Be careful what you discuss with friends at a conference, or you may end up writing a book about it. That's what Ryan Ripley is learning now that the book he wrote with Todd Miller, Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions to Common Sense Problems, is on shelves. After talking about some of the challenges he's seen helping Scrum teams inspect and adapt with friends, someone said, "that sounds like a book right there!"

Ripley and host Chris Murman discuss the writing process, why Scrum is just now hitting its stride, and why it's still the best solution to take a group of people and deliver effective solutions today.

The book is available on Amazon, and be sure to tell him Murman sent you.

In the latest episode of our "Should I Take This?" series, once again Troy Lightfoot and Jay Hrcsko sit down to discuss another Scaled Agile course, and this time it's Lean Portfolio Management.  Check it out and let us know if you agree!

In this episode of our "Should I Take This?" series, Jay Hrcsko and Troy Lightfoot sit down to discuss the SAFe DevOps Practitioner course. 

Hint: this course isn't for just for developers, and maybe the most rewarding course that you don't hear much about!

Enjoy!

In this Agile Uprising podcast, co-hosts Andy Cleff and Erik Cottrell chat with David Marquet about his latest book. The hypothesis behind “Leadership is Language” is that how we communicate at work has been programmed by Industrial Revolution thinking. However in today’s world of creative knowledge work, we no longer labor on old-fashioned assembly lines, so why should we use language that was designed for them? 

Marquet provides six plays to change the way we show up, impact our organizational cultures, and ultimately transform our outcomes:

• Control the clock, don't obey the clock
• Collaborate, don't coerce
• Commit, don't comply
• Complete, don't continue
• Improve, don't prove
• Connect, don't conform
