We explain why those thousand-item backlogs are a problem and, more importantly, how to build a story map to actually see what matters. Give it a watch: https://youtu.be/IiWDBxingks

🤔 Unpopular opinion: Your client shouldn't be your Product Owner
Clients bring essential domain expertise but lack the daily availability and tactical skills needed for effective Product Ownership.
Result? Delayed sprints, confused teams, frustrated stakeholders.
Solution? Structure roles properly so everyone focuses on their strengths.

🚀 Was bedeutet Agilität wirklich?
• Agilität ist kein Hype oder Buzzword – sie erfordert aktive Unterstützung und das Befähigen von Teams zur Selbstorganisation.
• Coaches sollten nicht nur passive Begleiter sein, sondern aktiv den Raum schaffen, in dem Teams eigenständig Lösungen entwickeln können.
„Ringelpiez mit Anfassen ist keine Agilität!“

There’s a fine line between constructively but firmly helping an industry improve, and trash-talking one aspect of said industry in order to aggressively promote your own training courses and book
No names, no pack drill, but it’s really not a good look if you get it wrong.
