Remember when letting people choose their own teams seemed completely radical? (I sure do!) A decade ago, Sandy Mamoli and David Mole pioneered "self-selection" at Trade Me in New Zealand, sparking a movement that would challenge conventional wisdom about team formation. In this reunion episode, we dive deep into their journey from initial experiment to proven practice. Drawing on a decade of experience across industries, cultures, and continents, Sandy and David share how self-selection has evolved to meet modern workplace challenges. What you'll learn: Why trust, ownership, and vision are the three rivers that power successful self-selection How the practice adapted from in-person to remote/hybrid environments What traditional banks and cutting-edge startups have in common when it comes to team formation Where self-selection is headed in an era of AI and fluid team structures Practical steps to start your own self-selection journey Whether you're a seasoned agilist or new to the concept, this episode offers fresh insights into how organizations thrive when people choose their teams. (And yes, we'll answer that burning question: "But what if people make the wrong choice?")

In this episode of the Agile Uprising podcast, host Andy Cleff chats with Simon Holzapfel about how humans organized and learned together before industrial-age practices disrupted our natural patterns.

The conversation challenges common assumptions about organizational hierarchy and control, suggesting that agile principles aren't new inventions, but rather a rediscovery of how humans naturally work and learn together.

As our summer break continues, we are bringing back a classic episode, too good to not bring back! Join Brad Stokes and Christopher Avery as they discuss The Responsibility Process®. When Christopher Avery was a management consultant, this was his driving question: Why are so many smart people unhappy at work? 20 years ago, Christopher realized that the most useful skills he was teaching his smart, ambitious, professional clients were coping skills. They needed coping skills because they were stuck in a suffocating culture that systematically disempowered and controlled them. An insidious control cycle kept well-meaning, high-performing leaders and key contributors at all levels from doing their best, taking risks, learning, and operating with freedom, power and choice for the organizations’ best interests. His own career trajectory changed forever when Christopher began working with an emerging behavioral science framework — The Responsibility Process®. This powerful framework is the world's first proven how-to approach for understanding, teaching, and taking personal responsibility. It helps us apply our innate leadership ability to face and overcome any challenge. Operating in freedom, power, and choice, we encourage and support those we lead to do likewise.

In this episode of the Agile Uprising podcast, host Andy Cleff chats with guest Lennie Noiles about the importance of coaching and supervision for agile coaches. They explore the idea of coaching supervision, which focuses on helping coaches reflect on their own practices and improve their coaching skills. Lennie emphasizes the need for coaches to have their own coaches and the benefits of group coaching supervision. The Essence of Coaching Supervision: "Supervision is different, where coaching is partnering, supervision is co-creating... It's a lot of reflection. What did you do in your last session? What was your expectation? How did you intervene? Why did you intervene that way?" — Lennie Noiles [05:27 → 08:47] They also delve into the concept of nature-based coaching, where conversations take place during walks away from distractions, and how this approach can lead to deeper self-awareness and reflection. Lennie shares his journey from agile project manager to leadership coach and discusses the common misconception that teams are the problem when often it's the system they operate within. The Misconception of Agile Coaching: "I kept getting asked this question by people in leadership positions, 'Will you come and fix my team?' And so it's like, okay, well, let me go talk to your team. And more often than not, the conversation that I would have is I spoke with your team. We need to have a different conversation." — Lennie Noiles [01:38 → 02:45] The conversation also touches on the impact of the pandemic on coaching practices and the shift towards a new normal in the business world.

From the archives: Join Andy Flemming and Andy Cleff as they discuss An Everyone Culture: Deliberately Developmental Organizations.
DDO’s create an unusual kind of environment, one that tolerates — even prefers — making one's failures, risks, and weaknesses public so that colleagues can support each other in the process of overcoming them.
There's a wonderful congruence with Modern Agile principles:
- Make People Awesome
- Make Safety a Prerequisite
- Experiment & Learn Rapidly
- Deliver Value Continuously

Discord members Niklas Kari, Mike Caddell, and Janel Lanza welcome fellow agilist Christiaan Verwijs to discuss his recent article on a data-driven approach to discussing SAFe. It's everyone's favorite framework to bash and blame for the issues in our work, and often the arguments are based on anecdotal evidence.
So, when someone decided to do some extensive research on the topic, it got our attention and we wanted to hear more.
Verwijs outlined the research method, how the questions were adapted over time to respond to research participants, and how it's been received so far in the community. Team autonomy is a big part of the data set, as is the reception and reaction of the C-suite.
We're not really sure if the data proves one way or another that SAFe is truly bad. Ultimately, it will likely confirm whatever opinion you have. However, it is vitally important to base impressions on various frameworks on more than emotional evidence. This was an interesting discussion of how.

