What exactly is Product Ownership? Product Ownership requires a distinct set of capabilities and skills: https://bit.ly/49wlqMJ Please note that we are describing Product Ownership here, meaning it does not tie into any specific person, role, function or accountability. This illustrates what needs to be done from the Product Ownership perspective when developing products. #Scrum #ProductOwner #Agile

⏰ Friendly Reminder - Click below to register TODAY! ⏰ THIS IS AN ONLINE WEBINAR ONLY What's a better model - work from anywhere or force a return to office? Many CEO's are struggling with these choices and so am I. In this Meetup, I will share how I failed to live up to my principles and values as the CEO of a work from anywhere Agile organization, and how our Chief People Officer - Monika Singh is helping me learn from my mistakes and adapt. Here are some questions Monika will help us explore... 💻 What questions should a CEO consider when deciding the type of organization they want to lead - work from office, work from anywhere or hybrid? 💻 What role does trust play in building a work from anywhere organization? 💻 How should a CEO think about trust? 💻 How might a CEO support a sense of belonging in globally distributed, multi-cultural, work from anywhere teams? 💻 How might a CEO enable a team culture in such an environment 💻 How might a CEO help teams develop muscles to solve their own problem and evolve into high-performing, self-managing Agile teams 💻 Where can attendees learn more? #webinar #webinarevent #webinaralart #leadership #csuite #agile Ravi Verma (PST, CPCC, CRP)

👉 Are you tired of your Scrum Teams getting paralyzed by destructive conflicts? 👉 Is each team member convinced that their way is the only way, the best way, and that everybody else who dares to disagree is crazy? 👉 What if your team could harness every conflict to reveal new possibilities the team can align around? Our Chief Org Whisperer, Ravi Verma (PST, CPCC, CRP), teaches us how to shift the dynamic from an "us vs. them" adversarial conflict to an "us vs. the challenge" partnership in this video: https://lnkd.in/gp4A2xg3 #agileleadership #agiletransformation #agilecoach #scrumteam #scrummaster

Have you been tasked with finding the PERFECT #agilecoach or #scrummaster for your #company? Here are a few questions you should ask YOURSELF and YOUR TEAM prior to the interview: ❓ Who do you serve? ❓ What do you want for them? ❓ Where are you now? ❓ What are your patterns and habits? ❓ What are your expectations? ❓ What else must be said? To dive deeper into this subject, click the video below to hear a short presentation by our Chief Org Whisperer Ravi Verma (PST, CPCC, CRP)!
