Product owners are obsolete!
In this month's episode of Agile Actually, we picked up some whispers on the #agile winds about #productmanagement being obsolete. The idea that if you have a strong #productowner in #scrum, there is no need for a #productmanager at all. To explore this concept, we invited Ralph Jocham - a #productmanager and #productowner expert - to talk about the differences between product ownership and product management and whether these whispers held any truth. #productmanager #productmanagement #productdevelopment #productowner #productownership #product About the hosts of Agile Actually Simon Reindl is the chief #agilecoach, #agileconsultant and #professionalscrumtrainer at Advanced Product Delivery.

Life coaches masquerading as Agile Coaches
In this month's edition of #agileactually, Simon Reindl and Martin Hinshelwood explore the latest trend in #agile for a life coach to present themselves as an #agilecoach to organizations. In most cases, an #agilecoach or #agilecosultant will have years of experience as an #agilepractitioner, actively working in an #agileteam, followed by certification and practise as an #agilecoach leading multiple #agileteams in multiple applications. That's why it's controversial that someone with very little #professionalcoaching skills and #agile knowledge would present themselves to organizations as an #agilecoach. Good? Bad? Or just plain ugly? Find out in this month's Agile Actually Podcast.
