Season Hughes: From Defensive to Collaborative Product Ownership 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. The Great Product Owner: Building Team and Customer Connection A great Product Owner demonstrates deep care for both the product and the team members, understanding their challenges and experiences. Season highlights how exceptional POs actively advocate for customer involvement in sprint reviews and consistently conduct customer interviews, creating a strong bridge between the development team and end-users. The Bad Product Owner: The Defensive Questioner Season describes a challenging situation where a Product Owner would respond to team proposals with defensive "why" questions, creating an atmosphere where developers felt they needed to justify their suggestions. This approach led to team defensiveness and reduced collaboration, highlighting the importance of asking questions in a way that promotes understanding rather than creates tension. Self-reflection Question: How do you ensure your communication style encourages collaboration rather than defensiveness? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
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.

Season Hughes: Understanding the "Why" Behind Agile Transformation 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. Drawing from her consulting experience, Season shares valuable insights about leading successful Agile transformations. Rather than simply implementing Scrum, she emphasizes the importance of understanding organizational motivations by asking crucial questions like "Why do you want this change?" and "What does success look like?" She outlines a comprehensive approach that begins with foundational training using the Scrum Guide, followed by Liftoff workshops to establish team foundations, working agreements, and regular check-ins to support continuous improvement. In this segment, we refer to the Liftoff book, by Diana Larsen and Ainsley Niles. Self-reflection Question: What steps are you taking to understand and align with your organization's transformation goals? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
Season Hughes: Transforming Workgroups into High-Performing Teams 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 shares insights about a common anti-pattern she's observed across organizations: calling a group of people a team doesn't automatically make them one. She discusses how many supposed teams are actually workgroups - collections of independent contributors rewarded for individual rather than collective achievements. Season provides specific criteria to distinguish between workgroups and real teams, emphasizing the importance of shared goals and collaborative success metrics. In this segment, we also refer to the One-Team, One-Goal (OTOG) article by Vasco. Featured Book of the Week: The Scrum Guide Season emphasizes the fundamental importance of The Scrum Guide as essential reading for Scrum Masters. She stresses that since Scrum Masters are accountable for coaching Scrum, they should regularly revisit the guide and stay current with updates. She specifically highlights how many Scrum Masters might miss crucial elements like "product goals," demonstrating why continuous engagement with this foundational document is vital for effective Scrum coaching. Self-reflection Question: How often do you revisit and reflect on the fundamental principles in the Scrum Guide? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
Season Hughes: How A Product Cancellation Tests a New Scrum Master's Growth 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. As a new Scrum Master, Season faced a challenging situation when her team learned their product would be canceled. Initially, she made the mistake of telling team members they could skip daily standups if they had higher priorities, leading to unexpected low attendance. During the retrospective, she transformed this challenge into a learning opportunity by helping team members reflect on their personal growth and lessons learned. This experience taught her the importance of maintaining team ceremonies while providing individual support during difficult transitions. In this segment, we talk about ORSC, a systems inspired team and relationship coach training. Self-reflection Question: How would you maintain team engagement and motivation when facing a product cancellation? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station
WDW Radio # 800 - Joe Rohde: Our Conversation on Art, Wildlife, and Culture This week, I'm sharing a special episode from the Archives, as my interview this week comes from show # 232 back in 2011 in honor of legendary voice actor Pete Renaday, who passed away on September 8. Pete's iconic voice brought life to unforgettable characters in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, including Henry from the Country Bear Jamboree, Walt Disney World's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (as Captain Nemo), The Hall of Presidents (as Abraham Lincoln), the Disneyland version of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and The Walt Disney Story as narrator, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, Adventure Thru Inner Space, and Mark Twain Riverboat. He was also the Ghost Host on the Haunted Mansion album (which I still have and love). I feel fortunate to have Pete be able to share his story in his own words and iconic voice as he shares his incredible journey—from meeting Walt Disney to his work on animated films and iconic attractions. So just refrain from hibernatin', and let's enjoy the show, cause he's still got a lot to give. - Which of Pete Renaday's voices do you like or recognize most?

