Planton, Founder and CEO of bmpconsulting, a certified Grant Professional, and a Registered Scrum Master and Product Owner. Bethany shares her unique perspective on why team happiness is a leading indicator of success rather than a "soft metric." We dive into the relationship between team happiness and stress, discussing how leaders can move beyond traditional surveys to use well-being data as a serious performance management strategy. Bethany also offers practical, lightweight approaches to measure team health, foster psychological safety, and turn data into meaningful action to prevent burnout and improve team dynamics in mission-driven environments.

    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.
