With Xbox's famous ringworld officially arriving on PlayStation 5 in 2026, we can rest assured that Sony's longtime rival has finally conceded the console space for good. Halo: Campaign Evolved -- clever! -- is a ground-up remake of the smash-hit 2001 Xbox launch title, and it comes with some new bells and whistles, including fresh content and a four-player online-enabled campaign. Microsoft even trotted Halo's community manager out in a PlayStation shirt, promised all upcoming Halo content is Sony-bound, and yielded perhaps their last meaningful franchise to the competition. This gives us much to discuss! Plus: Helldivers 2 dev Arrowhead begins work on its next project, Horizon's live-action movie is slated to film next year and launch in '27, Resident Evil 0 Remake rumors are percolating, we may be waiting a while longer for Starfield's PS5 debut, Electronic Arts scores a renewed deal with the NFL to continue the Madden franchise, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Why does anyone care about Photo Mode? What's our dream PowerWash Simulator 2 DLC? Is it okay to play a game without delving into its greater meaning and themes?

This week marks episode 211 of the What Are We Doing Podcast, and I've officially hit the “too busy to breathe” point. I'm on a 12-day nonstop run of weddings, events, podcasts, and marketing chaos, all while trying to remember to eat something other than leftover mac and cheese. October? No days off. What are we doing?This episode kicks off with a PSA to brides, grooms, and anyone who plans to serve food to a crowd: hire Mission Barbecue. Forget the “mom-and-pop” caterers who promise love in every bite but deliver cold broccoli and chaos. Forget the fancy chefs who run out of oven space. You want food that tastes good, shows up on time, and doesn't need a miracle to stay warm? Mission Barbecue. That's it. End of debate.Then I move into the part of the weekend where my friend Kaisa got married. I DJ'd the wedding as my gift, and in return, her husband Paul gifted me a 1999 graded 8.5 holographic Gengar Pokémon card. We looked it up. Thirty thousand dollars. Thirty thousand. I cried in my car. You try keeping a straight face when someone hands you a $30k ghost Pokémon as a thank-you. What are we doing?After that came a trunk-or-treat event for local preschools, hundreds of kids, and a K-Pop Demon Hunter dance party. Because apparently, I don't know how to say no to anything in October.But before we can even think about Halloween, it's time for the annual Thanksgiving Meal Olympics. Aldi, Walmart, Costco, Giant, and Honey Baked Ham are all fighting for your turkey money. Aldi wants $40 to feed ten people. Costco says $199 for eight. Walmart undercuts them all with $38, but you have to cook everything yourself. Giant's claiming $20 but only if you've spent $400 already. And then there's Honey Baked Ham, where you pay for peace, quality, and not having to bake anything. Two minutes in the oven. Done. Best ham or turkey of your life. What are we doing?From there, we head straight into politics. Donald Trump has pardoned Binance CEO CZ after a $4 billion fraud settlement—right after CZ's company invested $2 billion in Trump's family crypto business, “World Liberty Financial.” Totally a coincidence, right? The man literally said money laundering isn't a crime. Then he tore down the East Wing of the White House to build a $350 million ballroom. Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and half the Fortune 500 are helping pay for it. And when people asked about the construction, the White House released a slideshow including Clinton's scandal, Obama's “terrorist visitors,” and Hunter Biden's cocaine bag as part of “historical context.” What are we doing?And if that circus wasn't enough, the New York City mayoral debate turned into an SNL sketch. Candidates argued over parades. One said all parades matter. Another said he's too busy to attend. Someone asked if they'd create new parades. A third guy looked like he was being held hostage. Absolute chaos.We wrap the episode with the $20 million diamond heist at the Louvre. Some say it's real. Others think it's PR for “Now You See Me 3.” Either way, it's proof that someone in Paris didn't spring for $30 Wi-Fi cameras. If they want those diamonds back, they better call Nicolas Cage. What are we doing?Episode 211 is pure madness from start to finish: bad caterers, rare Pokémon, Trump's crypto pardons, Thanksgiving hacks, a mayoral debate about parades, and a diamond heist conspiracy.So before you go—hit the like button.

