

In this episode, Andy Cleff and Mike Caddell chat with guest Soren Pedersen about the drivers of quality. If organizations are to be successful at creating high-quality products they need the right kind of management commitment, organization-wide communication, safety, and transparency.

  "My boss has his orders, and I'm just following mine..." Have you heard this line? How do you coach around it? Join Amy Neil, Chris Wistrom, Mike Caddell, Todd Thrash, Chris Murman, Andrew Leff, and Jay Hrcsko as they unpack this most-painful of responses to the question of "Why are we doing this?"

In Scrum, everyone is supposed to have one job. You get to be a ScrumMaster, a Product Owner, or a Development Team member. Each team member of the Scrum Team is supposed to be able to totally focus on the role they play. However, in many organizations, they ask people to play more than one role. You might be SM/PO, SM/Dev, or PO/Dev, or in my case (once upon a time), SM/Project Mgr/BA, and since we had no PO, I got to try and be that too… AND IT SUCKED LIKE A FLEET OF VACUUMS! In every class I teach, there are people who are faced with the daily challenge of playing multiple roles, and more recently I have had a number of students are tasked with being ScrumMaster AND Product Owner at the same time for one team working on one product. I have very strong feelings about this, and realizing that my responses to this situation are maybe not so flexible and not practical for everyone, I reached out on the Agile Uprising Discord channel if there were people who had succeeded in being SM and PO at the same time, AND if they would be willing to join me for a podcast and share some of their experiences around making the SM/PO gig work. This episode of the podcast features Andrew Leff, Chris Murman, and Mike Caddell. Over the course of the interview, we discuss the reasons why trying to be SM and PO at the same time is not advised, ways they found to survive it, and it some cases, actually make it work well. JobHackers: During the podcast Chris shared a link to https://www.thejobhackers.org which is a great place to go if you are looking to get started with getting experience as a ScrumMaster.

  Well, we started out intending to talk about effective remote coaching, but we took a turn and discussed how to be effective as a colleague with this "new normal" in the post-COVID world.  We got a bit loose but this is one of our most "real" episodes.  Coalition members Jon Schneider and Mike Caddell joined Colleen Johnson, Chris Murman, James Gifford, and Jay Hrcsko for a conversation that includes screaming kids, profanity, and honest feelings about how to try and be productive when life gets in the way.  Enjoy!

In this week's episode we gathered up two longtime podcast listeners to discuss the Game of Frameworks series; what did they learn?  What were they surprised by?  What would they use going forward?  Join Andrew Leff and host Jay Hrcsko as they sit down with Mike Caddell and Benjamin AuYeung to chat about the series.  Enjoy!

Kansas correspondent Mike Caddell, to discuss the release from Ft. Leavenworth prison of whisteblower extraordinaire Chelsea Manning, the case of released, rearrested and re-released Anonymous hacker Barrett Brown, and of how the rolling Trump presidential disaster is playing in ultra-Red State Kansas.  

Mike Caddell, self-described "prairie radical," who is running a seemingly long-shot campaign as a Democrat in the reddest of states, Kansas, home of the Koch Brothers, but as guest on "This Can't Be Happening!" tells host Dave LIndorff that he's getting cheered at local parades and pancake breakfasts when he calls for a Kansas revolution to "sweep the statehouse clean of Republicans." Something is happening in Kansas.

Its always a lively discussion when Anne and Mike join the show. What is going on with women in Kansas? They both have their ideas. The post Anne Pritchett and Mike Caddell appeared first on KKFI.
