As an aspiring Lean-Agile professional you will benefit from better understanding some of the Agile Coaching terms and common analogies used to describe the state of a certain situation. Today we'll talk about one of those - "The Knife is falling", or "Do not try and catch a falling knife"...

Agile Project Management professional area is full of misconceptions and myths, such as the infamous "Sprint Zero".

I'm here to tell you that there is no such thing, and that you should get your Agile Fundamentals and basic Scrum Knowledge straight first, before diving into made-up theories and Frankenstein derivatives of how to do things in Agile Delivery of End-User value...

On this episode I will quickly recap the foundation of Scrum Method and why there is NO Sprint Zero (or at least there should not be one).

Obsessing with Agile Collaboration Tools is not a good thing, when you should be focusing on learning fundamentals, taking your time to embrace and properly understand principles and values of Agile. Tools do things their own way and create an artifical frame around something that should be second nature to true Agile practitioners. Until you are in that mature Agile mindset, focusing on Tools too much would only detract from your professional progress towards your career goal and professional image.
