Reviewing rugby in 2025 with Harry Jones. In this podcast my  @megafoonrugby  colleague to talk scrums, Springboks and South America - the biggest storylines of rugby in 2025. Harry leads the debate on how rugby tried to kill drums, but the Springboks said no. I then bring up the contrasting conversations between rugby in North America and South America - how does the sport solve this conundrum? Harry then brings up the Lions tour and, perhaps more poignantly, what it means for Australia. Are they a team in limbo under Joe Schmidt and will Les Kiss be any better? Was their revival anything more than a flash in the pan? Next we chat about rugby journalism, where is it headed? Will the old-school written press continue to dominate the press conferences and the media rooms, or will YouTubers and podcasters take over? Who is better, for the fans, players and the sport? Finally, Harry and I debate (fiercely) whether or not the current day Springboks have overtaken the mighty 2015 All Blacks? Harry thinks yes... I think no!

Will and Alex are solving all sorts on the Ruck this week. Mark Palmer comes on to chat about Glasgow's extraordinary win over Toulouse in the Champions Cup -- a rare shining light in another mixed round of the competition -- and the boys then debate how to fix the tournament, so there are fewer blow-out pool games. Could there be a "European Super League" instead? Or would it work playing it in one block in May and June?Then Will Collier, the Castres tight-head, joins us to discuss demystifying the scrum, following on from the superb guest column he wrote for The Times last week.And Alex dissects some news and theories around promotion from the Champ to the Prem, a subject that refuses to go away.

Springbok forward Nomsa Mokwai doesn't just hit hard on the rugby field for the Women rugby team - she also resuscitates patients in a Cape Town emergency room. With 13 Test caps to her name and a gruelling schedule that sees her swapping scrums for 12-hour ER shifts, Mokwai is one of many women juggling full-time work with national duty. At 32, she's gunning for a spot in the squad heading to Twickenham for the 2025 World Cup - even if that means sacrificing family time and sleep. In an interview with BizNews, Mokwai shares how she balances life on the frontlines of medicine and sport, and why she hopes to trade her stethoscope for a full-time medical degree once her rugby career winds down.

In this episode, Ricardo talks about the benefits of implementing Daily Scrums, even in non-Agile projects. These brief, 15-minute stand-up meetings foster open communication, help teams align, and quickly identify problems. By sharing what they did yesterday, what they plan to do today, and any obstacles, team members enhance accountability and collaboration. Daily Scrums improve decision-making, detect problems early, and maintain team focus and momentum. Ricardo highlights that these meetings work best in small groups and can be applied even to large projects with multiple teams. He encourages listeners to try this approach immediately for better synchronization and faster project progress. Listen to the podcast to know more.

Neste episódio, Ricardo fala sobre o Daily Scrum, uma reunião curta de até 15 minutos, onde cada membro da equipe compartilha o que fez ontem, o que fará hoje e os obstáculos enfrentados. Ele destaca que essa prática, comum no Ágil, também é útil em projetos fora dessa metodologia, como na construção civil. Os principais benefícios são: melhora na comunicação, detecção antecipada de problemas, aumento da responsabilidade individual, decisões mais rápidas e foco no progresso diário. Ricardo incentiva o uso do Daily Scrum, independentemente da metodologia do projeto, por sua eficiência e simplicidade. Escute o podcast para saber mais.

