Breaking Bad Scrum - A Q&A with Professional Scrum Trainer Ryan Ripley

September 6, 2018

Dozens of books address the mechanics and theory behind Scrum. These books are great, but they offer little guidance to those who work on Scrum Teams and are neck-deep in organizational dysfunction—and have no idea what to do next. Let's try an experiment. Rather than trying to figure out what you need or want to hear from this session, we propose your taking over as the product owner and driving the discussion. Leveraging the power of the crowd, Professional Scrum Trainer Ryan Ripley addresses the questions of the webinar and provides guidance and advice to the most pressing questions and situations.  Ryan took real-time questions and crafted them into a session that helps you break the cycle of bad Scrum. Learn what you can do to “inspect and adapt” your way back to a healthy Scrum practice and how the Scrum Values – Focus, Commitment, Respect, Openness, and Courage - can be leveraged to take your Scrum Teams to the next level.
