  • Need more diverse scrum master experiences

    It would be advantageous to have Scrum Masters with experience across various domains, such as banking, pharmacy, and other sectors where software development is prevalent. This diversity would bring a versatile range of working styles and practices to our software development processes, enhancing our overall effectiveness and adaptability as Scrum Masters.

  • The podcast feels like a company trying to promote itself instead of being an entertaining and educational resource. Although this is in English the host and many of the guests have a thick accent that takes away from the show. I would skip this one, there are many other better casts out there.