This episode is all about you and something I've created for you. It's the sort of thing that I never knew I needed, but now it's a real, physical thing, Im hoping it helps you and your refereeing.It can be a solitary life as a referee - often travelling on our own to matches, not seeing any advisers/coaches every week, and only monthly meetings with our peers. So how can we help you think positively about your refereeing and your progress?This is where the Journal comes in. This has all the crib sheets, tick lists, advice, prep you need to help record your season and your refereeing. It's the place you can prepare for, and then analyse your performances through the season.Keith explains how the journal came about, what's in it, and of course, where you can buy one (TLDR: rugbyreferee.net/journal - price £18.50)What's in it?Place to set your season goalsPlace to record your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, ThreatsA checklist for your kitbag,A crib sheet to help you create your AR brief,A place to track your fitness tests through a season.And a season long Match Day Focus area - what are your big picture focus areas for each game area - Tackle, Ruck/Maul, Scrums, Lineout, Space, Safety/FP, Comms, Management.And then of course, as it's a journal, it has a place for you to prep and review all your matches through the season! It has a calendar for the next few years, and then the meaty bit - the season-long journalThere's a monthly calendar sheets and then 4x match pages. For each match there's three key elementsPrep page - all the things you need to get hold of and think about before your next match - colours, league positions, their form, Captains name if know, who your ARs and or Ref Coach/Reviewer. A place for logistics - directions, times, travel etc Any issues from last time/weekend to bring forward, and some focus areas for the matchMatch day check in - a chance just to use the journal to get your head in the game. There's prompts to ask say how you're feeling, to remind yourself what you want from the game, how you want to feel when you get home, and set some projections for what you want to do in the game. It's open ended and multi-interpretational. "In my refereeing today, I'm going to....."Match review - chance to record the match data, score, pens, cards, any fitness data you might have trackedSome simple quick game reflections on how you felt each area went3 things that went wellfeedback points from othersAny reflections from your prep page focus areas and then a section for overall reflections and work ons.And there's four of those sets of pages in each calendar month and 10 months to cover - so that'll help you with 40 matches sets. Some of you may not need that, some may need to tell me you want more in the next iteration of it! I'd love to know what you think.All together, that's 178 pages of journal goodness, with a hard back and front and with sturdy wire binding. I wanted this to be strong enough to get you through a season of it being in and out of kitbags, cars, backpacks. So it's a quality item that will, hopefully last.The good news is, Ive got a batch in stock now, and if that sounds like something that will help your refereeing, then you can head to rugbyreferee.net/journal for a little more info, or if you're ready to buy it right now - rugbyrefereejournal.net saves you a click and takes to you the buying page!

This week, Dan Neumann and Justin Thatil are joined by Rich Hundhausen for the second part of a deep conversation about Nexus. Rich is a software developer, Professional Scrum Trainer, and co-creator of the Nexus Framework for scaling Scrum.   In this episode, they dive deep into how to deliver value in the form of a working integrated increment of product, the role of the Integration Team, and the characteristics of each Nexus Event. They share valuable stories exemplifying how Nexus works for an improved scaling experience.   Key Takeaways Scale Scrum is still Scrum (plus additional features). The Nexus Integration Team is not in the original Scrum framework. The Integration Team is actually the Nexus's Scrum Master. This team is responsible for ensuring that Scrum is followed as established in the Scrum Guide and that its work is effective. The Integration Team works in a Scrum way by coaching, facilitating, teaching, and mentoring, but not hands-on (unless absolutely necessary). The Scrum Team's Developers do the work. The Integration Team does not do the integration, but it is accountable for it. Integration can mean lots of different things. Integration means solving any kind of dependency. The Nexus Integration Team does not have to meet daily but only when required. Everyone on the Integration Nexus Team has a daily job on the Scrum Teams and/or is the Product Owner, so when something does not go as planned, they bring it to the attention of the Integration Team when possible. The Nexus Events: First Event: Nexus Sprint Planning. This event aims to take another look at the upcoming work to ensure the organization of Teams and consider any last-minute changes. Big Room Planning takes place during this stage. All the planning at this moment is only for the current sprint (never beyond that). The output for the Nexus Sprint Planning is the Nexus Sprint Backlog for each Team, and the goal is to make any dependencies transparent to mitigate them daily. Scrum of Scrums: Scrum Team members are allowed to talk at any given moment. Second Event: The Nexus Daily Scrum. It is a Scrum of Scrums that occurs before the Daily Scrum. At this mandatory event, dependencies and integration issues are discussed. Third Event: The Nexus Sprint Review is where Stakeholders give feedback on the done increment but in a big room event. This event is the time to share feedback on potential cross-team work. The Last Event: The Nexus Sprint Retrospective. This event is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect and adapt how they work, first through a pre-meeting with the representatives, then Teams have their individual retrospectives, and after, representatives meet again to make transparent any new experiments or improvements so the bottom-up intelligence can then be shared with the other Teams. There are around 60 complementary practices to Nexus (but none are new).