http://www.attractionchecklist.com - This episode we visit Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom to ride Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin! Recorded on October 29, 2016. TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to Attraction Checklist. We joined up with Star Command back in episode #107 when we rode Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters and now it’s time to reenlist as we ride Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. The guide map describe Space Ranger Spin by saying: Fire lasers to defeat Zurg in this shooting gallery-inspired game. There are no age or height requirements for this attraction and the Thrill Level describes this as a Spinning, Slow Ride. FastPass+ is available for this attraction. Before we ride, here are five fast facts about Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. 1. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin officially opened in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland on November 3, 1998. 2. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin replaced the Dreamflight attraction. A few small pieces of Dreamflight remain. The hyperspace tunnel is original and two chickens from Dreamflight got an alien makeover and can still be spotted in one of the attraction’s scenes. 3. Frank Welker provides the voice of Emperor Zurg in this attraction and Pat Fraley voices our hero, Buzz Lightyear. 4. If you look closely at the batteries featured throughout the ride, the batteries, Zurg is trying to steal, you’ll notice they say Made In Glendale on them. A nod to Walt Disney Imagineering in Glendale, CA. 5. The Tomorrowland Transit Authority’s Peoplemover passes right through the Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin building and if you take a break from your laser blasting and look up you might just see it pass by! Let’s go for a ride on Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin! After the ride audio, I’ll give you my thoughts on this attraction.

