860 Angela Johnson: Secrets of Scrum

Collaboration, Communication and Quick Pivots

What is the best way for a business to master cross-disciplinary collaboration with transparent communication that keeps everyone aligned, on track, and productive?

A methodology called Agile Scrum first emerged in the technology startup scene some 20 years ago, and since then it has expanded far beyond Silicon Valley to companies of all shapes and sizes. Problem is, it has also morphed into something often unrecognizable to the folks that know how best to make it work.

Scrum expert Angela Johnson says most companies get it wrong and fail to leverage the true power of Agile Scrum: Keeping everyone on track, aligned on goals, and able to easily course correct.

Angela is the founder of Collaborative Leadership Team, host of the podcast Ignite Agility, and author of the book The Scrum Master Files. She helps companies successfully implement Scrum and Agile to achieve their goals and objectives, as well as people to get certified as scrum masters.
