To be product-aligned and customer-focused, everyone in your product ecosystem needs to agree on the answer to the question, “What is Your Product?” Many organizations don’t have clarity about how they define a product or products. There is ambiguity and disagreement on the answer, defining the product too narrowly or confusing product with product line or even company with product.  Not understanding what “the product” is, can lead to slow response to changing customer and market needs and less than satisfying product outcomes. Misalignment over the definition of the product thwarts efforts to scale agile product development and causes a plethora of organizational and communication woes. 

In this episode of Ask a Professional Scrum Trainer, PST Matt Dominici will be available to answer all of your toughest Scrum questions, so please come prepared with your current Scrum related issues that you need help with!

This video with PST Uta Kapp talks about the Women in Agile Conference 2020.

Scrum and agility create frameworks for diversity. A healthy mix of men and women will benefit from this. In this post I want to explain why.

Many members of Management perceive Scrum as a way to get more velocity, widgets, thingamajigs, outputs, etc. etc. with less money, less people and less time.

Last week, someone on Reddit asked whether there would be any other profession that requires attending a 2-day training class and would then pay as well as a Scrum Master job.

As the Product Owner, you are well aware that part of the success of your product depends on your decision. Every day, you must be facing...

La Sprint Review est l'événement au cours duquel l'Équipe Scrum et les parties prenantes (invitées par le Product Owner) se retrouvent pour inspecter l'Incrément et adapter le Product Backlog.

With the Covid 19 pandemic, I really struggled big time to create the boundary between my work life and personal life. Day by day, that boundary was getting thin. There were lofty overlaps and I sucked at creating the balance.

During my interactions with my students/ colleagues who play the role of Scrum Master, they tell me that they see gaps in how things are implemented compared to the rules of the Scrum Guide.

TL; DR: 70 Scrum Master Theses The following 70 Scrum Master theses describe the role of from a holistic product creation perspective.

Product Owner is Accountable for Maximizing Value of The Product.

In meinen Professional Scrum Master Trainings beantwortet ein Großteil der Teilnehmer diese Frage mit: “Hoffentlich so früh wie möglich, denn als Scrum Master ist es unsere Aufgabe uns selbst überflüssig zu machen.” Haben Sie damit Recht? 

If you currently are in search of the answer to this question, enjoy this video.

The 2017 version of the Scrum Guide states, "The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from work of the Development Team." But what does value mean anyway?

Agility is a buzz word that can be interpreted to mean different things to different people. In this session, Professional Scrum Trainer Ravi Verma and his colleague Steve Tallent will explore several questions together,

The days are getting shorter and colder. Summer is over and winter is coming. Some people are already thinking about the holidays and the preparations for it. Soon children will have their Christmas wish list ready. The wish lists my children created were always a combination of text and pictures; every item on the list contained a name, a picture, information where to buy it and how much it costs. They did everything to increase the chance of getting these presents and especially getting the right presents.

I hope you had some fun playing this year's Scrummer Quiz, which we played from July to August. I know many played each week, to either learn something new about Scrum or to win an autographed book by JJ and Jeff Sutherland ("Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time"). Truly a unique prize.

Professional Scrum Trainer Sahin Guvenilir wrote, "Make Sure You Don’t Build High Performing Teams Just to Deliver Wrong Things Faster".

The end of 2020 is nearing, and it’s product roadmap building time again—at least for those companies that are still dedicated to the old command-and-control model. In the next few weeks, executives and (key) stakeholders will come together and define new functionality that they believe will meet business demands in 2021.

In this blog series I would like to address topics that relate to professional team coaching as well as Professional Scrum. In the course of becoming a Professional Team Coach, I noticed a lot of interesting topics for Scrum Masters who want to improve their coaching stance.

In this post, we explore how continuous improvement is the lifeblood of Scrum Teams.
