    The Scrap Yard - Anti-Patterns - Guaranteed Project Failure

    In this episode of Agile Driven Impact, hosts Erich and Diane dive into the "anti-patterns" that when present in a team practically guarantee a slow, ineffective, and demoralizing team environment.

These situations can work there way into Agile teams with the best of intentions, so your job is to help keep an eye out for them, and then work as a team to address them. The episode challenges listeners to identify one anti-pattern in their team and apply the corresponding positive pillar to people, visualization, or coordination to fix it immediately.
