I have been toying with the idea of sitting my Certified Team Coach for a while. It seems to be the next logical step in my journey from Scrum Master to Coach and I have been building up an array of great coaching techniques and tools over the past 2 years. It would be greatContinue reading “Path to CTC”

Scrum from Hell revisited.
Today was a flashback kind of day. I was part of a Scrum Master training day and one of the games the group played was “Scrum from Hell”. It took me back to 2009 when I wrote one of my first Blog Posts about a game I played with one of my teams. The blog post remainsContinue reading “Scrum from Hell revisited.”
Distributed Scrum Teams
I was looking for inspiration for my next blog post when I found a notification telling me that I had an article sitting in my drafts section. Distributed Scrum Teams was the title and it took me back to 4 years previous when this topic came into my head. I was going to tell you aboutContinue reading “Distributed Scrum Teams”
Blogging and I.
I have been maintaining my blog for a while, quite loosely as you will see. I often found myself having great ideas to post but when I sit down to actually write a blog post, they never seem to fit together well and ultimately they don’t get written. I really need to practice what IContinue reading “Blogging and I.”
Sign up to save a life.
A bit of a different topic for my first blog post in a long while! As I sit chilling out I am reminded of the significance of today’s date.

A great resource for me was “Pacific Express” by Alex Yakyma. It is a Semi-Fictional take on how Alex brought SAFe, specifically the AgileContinue reading “Play it SAFe”

I decided to post this for anyone looking whoContinue reading “The Scrum Guide”
Distributed teams and Online Scrum Walls
There has been widespread debate around physical Scrum Walls vs digital Scrum Walls for teams for some time now. I know that this totally depends on the situation of your teams as to which method you choose. Personally, having used both physical and digital walls I feel at home using both. Each has their benefitsContinue reading “Distributed teams and Online Scrum Walls”
Demonstrating Acceptance Criteria
I have found myself reading a lot of Agile books over the years. I aim to take 2 or 3 pointers, minimum, away from each book to help challenge the way that our teams work with a view to making improvements. I have found that this has taken me a little time, often rereading chaptersContinue reading “Demonstrating Acceptance Criteria”

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog! It has been just over 6 years since I have last used this blog. I have given it a fresh lick of paint by moving to a wordpress setup which should make it easier for me to update. In doing this I have imported all of my oldContinue reading “Blog update!”
