Community Highlights and more

As the community grows, the awesomeness inclines as well. We are incredibly proud of our community, and we want to show appreciation to what is happening.

Season 7 of the podcast is starting April 2nd. The entire season is filled with an incredible line up, so keep an eye out for the latest episodes. Besides the format you are used to, we started recording episodes at the ScanAgile25 conference, and will dedicate bi-weekly episodes to bring the speakers we talked to, to you. Why bi-weekly, and not just a single publication of ScanAgile recordings? So you will hear Jim Sammons ' beautiful voice too, and not just Sander Dur . We're looking forward to more live recordings!

Season 7 marks a confirmation in our growing audience and ambition. We proudly present this season's sponsors: wiserBees , Xebia , and ScrumMatch .

Yamini Hundare sheds light on Breaking Barriers by Identifying and Resolving Communication Challenges.
