Pigs and Chickens Agile Podcast: Recent Episodes
Woven Energy
Pigs and Chickens is all about the world of Agile from the perspective of two jaded old product owners. In particular, we talk about all the stuff that they normally leave out of Agile training, especially organisational and team culture.
The things that make teams productive are rarely the things that people do to make teams productive. The combined effect of differences in outlook, culture, approach, habits and all types of diversity is universally more effective than the attitude that hires people who "fit in". In this episode we look at some of the positive aspects and effects of diversity that rarely get discussed or acted upon.
Why does Agile rely so heavily on ownership? What does ownership actually mean? In this episode we explore the relationship between good agile leadership and ownership.
What is the Rain Dance? Where did it come from? Why is it so damaging to agile working? Why do so many people believe in it despite all the evidence that it is ineffective? All this and more in episode 2 of the Pigs and Chickens Podcast on Agile.
Welcome to the brand new Pigs and Chickens Podcast on Agile. We kick off the first episode looking at the Agile Manifesto, and how organisations typically ignore "individuals and interactions" and obsess over "processes and tools" when they first try to become agile.