Disney designed the Ford pavilion at the ’64 World’s Fair Needed to propel a stream of vehicles along a track It was achieved by vertically mounted rubber wheels spun by electric motors which pushed against a flat plate on the underside of the vehicles That system was refined and used for Disneyland’s PeopleMover Debuted in Disneyland’s Tomorrowland on July 2, 1967 PeopleMover was always planned and planned to go through Space Port, and the station would be inside Space Port The track was originally planned to be much longer and go over the Grand Prix Raceway The upper concourse path was built but left empty during the building of the Magic Kingdom for the 1971 opening When Space Port became Space Mountain, it moved to outside the berm, so the track layout was scaled back and changed to the track today, and the station moved from Space Mountain to it’s own station in the middle of Tomorrowland and the StarJets would be placed on top, similar to Disneyland Space Mountain holds the garaging track and a maintenance spur The Orlando version would use something different Non moving, solid state linear induction motors, which have an unlimited life expectancy There are 630 Linear Induction Motors on the track, 10 feet apart, ensuring that 4 motors are always under each 5 car train Each motor has a proximity sensor to tell the motor when to power on and a speed sensor to indicate how much power the motor produces When a train approaches the motor turns on and pulls the steel plate under the car towards it To stop the cars, the magnetic field is reversed in the motor to push against the steel plate, and why a stopping car can go backwards Up to 30 5-car trains can carry 3,600 guests per hour along 4,600 feet of track Each car has minimal moving parts, so they are high reliability. There are four main wheels and 8 smaller guide wheels per car. Since all drive and braking propulsion is supplied by the linear motor, there is no traction requirement between the wheels and the track. Consequently, heat, dust, wind, and moisture have no effect on the system’s operation. The system can have up to 50% LIM failure at random positions and still function Speeds are between 1.8 to 6.8 mph Progress City model With the move of the Carousel of Progress to WDW, the model of Progress City would be moved to the PeopleMover track that was designed to hold a diorama It would be cut down to fit the size of the diorama opening Construction began in early 1973 The Grand Prix Raceway track was closed and modified to accommodate Space Mountain. During the closure, the PeopleMover track was built over the raceway It cost $10 million to build The Star Jets opened 11/28/74 The PeopleMover opened 7/1/75 and dedicated in April 1976 It opened as the WEDWay PeopleMover and was an “E” Ticket attraction, but was changed to a “D” Ticket in Fall 1976 It was originally sponsored by the Edison Electrical Institute The original ride was narrated by Jack Wagner and ran from 1975 - 1985 and the Edison Electrical Institute sponsorship also ended He is famous for the various announcements over the park PA, for parades, special events, etc. He also did voice work for the Walt Disney World Resort, and for the attractions themselves, including instructions, emergency precautions, and safety spiels. Because of the prevalence of his voice over the park, his nickname was "The Voice of Disneyland". "Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor manténgase alejado de las puertas." Jack Wagner co-arranged the updated soundtrack for the Main Street Electrical Parade, used in various iterations of the parade from 1977 to 2009. Wagner was inducted as a Disney Legend posthumously in 2005. The narration was changed in 1985 and ran until 1994 It was narrated by ORAC-1, the commuter computer The narration was changed with the retheming of Tomorrowland in June 1994. It was narrated by Peter Renaday. The name was changed to the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, and it was the MetroLiner Blue Line The narration was changed once again in October 2, 2009 to the current spiel by Mike Brassell, which harkens back to the ORAC-1 spiel and tone The lighting system was also changed to color changing LEDs August 5, 2010, the name changed to the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover In 2013, the Progress City model was refurbished, the first time since 1975 In February 1974, WED created the Community Transport Services division to promote the WedWay in real world situations The first proposal was in 1976 for the then new WDW Village A new enclosed car design would be able to travel inclines It would offer on demand cars to a specified destination The route would service the shopping village, the hotel plaza, and a proposed office park A monorail from the Epcot area would meet an aerial station straddling Buena Vista Drive The monorail would run down the central median with the WedWay crossing at a lower level The multi level station would have escalator, elevator and stair access From the station, the WedWay would form a continuous loop line around the WDW Village Another change was this system had spur station tracks so moving cars could pass other cars parked at stops The SunTrust Bank was the only part of the office plaza built and the project quietly died. The original plans of Epcot had WedWay in 1975 and 1976 Communicore was built to take an elevated Wedway track; that’s why it’s two stories tall In July 1979, the Houston Airport agreed to purchase a WedWay system to link the terminals and hotel It opened in September, 1981 The Community Transport Services division was sold to Bombardier Bombardier installed a WedWay system that links the US Capitol to the Dirksen and Hart buildings in 1993

The guide map describes this attraction by saying: Ride this emission-free mass transit system of the future. There are no height or age requirements for this ride and the thrill level is describes the ride as being a slow ride. Before we embark on our journey around Tomorrowland, here are five fast facts about the Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover: 1. This attraction, originally called the WEDWay PeopleMover, opened on July 1, 1975. It was based on the PeopleMover at Disneyland Park in California. In 1994, when tomorrowland was receiving a complete overhaul, the name of the ride was changed to the Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover. 2. The Tomorrowland Transit Authority is powered magnetically with linear induction motors making it completely emissions free. 3. The narration for the current version of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMovier is provided by Mike Brassell who also serves as narrator for the Living With The Land attraction at EPCOT. 4. One of the highlights of any ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemver is passing by the model for Progress City. The portion of the model seen on the attraction today is just a small part of the original model which served as the preview for Walt Disney’s vision for EPCOT. 5. While your Peoplemover vehicle travels through Space Mountain, you hear a page for Mr. Tom Morrow to contact a Mr. Johnson. Tom Morrow was a character in the former tomorrowland attraction Flight to the Moon. When the same attraction was renamed Flight to Mars, the character of Tom Morrow was renamed Mr. Johnson And now it’s time to ride the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. Joining us again today is John deHaas and after we ride we’ll discuss our thoughts on this classic Magic Kingdom attraction.

