In this blog, PST Joshua Partogi shares a technique to introduce and improve organisation agility using the Scrum Values.

It is quite common to see someone who is called a Product Owner not really have ownership over the product. This kind of Product Owner  is often lacking vision and demotivates the Developer. In this video podcast I discussed how we can help the Product Owner take ownership of the product. Enjoy folks.

Hey what's happening awesome people? I hope you had a great weekend. One of my youtube channel viewers asked me what should happen when the developers try to remove the Scrum Master from the Scrum Team? A very interesting indeed.

What is good awesome people? I hope you are having an awesome weekend so far. After my two previous vlogs, many people asked me: What Happens To The Sprint Backlog Items That Are Not Done?

What should the Development Team do when the Product Owner asks them to do work that was not planned during Sprint Planning?

One of the most common questions that I get in my classes is: What should the Development Team do when they've finished all of the planned Sprint Backlog before the end of the Sprint?

What is up awesome people? In this vlog, I am doing something different to all of my other vlogs. The topic technical debt does not get talked about often in the agile space even though some of the agile manifesto signatories like Ward Cunningham and Martin Fowler have concerns about it. 

What's up, awesome people? I hope you are having a good weekend. Recently, many people asked me how to write a perfectly detailed user story...

What are the Scrum Product Owner's Accountabilities & Responsibilities? Are they just Business Analysts who detailed User Stories in JIRA?

Starting from today, I am going to start a new series on my channel which I will call the 2 minutes FAQ series.

What's up awesome people. I hope you are all having a great week.

One of the most asked question in my PSPO class is "What is the difference between Product Manager and Product Owner?", "Who has higher authority than the other?". There are many blogs, articles and youtube videos on the internet that compares Product Manager and Product Owner.

The fact is, Scrum and DevOps works well together.

One of the most asked question that people ask me in my Professional Scrum classes is "Who should be in the development team" in Scrum?

In today's vlog, I discuss about the differences between the Scrum Master and the Product Owner role.

in today's vlog I am sharing with you how to use Scrum with Kanban.

Other than the Definition of Done, the Sprint Goal is the other most important aspect of Scrum.

Hello awesome people. How was your week? In today's vlog I would like to talk about one of the most important aspects of Scrum, that is the Definition of "Done".

Hello awesome people. I hope you had a great week. After my vlog on Project Manager versus Scrum Master, one of the viewers asked me to do a comparison between Project Manager and Product Owner also.

Hey awesome people. Over the past few years I have seen many misunderstandings about the Product Owner role and how many organisations mapped the Product Owner role using their cognitive bias.

Hi awesome people. Courage is one of the Scrum values and as part of my New Year's resolution this year I would like to have more courage to point out elephant in the room at the risk people may dislike me for doing it.

Hey awesome people. I hope you are starting the new year with excitement. One of the most popular questions I got in my Professional Scrum Master (PSM) class from the past years is: "What are the differences between Project Manager and Scrum Master?"

It’s that time again. The end of the year, where many of us take a step back to reflect on the year that will almost be over soon and create another new year resolution. Like many of you, I do the same. On my last year life retrospectives, I wrote about servant leadership.

Hey awesome people. I hope you are having a great time with your friends and families in this holiday season.

Hello awesome people. Today I want to share with you my personal guidelines that I have been using to recruit/hire Scrum Masters from the job market.

Hello awesome people. How was your week so far? I hope you are having an awesome week. In this vlog, I will be sharing a light introduction about coaching mainly within the context of Scrum framework.

Hey everyone. How has your week been going? We are entering summer here in Perth. And in today's vlog, I'd like to share with you how to evaluate the Scrum Master's performance.

Hello awesome people. It's me again with new learnings from the trenches. In our Professional Scrum Master and Professional Scrum Master II classes, we talk about several stances that the Scrum Master uses to improve organisation agility to deliver valuable products. 

In this vlog, I also share some of my observations on how companies structure the relationship between Product Owner and Product Manager in a scaled Scrum environment.

Hello awesome people. Just a few weeks ago somebody from the internet sent me an email saying that his company already used Scrum but he felt that it is not more agile than when he used waterfall. 

Hello awesome people. Back at it again with new learning from the trenches. Over the years working with Product Owners who mainly work in large corporations, I see common challenges.

Hello awesome people. It's me again with a new learning from within a Scrum Team. The Development Team I was working with around 3 months ago challenged the Product Owner about the User Story she brought into the Sprint Planning.

Hello awesome people. I want to share with you my recent experience and discussion with a senior manager who needs advice on how to measure his organisation agility.

I share my thoughts in this video about the practices and activities the Scrum Master should be doing to increase his/her awesomeness. Hopefully it will help you to find the gap towards awesomeness.

Every year I like to deliberately go somewhere far from the crowd to take a break and reflect. You can say that it's similar to a retrospectives. Often times I may not realised whether as a Scrum Master my service to the organisation is already effective or not.

Scrum is a goal driven framework. And that is what I really like about Scrum. If I can summarize Scrum Guide into one sentence, it is about delivering an increment that meets the Sprint Goal.

It was 8:59 am on Monday. It was another week which I thought was going to be amazing. Last week our company just closed another round of investment. The company is currently strategizing to scale agility throughout the company.