This week Co-hosts Troy Lightfoot and Chris Murman sit down with special guest Colleen Johnson, CEO of ProKanban.org, and discuss an interesting topic, "Death of the Product Roadmap." Colleen makes a case for moving away from traditional roadmaps to utilizing portfolio Kanban at scale to achieve agility at all levels of an organization.
TLDL: The idea of a roadmap is not bad, but the most common forms and uses of roadmaps are speculative, deterministic, and prescriptive. All things that are not suited for a world full of unknowns.

Join Andrew Leff, Troy Lightfoot and Andy Cleff as they make a pilgrimage to The Lodge at Snowbird, UT. There they discover some amazing artifacts that date back to circa 2001. This episode is graciously sponsored by Wellington Dowd. His framework, the Foundation Utilizing Core Knowledge To Actualize Realistic Delivery, is a multi-level phase-gated process to roll out "the agile" to your organization WITHOUT ACTUALLY CHANGING ANYTHING!
Are we humans at the mercy of hard-wired circuits buried deep in the animalistic parts of our brains or are we the architects of our own experience?
In this episode, Andy Cleff shares his research on the Triune Brain theory and some surprising facts.

In a blog post last year, AU board member Chris Murman wrote about loneliness and his experience with the topic in his professional journey. Because they are gluttons for punishment and love discussing their own misery, Jay Hrcsko, and Andrew Leff joined Murman to start the new year off with an emotional blood-letting.
Along the way, the three discuss:
- How comfortable we all are with the topic.
- The difference between loneliness and being alone.
- Is it possible to tell if someone is lonely?
- What do we say when we see it in ourselves and others?
- Some ways to turn loneliness into an opportunity to connect with others.
It was a fantastic chat because the more we destigmatize the topic (like others in the past 20 years), the easier it is to bring up loneliness to others in our lives. As we begin 2023 anew, please share this episode with others because you never know who it could have a positive impact on. This is Murman speaking here, and I'm so thankful to have these two gentlemen in my life to walk through the challenging stuff. If it didn't come out enough in the pod, I wouldn't be the person I am today without friends like them.

We explore thru a Boxian lens "All models are wrong, but some are useful."
Are these effective tools for organizations to gain new perspectives on themselves?
Are there other potentially better ways to journey in complex adaptive systems?

Not long ago, Chris Murman and Jay Hrcsko recorded a podcast about some of the mistakes or failures Murman has made in his agile journey. Perhaps it wasn't an outright fail, but definitely coaching he wished he could have a do-over. It is part of a larger conversation we have been having at AU for quite some time. We even wish we could host a conference devoted solely to failure bows.
It definitely become a fiery topic since the pandemic to realize the ways of working most held dear weren’t always the case anymore. And yet we hold them as always true. So Murm put the call out on Twitter for someone else to join me in the conversation. Treasured peer and friend Paul Tevis answered the Bat Signal, and we thank him for his bravery.
Join Murman and Tevis as they discuss why it's so tough to discuss failure in an industry that claims to embrace it. What were some moments we wish we could do over again, and why it's important to find those moments? Recognizing the opportunity to use regret is the key to taking huge leaps forward together.

Every agile practitioner's dream is to run a transformation...but is it all it's cracked up to be? This week the panel of Janee McConnell, Andrew Leff, Chris Murman, and Jay Hrcsko discuss their experiences with being the HMFIC in regards to helping an organization achieve agility. What battles did they expect but didn't have? What battles did they not expect but ended up fighting? And what advice would they give other practitioners going down this road? Enjoy!

This week we were lucky enough to sit down with Alicia Yanik and Nathan Chowilawu-Eshe a.k.a. The Agile Twins, hosts of the Transformation Simulation podcast! We discuss their show's history, the idea genesis, and then we veer wildly off-course into the problems with agile, where our industry is going, and why transformations no longer "follow the script." Enjoy!

Many of us have had interesting professional journeys, but how many of us have actually had a life-changing epiphany that makes us question EVERYTHING? This week Jay sat down with Chris Murman to have a no holds barred, no topic off limits conversation with Chris about some of his recent insights, regrets, and things he'd do differently. Take a listen, you might learn something about yourself.