This time about The Tomorrowland Transit Authority, Peter Pan's Flight, Cinderella's Castle, and Space Mountain. The main topic for today surrounds the notion of how they'd live at Walt Disney World for a full year. First they talk about the practical logistics of how they'd do it, and then they each go through the 10 ways they'd keep it fresh going to Disney World day after day. Annie's list includes making out with people from different countries, and Dan's list includes pooping on Tom Sawyer Island.

So it's time to Put on Your Ears, Give it a Little Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo, and get ready to Relive the Magic, Memories and Appreciation from Your Lifetime of Disney with our New Kind of Disney Show!
Come and join us for another installment of the WDW-Memories podcast, where I try to make it possible for you relive your Walt Disney World Memories when you can't actually be there. Today’s again going to be a departure from our normal Request and Memory show. Today we’re going to do a trip report from my trip last month in June. This trip was over 4 days, the first three of which were in the evenings or before my convention in Orlando, and the 4th was with the whole family. So I’m going to break this trip report up into 3 consecutive episodes which I’ll release on 3 consecutive weeks. That’s right, instead of every other week, I’m going to put these out on a special weekly schedule. And today, we’re going to be continuing the trip report with day two at the Magic Kingdom, and day three at Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, since they were just evenings after my meetings were done. Then we will finish this podcast with a ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority or TTA.

WEDway Radio - Walt Disney World and Disneyland Examined with some Disney History
In this episode Matt and Nate revisit their Tomorrowland 1994 RetroMagic series by visiting one of everyones favorite attractions at Walt Disney World, the ever popular Tomorrowland Transit Authority. As Nate says, "Its hard to pinpoint why this attraction is so popular; It isn't exciting, There arent any audio-animatronics, and there are no real special effects. However, it is nostalgic, its easy so the whole family can ride it and theres hardly ever a line." For the first ten years the WEDway Peoplemover was basically a tour of Tomorrowland voiced by the legendary Jack Wagner. Then in 1986 the attraction changed to a commuter computer and the focus changed from a tour to focus more on the linear induction motor. In 1994 the attraction changed again with the Tomorrowland refurbishment and the ride turned into an attraction that had depth and a story and seemed like so much more than a tour. In 2009 the attraction changed back to more of a tour of the area and less a part of a sytem of transit throughout a fantasy world of tomorrow. Theres just something about the TTA that makes us all feel a little closer to Walt Disney himself. This may be the best podcast ever produced. We added that last line just so it would appear in Mush's Blog. In the news this week we discuss the new walkway being built to connect the once temporary Bugs Land at DCA to the Hollywood Pictures Backlot. Also the closing of the Aladdin Show at the Hyperion Theater is discussed.

The WDW Radio Show - Your Walt Disney World Information Station
Welcome to the WDW Radio Show, your Walt Disney World Information Station. This is Show #31 for the week of September 9, 2007. In Walt Disney World News this week, we'll look at some exciting new things happening with pin trading, some interesting new patent applications filed by Disney that just may be bringing about some changes to the FASTPASS system, some Playhouse Disney concerts and more. In the Walt Disney World Rumor Mill, we'll see what’s going on over at the Haunted Mansion as more details emerge, stop by Tomorrowland and see what may be coming to Space Mountain and the rumored new E-Ticket attraction, talk about Disney and Apple and lots more. This week, Jeff Pepper and I are going to do a very different kind of DSI: Disney Scene Investigation, as we take a look at the story and details not behind an attraction or pavilion, but a resort hotel. We will not only review the hotel, its amenities, dining options and rooms, but look at the details and hidden treasures that make it an attraction in and of itself. It's one of our favorites, and one of the best themed hotels on property - Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort. We'll look at another of Walt Disney World’s Hidden Treasures this week with the help of Dan and Eric from MouseGuest, who share in my love for the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, and explain why they believe it truly is one of WDW’s overlooked experiences. I'll get through some more of your emails and voicemails as well, so sit back, relax enjoy this week's episode of The WDW Radio Show.
