The Agile Coffee Podcast Vic Bonacci, CST

Summertime has gone, and the Agile Open SoCal is just around the corner. See announcement below.















In episode 79, Ben (@BenRodilitz) and I sat down for coffee and a chat about a topic that "dispirits" him lately: the bashing of Agile (specifically Scrum or SAFe) for being too prescriptive or not prescriptive enough.

It's summertime, the season of recent grads sending out their brand new resumes. I sat down with the team behind the Meta-Cast podcast, Josh Anderson (@nosrednAhsoJ) and Bob Galen (@bobgalen), to talk about this time-honored document as it relates to the Scrum master role. They shared some great perspectives and tips, some of which might change how you think about resumes.







After speaking, I combined takeaways from our conversation with a bunch of other research, interviews and data about the resume for Scrum masters and assembled it all on the Scrum master resume page.















Here are a few ways to get in touch with Bob and Josh:







* Bob's websites include rgalen.com and agile-moose.com* Bob is on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/bobgalen* Josh shares the best agile content at kazi.io* Listen to the Meta-Cast at meta-cast.com - they just posted their 200th episode!







Whether you're a job-seeker or not, this conversation is certain to keep you informed if not entertained.