This week we continue our Metaphors Matter series, but from a different angle...we all encounter "problems" at work of varying size, impact, and severity. Being as we're trying to move from mechanical or biological metaphors, would it make sense to refer to these problems as illnesses? Or injuries? What about the idea of disease in an organization? Join us this week as the panel unpacks this metaphor. Cheers!

So, is agile Marvel, DC, Darkhorse or something else? Which universe personifies the life of an agilist? Chris Murman, Janeé McConnell and Brad Stokes take up the challenge to examine Agile through the lens of superheroes. They look at the good, the bad and the insane and try to understand just how well Nightwing would do in the role of Scrum Master.
Fun one this week! Jay and Janee sit down to discuss Janee's attempt at creating an "agile mixtape." From there the conversation veers into bad retros, crying at work, and the concept of a "broken glass boss". Enjoy!

This week we continue the conversation around metaphors, and we go further down the rabbit hole in trying to answer the question: should we be using mechanical metaphors when biological metaphors are more appropriate? Enjoy!
"Metaphors are how we make sense of the world." - Shaun Hotchkiss
In this week's episode we discuss the usage of metaphor in our world...we typically default to "mechanical" metaphors when referencing our organizations, but would we be better served by using an organic metaphor instead? This is the first in a series where we discuss changing the semantics of business to a biological frame of reference to reframe how we create organizational change. Enjoy!

Whether we like it or not there is the perception that agile practitioners look down at "waterfall" with derision...but should they? Are there benefits to traditional project management that we're ignorant of? What about the traits of a good project manager...do they translate into the agile world? Tune in this week for a panel discussion on "agile in the streets, waterfall in the sheets"...Enjoy!

Host Andy Cleff chats with Melissa Bogg about how throughout the pandemic and post-pandemic era, the world of work has experienced an awakening.
After extended periods of work from home, new levels of flexibility, and almost forced work-life integration, pre-existing workplace traditions are no longer palatable.
Whose job is it to change the status quo, to explore ways, new levels of flexibility, replacing all those pre-pandemic workplace traditions?

Getting Things Done in an Agile World.
"Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them."
David is the New York Times best-selling author of Getting Things Done - The Art of Stress-free Productivity. Since it was first published almost fifteen years ago, Getting Things Done has become an incredibly influential business book and one of the gotos for personal organization. GTD is now shorthand for a way of approaching professional and personal tasks and is used by individuals from CEOs to developers.
David discusses the origins of GTD, the journey upon the way, mistakes made and lessons learned. He touches on a range of research such as distributed cognition, the influence of the martial arts and experience of establishing one of the first truly holocratic companies.

WARNING: we get a little esoteric on this one :)
This episode was spawned from a conversation on our Discord...Is "agile" a cult? Or is it a religion? Have we deified ourselves or others? What's the difference? We convened a panel to try and unpack this topic and come to consensus....were we successful? Let us know!

During this special (belated) Valentine's Day episode Lyssa Adkins, Debbie Madden, Brad Stokes, Troy Lightfoot and Andy Cleff have a lively panel discussion on how they use their agile mindsets, those values, and beliefs - in their daily lives:
- With their partners
- Their children
- On Thanksgiving and Christmas
- But, alas not with their pets. (Would have given agility training for fido a whole new meaning!)
Nothing was off the table… well, maybe some things… they kept the episode SFW as they took Software Development out of the Manifesto...
And shared how they apply the guiding principles outside of the team room.

We inherently understand the iterative-based, small-chunks-of-work that is "agile"...how does that apply to the phase-gated, giant grant process that most non-profits have to navigate? To answer this question we brought in an expert; join us this week as we sit down with Diane Leonard, founder of Agile in Nonprofits to talk us through how they apply lean thinking to what they do. Enjoy!

Welcome to our first episode of 2022! In this week's discussion we sit down with a murderer's row of agile practitioners to discuss "The Great Resignation".

We've talked about many topics on this show, but we've never really went in on cybersecurity. So what better way to christen that topic than by sitting down with industry legend Ken Pyle. What ostensibly started out with the question "Is cloud secure?" devolved into a discussion around how Ken finds exploits, why being compromised is not an if but a when, and he answers "do we have any hope at all?"...Enjoy!

"It is time for an alternative to SAFe, LeSS, Holacracy, Management 3.0, the Spotify model, and matrix organizations. We need something that takes flexibility to a new level, and that embraces hybrid working as the new normal."

Hosts Andy Cleff and Jenny Tarwater, Enterprise Agile Coach at Agile Velocity, chat with Esther Derby about the myth of the annual performance review. They uncover how the ritual reinforces existing power structures and diminishes safety for teams.
They then explore ways to help people to be more successful in their roles. Things like regular feedback as a means to influence future behavior, and recognizing that performance is always a function of a person plus their environment.

