Scrum Slaves & Agile Borgs — Food For Thought #47 is out

Hello from Berlin!

Food for Thought of June 26th, 2016 starts with a rant on Scrum masters being perceived as team secretaries, how to make people join the daily stand-ups joyfully, and preserve estimation accuracy over time. And still, when we talk about agile adoption the Borg way, resistance is futile.

We dive deep into scaling lean product management with Ash Maurya, understand the importance of not falling for pleasing only your best customers, and analyze the long-term product strategy of Mr Musk.

Last, but not least, we enjoy Wally toying with the pointy-haired boss, and learn about Google’s epic undertaking of turning itself into “machine learning first” company.

Have a great Sunday!