Alex Sloley: How to Coach POs Who Treat Developers Like Mindless Robots In this episode, we refer to the previous episodes with David Marquet, author of Turn the Ship Around! The Great Product Owner: Trust and the Sprint Review That Changes Everything 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. "She was like, oh my gosh, I've never seen this before, I didn't think it was possible. I just saw you deliver stuff in 2 weeks that I can actually use." - Alex Sloley In 2011, Alex worked with a client organization creating software for external companies. They needed a Product Owner for a new Agile team, and a representative from the client—who had never experienced Scrum—volunteered for the role. She was initially skeptical, having never witnessed or heard of this approach. Alex gently coached her through the process, asking her to trust the team and be patient. Then came the first Sprint Review, and everything changed. For the first time in her career, she saw working product delivered in just two weeks that she could actually touch, see, and use. Her head exploded with possibility. Even though it didn't have everything and wasn't perfect, it was remarkably good. That moment flipped a switch—she became fully engaged and transformed into a champion for Agile adoption, not just for the team but for the entire company. Alex reflects that she embodied all five Scrum values: focus (trusting the team's capacity), commitment (attending and engaging in all events), openness (giving the new approach a chance), respect (giving the team space to succeed), and courage (championing an unfamiliar process). The breakthrough wasn't about product ownership techniques—it was about creating an experience that reinforced Scrum values, allowing her to see the potential of a bright new future. Self-reflection Question: What practices, techniques, or processes can you implement that will naturally and automatically build the five Scrum values in your Product Owner? The Bad Product Owner: When Control Becomes Domination 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. "They basically just owned the team. The developers on the team might as well have been mindless robots, because they were being assigned all the work, told how much work they could do in a sprint, what the work was." - Alex Sloley In 2018, while working with five interconnected Product Owners, Alex observed a Sprint Planning session that revealed a severe anti-pattern. One Product Owner completely controlled everything, telling the team exactly what work they would take into the Sprint, assigning specific work to specific people by name, and dictating precisely how they would implement solutions down to technical details like which functions and APIs to use. The developers were reduced to helpless executors with no autonomy, while the Scrum Master sat powerless in the corner. Alex wondered what caused this dynamic—was the PO a former project manager? Had the team broken trust in the past? What emotional baggage or trauma led to this situation? His approach started with building trust through coffee meetings and informal conversations, crucially viewing the PO not as the problem but as someone facing their own impediment. He reframed the challenge as solving the Product Owner's problem rather than fixing the Product Owner. When he asked, "Why do you have to do all this? Can't you trust the team?" and suggested the PO could relax if they delegated, the response was surprisingly positive. The PO was willing to step back once given permission and assurance. Alex's key lesson: think strategically about how to build trust and who needs to build trust with whom. Sometimes the person who appears to be creating problems is actually struggling under their own burden. Self-reflection Question: When you encounter a controlling Product Owner, do you approach the situation as "fixing" the PO or as "solving the PO's problem"? How might this reframe change your coaching strategy? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Can you really “train” your eyes to work better or is vision therapy mostly hype? In this episode, I'm breaking down the three main types of vision therapy, what the science says about each, and how to tell when it's actually helpful versus when it's just expensive pseudoscience. We'll talk convergence insufficiency (the one real winner), why eye exercises don't fix dyslexia or myopia, and how to ask the right questions before spending a dime. Takeaways: What “vision therapy” actually means and why ophthalmologists don't usually do it. The big myth about eye exercises curing learning disabilities and dyslexia. Why vision therapy won't reverse nearsightedness (no matter what social media says). The rare situation where vision therapy does work and what it looks like. How to protect yourself (and your wallet) from unproven treatments dressed up as science. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Alex Sloley: Why Sticky Notes Are Your Visualization Superpower in Retrospectives 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. "Like the smell, the vibe is something you feel. If you're having a successful impact on the organization or on teams as a Scrum Master, you can feel it, you can smell it. It's intangible." - Alex Sloley Alex introduces a compelling concept from Sumantra Ghoshal about "the smell of the workplace"—you can walk into an environment and immediately sense whether it smells like fresh strawberries and cream or a dumpster fire. In Australia, there's a cultural reference from the movie "The Castle" about "the vibe of the thing," and Alex emphasizes that as a successful Scrum Master, you can feel and smell when you're having an impact. While telling executives you're measuring "vibe" might be challenging, Alex shares three concrete ways he's measured success. The key insight is that success isn't always measurable in traditional ways, but successful Scrum Masters develop an intuition for sensing when their work is making a meaningful difference. Self-reflection Question: Can you articulate the "vibe" or "smell" of your current team or organization? What specific indicators tell you whether your Scrum Master work is truly making an impact beyond the metrics? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Sticky Notes for Everything Alex champions any retrospective format that includes sticky notes, calling them a "visualization superpower." With sticky notes, teams can visualize anything—the good, the bad, improvements, options, possibilities, and even metrics. They make information transparent, which is critical for the inspect-and-adapt cycle that forms the heart of Scrum. Alex emphasizes being strategic about visualization: identify a challenge, figure out how to make it visual, and then create experiments around that visualization. Once something becomes visible, magic happens because the team can see patterns they've never noticed before. You can use different sizes, colors, and positions to visualize constraints in the system, including interruptions, unplanned work, blocker clustering, impediments, and flow. This approach works not just in retrospectives but in planning, reviews, and daily scrums. The key principle is that you must have transparency in order to inspect, and you must inspect to adapt. Alex's practical advice: be strategic about what you choose to visualize, involve the team in determining how to make challenges visible, and watch as the transparency naturally leads to insights and improvement ideas.

Alex Sloley: Coaching Teams Trapped Between Agile Aspirations and Organizational Control 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 team says, oh, we want to try to do things this way, and the org keeps coming back and saying stuff like, no, no, no, you can't do that, because in this org, we don't allow that." - Alex Sloley Alex shares his current challenge working with a 10-person pilot Scrum team within a 1,500-person organization that has never done Agile before. While the team appears open-minded and eager to embrace agile ways of working, the organization continuously creates impediments by dictating how the team must estimate, break down work, and operate. Management tells them "the right way" to do everything, from estimation techniques to role-based work assignments, even implementing RACI matrices that restrict who can do what type of work. Half the team has been with the organization for six months or less, making it comfortable to simply defer to authority and follow organizational rules. Through coaching conversation, Alex explores whether the team might be falling into learned helplessness or simply finding comfort in being told what to do—both positions that avoid accountability. His experimental approach includes designing retrospective questions to help the team reflect on what they believe they're empowered to do versus what management dictates, and potentially using delegation cards to facilitate conversations about decision-making authority. Alex's key insight is recognizing that teams may step back from empowerment either out of fear or comfort, and identifying which dynamic is at play requires careful, small experiments that create safe spaces for honest dialogue. Self-reflection Question: When your team defers to organizational authority, are they operating from learned helplessness, comfort in avoiding accountability, or genuine respect for hierarchy? How can you design experiments to uncover the real dynamic at play? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