Thorben Pantring: Surviving the Scrum Scaling Chaos, Managing a 20-25 Member Team 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, Thorben reflects on a team that had reached a breaking point when it grew to 20+ members. Faced with the overwhelming workload for the Product Owner and Scrum Master, Thorben and his colleagues divided the team into three, only to realize there was no support available. Thorben suggests a Scrum of Scrums for POs and emphasizes the complexity of scaling Scrum. To address the chaos, they divided the product into customer-focused areas and created a single Scrum team for each. Embracing large-scale Scrum, Thorben advises training leadership and using systems thinking to manage multiple teams. The journey involved starting small and incrementally adding teams to the system. In this episode, we refer to the podcast episodes with Konstantin Ribel.    [IMAGE HERE] Recovering from failure, or difficult moments is a critical skill for Scrum Masters.

Daily Scrums: Synchronization Meetings, Not Status Meetings The daily scrum: It's not a status meeting, it's a synchronization meeting. The term status meeting conjures images of sitting around a table with each person giving an update to a project manager while everyone else feigns interest (In reality, they're either mentally preparing for their own upcoming update or wondering how much longer the meeting will last.) In contrast, the daily scrum meeting is designed for team members to synchronize their effort. You don't want two designers working on the same screen without each knowing about it. Similarly, someone better be working on a critical task if the sprint ends tomorrow. Done well a daily scrum meeting is energizing. People leave the meeting enthused about the progress they're making as a team, or inspired to work together to move something to done. This won't happen every day for every team member, of course, but if team members dread going to the daily scrum, that is usually a sign of trouble. So if the meeting is for the team members to synchronize their work with one another, what does the Scrum Master do?

If you want to know what kind of team culture really exists at a company, look very carefully at how product roadmaps are developed and executed. That, says Jenny Herald's guest on this episode of Dreams With Deadlines, is where you can see the “messy, bloody war” that may or may not be going on behind the scenes. Agile consultant Maarten Dalmijn, author of a forthcoming book about using sprint goals to deliver better products more efficiently, shares fascinating insights on project management and how to optimize it.Key things discussed Why agile software development isn't about delivering more stuff more quickly. How three common gaps in understanding, effort and results hobble projects. What the Cynefin Framework is and how to leverage its domains in managing complexity – along with chaos. Why less up-front planning and more adjustment along the way enables nimble project management and a quicker path to desired outcomes. Ways to identify and mediate opposing goals that can mire projects in constraint and micromanagement. The interplay between product goals, Scrums and OKRs. Show Notes [00:03:27] Diving into the “why” behind Maarten's decision to write his soon-to-be-published book – or any book – at this point in time. [00:04:30] What Scrum can look like (flexible and supportive of change) versus what people think it should be. [00:06:48] Why being agile is about more than just shipping more stuff faster. About Maarten's effort to define what makes a successful Scrum, the outputs that drive desired business and customer outcomes and obstacles commonly encountered. [00:08:57] "Succeeding with Sprint Goals: Empowering Teams with Better Ways of Delivering Value," which is forthcoming in May, is comprised of four parts. [00:09:32] Maarten shares in the book a personal story about a childhood exercise on a Dutch island that parallels the journey of discovery that is software development. [00:13:26] A closer look at the three gaps, a model originated by leadership strategist Stephen Bungay, including: The Knowledge Gap: What we know is less than we'd like to know. The Alignment Gap: What we're likely to do versus what we actually do. The Effects Gap: The difference between desired results and actual outcomes. [00:15:51] How to avoid getting lost in “the fog of beforehand,” which can result in overcompensation and analysis paralysis that constrains or slow decision-making. [00:18:28] Humble Planning: It's not about planning less. It's about reducing upfront planning in order to leave room for critical adjustments later in the project life cycle. [00:20:17] About Dave Snowden's Cynefin Framework, designed to help manage complexity (and chaos) in times of crisis – a sort of field guide for decision-makers. [00:21:19] Delineating the domains encompassed by the Cynefin model and how they apply in a software development context: Confusion Clear Complicated Complex Chaotic [00:23:40] Understanding self-imposed friction and how rigid plans can lead to massive breakdowns in desired business outcomes. [00:27:16] How opposing goals fracture teams and slow – if not defeat – mutually desirable results while team alignment (internally and with partners) supports success. [00:30:21] Navigating “Roadmap Hell” and how a traditional project management mindset yield binary, inflexible processes that create conflict and self-defeat. [00:32:45] Want to see how agile a company culture really is? Look at their mindset around road mapping – that's where business and IT really come together and reveal the turf wars and rigidity! [00:34:06] Teasing out Part II – the “beating heart” – of Maarten's book: Sprint Goals: They depend on a clear understanding of intent, what the team is trying to achieve and why it matters. It's key to integrate foundational sprint goals into every Scrum. OKRs have a role to play in helping to prevent or break the feature factory loop. [00:36:32] Understanding the interplay between product goals, Scrums and OKRs; how they fit together in multi-faceted ways with multiple protocols. [00:38:42] About applying North Star Metrics – when and how they work and the constellation of factors that can influence measures and strategic adjustments. [00:41:42] What happens when companies don't use sprint goals? It disempowers teams. It restricts information, understanding and decision-making ability. It reduces flexibility. It leads to technical debt and prioritizing speed over quality. [00:44:42] Quick-Fire Questions for Maarten: What is Your Dream with a Deadline? Finishing up his book secure in the knowledge that he has delivered what he intended – and then some! How do you define a good sprint goal? It includes everything in the acronym FOCUS: Fun, Outcome-oriented, Collaborative, Ultimate and Singular. What's the takeaway he most wants for those who read his book? More joy, a sense of empowerment, flexibility, freedom, less effort that yields more results!

