On this Getting to Next Level episode of out Tuesday programming here on the #5amMesterScrum…
Join A Team to Learn a Lot or Little? Depending on what you are looking for in a position or a new team or even an existing team. My tendency to find a team I can learn a lot vs. a little. A good scrum team allows their teammates to dabble in a little bit of everything as it is a win-win option.

On today's program 4R Thursday (Requirements, Reviews, Retros and Roles) on the…
What is your Career or Business Next Level Mindset? I was chatting with a connection the other day and they were in the same position for the past 3 years. It made me realize how many people or businesses have not shifted into a Next Level Mindset.

I greased the future actions so they might go over smoother. Now this scenario does not happen all the time but does every so often especially when the retrospective actions involve people outside of the core team. There are…

Today for one of my team I coach they were altogether in a room for their daily scrum or standup. It was a great sight to be seen as I think it may have been a first.
