Food for Agile Thought #194: #NoFrameworks, Scrum Team Counseling, PM Servant Leadership, As a User…

?? I help Product Owners, Product Managers, Scrum Masters & Agile Coaches Grow w/ Classes, Courses, Books & Community. ?? Author of the ”Scrum Anti-Patterns Guide;” ??Trainer at Scrum.org; ?? Book a 1-on-1; talk chances!
Food for Agile Thought’s issue #194 takes a look at # NoFrameworks; we apply couple counseling techniques to conflicts in Scrum Teams, and acknowledge that our Sprint board is not a Kanban system.
We also learn from Ocado’s portfolio wall how to improve product development; we analyze why the standard user story template has proven so popular, and we brush up our understanding of servant leadership in product management.
Lastly, we enjoy Phil Plait’s video on how science works — replace ‘science’ with ‘product,’ and you get a handy introduction into contemporary product development approaches for the skeptics in your organization.
Did you miss last week’s Food for Agile Thought’s issue #193?
