Episode 1 of 5 in our series on the Scrum Values: Why Courage is so important in an Agile environment with Blake McMillan, Pro Scrum Trainer at Improving

With this episode, we begin a 5-part series on the Scrum values. Our guest Blake McMillan, PST, helps us discover why courage is needed in all aspects of Agile. From the team, to the business, we must have this behavior to be successful. We also learn how closely courage ties to openness, and respect, which we will discuss in two following episodes. So, come along with us on this deep-dive into the Scrum value of courage.Enjoying the Podcast? Please consider supporting us so we can continue to help you BE more Agile by visiting our page below.

Om Podcasten

Agile is difficult. Some of the processes (e.g., Scrum, XP, Kanban, etc.) may seem simple, at first. Most of us can understand, and even get quite good at the process of Agile (DOING Agile). But what about BEING Agile? This is the other side of Agile, which is likely even more difficult to master. In each episode, we'll dive deep into how to BE Agile (through behavior modification, and mindset shifts). We'll help you improve through conversations and shared stories with those currently in the Agile space from a wide array of industries. If you are in an Agile environment, or want to be, you'll need to understand this other side of agile in order to be successful. If you are simply following a process, you are not truly being Agile. You are going through the motions.  It takes time. Sometimes lots of it! But you'll get there. And we'll be here supporting you all the way.Vision statement: Providing agile insights into human values and behaviors through genuine connections.
