    Leaders are Accountable Too

    If taking accountability scares you, you’re doing it wrong! In this episode of Troubleshooting Agile, Squirrel and Jeffrey talk about the background of the final chapter of their book, Agile Conversations, including Jeffrey’s “Aha” moment watching a Kent Beck speech, why the idea of accountability teaches us to lie as kids, and what really happens when we ditch the fear and hold ourselves to account.

    Beginner's Mind on the Ski Slope

    Being good at something doesn’t make you good at teaching it!

    Learning You're Wrong on the Ski Slope

    If something feels hard, you might not be the problem, it might be your tools. On this episode of Troubleshooting Agile, Jeffrey shares a skiing mishap, which had him believing he forgot how to ski - until he looked at his feet! Tune in for our thoughts on using the right tools for the right problems, checking assumptions, and the benefits of external perspectives.

  8. Fixing a Mistake with Immediate Feedback

    Fixing a Mistake with Immediate Feedback

    One time on the podcast, we released the wrong episode - twice! But listener feedback meant we could correct it quickly - and it got us asking, do you know what users think of your software as soon as it’s done? On this re-run episode, which shares the theme of a recent episode, Gliding to Success [see below], Squirrel and Jeffrey show you how daily feedback IS possible and why we’d strongly recommend it.
