Stories have a powerful impact on humans. Most of us have a favorite story. This can be a book, a movie, a play, an opera, or something else. We can remember details from stories that surpass most of the facts we can otherwise keep in our mind. And yet in a professional setting we often use facts to transport information and learning instead of stories. In this webinar, Professional Scrum Trainer Peter Götz will discuss why this is wrong and how it can be improved. He will share where he is using stories and what effects can be achieved when we tell each other stories instead of facts.

In this webinar, Professional Scrum Trainer Ralph Jocham, will walk through the different goals in Scrum and share examples of how they are used and how to avoid challenges when using them.

In this discussion, Ralph Jocham, Don McGreal, Patricia Kong, and Kurt Bittner will discuss how to improve goals by adding specific measures to know when goals are achieved, how to seek toward goals using empiricism, and how to choose measures to help inform improvements. They will talk about Evidence-Based Management, a framework developed by Scrum.org to help organizations use empiricism to set goals and make progress toward those goals. 

In this webinar, we will follow the journey of Mike Torrence - a US Military Veteran who took on the role of the Scrum Master, and his Scrum Team, as they navigated challenges that were getting in the way of creating reliable forecasts for stakeholders. Professional Scrum Trainer Ravi Verma will help guide this discussion

This talk with Professional Scrum Trainers Matthew Hodgson and Mia Horrigan will give you a playbook to measure agility.

El Scrum Master es un líder servicial, un rol transformador, un rol de cambio. Su forma de actuar es indirecta, facilitando en todo momento la autogestión del Equipo Scrum para lograr el Objetivo del Producto. Es invisible porque actúa ayudando al éxito de los demás usando diferentes posturas o formas de actuar, pero presente porque acompaña durante todo el proceso de crecimiento del Equipo Scrum de diversas maneras, ayudando a revelar, pero no necesariamente resolviendo. El Scrum Master brinda servicios a todo el Equipo Scrum y la Organización. Lo importante del Scrum Master no es que hace sino como lo hace. Un Scrum Master es exitoso cuando el Equipo Scrum es exitoso.

Sind mehrere Product Owner nötig, um Scrum effektiv zu skalieren? Nein.  Dass in skalierter Produktentwicklung mehrere Product Owner von Nöten sind, ist ein weit verbreiteter Irrglaube. Dieser Beitrag räumt mit diesem Irrglauben auf. Wird die Product Owner Rolle durch mehrere Personen skaliert, führt es zu Wertminimierung, steigendem Risiko und unnötiger Verlängerung der Time to Market. Es ist somit eine ineffektive Art, Product Ownership zu skalieren.
