This is Scrum training I recorded in 2018 for the teams and students I coached then. If you’re here to learn how Scrum works, the core mechanics still hold. My current work, on how AI is exposing the leadership paradigms this training assumed, is on the blog and in Come Prepared to Die.
3rd-Party Agile Videos: The Backwards Brain Bicycle
Destin Sandlin is an aerospace and mechanical engineer from Alabama and the creator of Smarter Every Day, a YouTube channel with over 2 million subscribers and 125 million views.
His video about a “backwards bicycle” does a wonderful job of illustrating why learning a new skill is difficult, particularly if we have a similar and “competing” skill already developed. I think this is relevant for new Agilists who are trying to learn a new way of working while simultaneously unlearning how they worked before. As coaches, I think we owe it to the people we work with to appreciate how challenging it can be to shift our perspectives.