This week, Dan Neumann is joined by Tarik Smajic from Machine Learning Team and by Justin Thatil, an Agile colleague. Justin and Tarik are both Scrum Masters but Tarik's work is in Artificial Intelligence or Machine learning. In this episode, they explore together with Dan, the differences and similarities between Scrum and AI as well as how they complement each other by sharing valuable case examples.   Key Takeaways What makes AI Teams different from the Scrum framework? Scrum helps to reduce complexity, and certainly, machine learning is a very complex subject. Scrum is a way to start establishing norms in AI teams. In the traditional software development life cycle, there are established phases in order to build software and this includes an exploratory aspect. It is more than data. We give the client for free only the data that we are willing to give them, but there is even more data that you can think about that in the past was considered waste data. There are patterns that can be found in data, that is why it is called predictive data. We used to want all the data available but we started to figure out that not all that data is needed, and in case it is necessary to synthesize data that has any predictive implication. The beautiful dance Scrum proposes: Scrum works by just enabling the particular accountabilities to do their thing, to be empowered to shine in their field of action. Once you stop trying to solve problems using predictive and prescriptive analytics and start understanding where the value lies and where models need to be built. Case: A Team faces a product challenge. Let the Team have the time to research (but it can't be forever). The Team needs to go through one cycle to establish a baseline. It is better if you adopt Scrum, starting from scratch. Sprint reviews in AI: The race to the minimum viable product can look like looking at your data asset and learning from it. Tarik shares several examples. It is important to establish what the development phases look like while the ideation and intake Team handles the values assessments and figures out what use cases there are; prioritizing them is the product management Team's work. Then the research aspects follow; you want the engineers to build the pipelines and then do the testing. Scrum of Scrums: Tarik shares how they use one Scrum of Scrums on a weekly basis that only lasts 15 minutes. A necessary question to ask during a Scrum of Scrums meeting is: Am I putting anything in anybody elses' duties? How realistic are the expectations? The meeting produces a forecast of what can happen. Application of Scrum in the AI and ML worlds: Tarik shares his experience. Everything in Scrum is iterative. There are three phases of learning something. It takes a while to master things; patience is required. It is OK to bend the rules, you don't have to do it all by the book.   Mentioned in this Episode: Link to a previous episode Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, by David Allen   Want to Learn More or Get in Touch?
