  • Excellent practical discussions

    I’ve listened to many of these podcasts and it’s great to hear people talk who have “suffered in the trenches” and really understand the practical day to day challenges with being an “Agilist”. The podcasts are a goldmine of useful information and I’d highly recommend it.

  • A Must-Listen for Aspiring Agile Practitioners

    I love this podcast. You leave each podcast with great advice, insights, stories, and deeper understanding of Agile / Scrum topics. I love hearing how Agile is being applied and adapted in non-software applications like marketing and marketing fixation. Great stuff!