Often our community speaks of the work Robert Greenleaf did over 50 years ago in hushed tones. Servant Leadership is something prevalent in most training classes, conference presentations, and blogs across the globe. Do we really know what it means, and understand all the challenges that prevent its ability to thrive?
Join AU board member Chris Murman, AU community members Jon Schneider and Stephen Kellogg as we debate what servant leadership is and is not, the environment needed for leaders to serve people they lead, and in the end decide: is this really a thing?

So many groups form. And so many groups fade. What distinguishes those groups that grow and flourish from those that fade and fail? Agile Uprising host Andy Cleff chats with Ted Rau, from Sociocracy for All, about using intentional processes to establish an inclusive group culture early on to grow and flourish without governance troubles getting in the way - while keeping all eyes on a shared purpose.

You can't trip and fall in Enterprise IT these days without someone mentioning the "C" word...and we're not talking about croissants. We've all heard the Inigo Montoya quote used all over the agile world, but nowhere is it more appropriate than in the cloud space....so to help people understand what "cloud" really means, we brought in the experts: Container Solutions CEO Jamie Dobson and CRO Pini Reznik! We discuss the central tenets of cloud computing, why it's not just a technology play but also a culture play, and we even touch on some European football. Cheers!

In the 2021 State of Agile Coaching Report, experienced coaches were twice as likely to be external to organizations. Meaning they were consultants versus hiring a full-time employee. It raised some interesting questions to explore about the state of the field and what the future of agile coaching was:
- What are the reasons why a coach would want to stay an FTE versus becoming a consultant?
- Are there varied benefits to having both internal coaches as well as external consultants working in your organization?
- What exactly are the differences in both?
- Did the pandemic and quarantine specifically impact the agile coaching profession?
- If I'm looking to become an agile coach, what are the various paths I could take in order to get there?

Vasco Duarte, Brad Stokes and James Gifford discuss how the Scrum Master role will change the world of work.
Scrum Masters are people who care about improving the world of work (they do that with their teams every day) and are committed to that mission. Unfortunately some reason, people feel “ashamed” of being called Scrum Master, and quickly change to Agile Coach in their title. However, they should be proud of their work as Scrum Masters! The three delve into the world of collaboration and creating cooperative, creative workplaces.
Vasco is organising an event for Scrum Masters (specifically for that role): http://scrummastersummit.org/, and with the goal to help Scrum Masters be proud of their role and actively contribute to improving the world of work.
Vasco recently wrote about the vision of the transformation he sees coming in the article named: "Scrum Masters are the future CEO’s”, and would like to have the opportunity to share this message, as well as promote the event to your audience. https://scrum-master-toolbox.org/2021/01/blog/scrum-masters-are-the-future-ceos-and-a-podcast-by-the-lean-enterprise-institute/

If organizations are to be successful at creating high-quality products they need the right kind of management commitment, organization-wide communication, safety, and transparency.
In short - they need more than “the right” framework, they need the right kind of attitude.

This week's episode is all FLOW, FLOW, FLOW! Andy Cleff and Jay Hrcsko are joined by fellow agile coach Jeff Pray to discuss two of the concepts he uses while coaching the concept of flow in the enterprise. His Flow Manifesto is a re-imagining of the Agile Manifesto but specific to the concept of flow, and his white-paper on Flow-based Leadership is how Jeff escapes teaching leaders and executives all the agile jargon by simply teaching them why "flow" is important to them. Enjoy!
The Flow Manifesto
Flow-based Leadership by Jeff Pray
We talk all the time about changing organizational structure...but we always end up with some sortof hierarchy. And what about "teams that don't change"...is that really agile? In this week's episode Jeff Anderson, author of Agile Organizational Design, sits down with hosts Ben AuYeung, Colleen Johnson, and Jay Hrcsko to discuss his book. And there's even a Lantern Corps reference!

WARNING: NSFW! Recorded deep in the J-curve of the coronavirus lockdown, the panel attempts to define the term "business value." We're not sure if it was the cabin fever, the alcohol, or something in the water, but we had a helluva time trying to define it. We're surprising everyone with a mid-week release as we think everyone can use a laugh right about now! Join inadvertent host Chris Murman with the panel of Andrew Leff, Colleen Johnson, Brad Stokes, and our "irregular-regular" Jonathan Schneider as they attempt to unpack this. Enjoy!
