The Delivery Manager Daily ·

In this episode, I talk about change. Most projects are complex, and often in need of occasional re-alignment.

Lets get ready to Scrumble

The Delivery Manager Daily ·

2022/04/05

In this episode I talk about the Scrumble. If you use Nexus, buried deep within the Scrum user guide & in Ken Schwabers blog post form 2015 which is an interesting read in it's own right, the Scrumble is a way of pausing delivery in your project, when things are going wrong. Is it just a retro? Does it truly handle problems in projects or is it just a holiday for the Scrum teams? Let's find out. As always, thanks for listening, join in the conversation on Twitter @dm_daily - thanks for listening

Leveraging video in your day to day comms

The Delivery Manager Daily ·

2022/02/25

In this episode I wanted to talk about using video to make you a better communicator. How many times have you bashed out an email wishing you could recall it, or the sentiment was not right? How many times have you had to follow up with twenty emails to cover a nuance or detail in your project update? Do you find yourself saying the same thing, time & time again? Why not use video? In this episode I talk about how to do it and the practicalities of doing it. Want first access to episodes & content

Episode 10 - Nexus, scaling Scrum

The Delivery Manager Daily ·

2021/06/29

A little 2-4 part segment on my foray into Nexus SPS certification. It'll help my team who I'm also keen to get them through it, & expand our capability BUT also as a little cheat sheet as I work my way through the material. I've been doing a bit of Nexus organically anyway as I scale some of my projects, I've found myself very much the NIT all by myself & doing the role without realising.

The Delivery Manager Daily ·

2021/06/02

In this episode I just wanted to touch on a common theme throughout my podcast series in Agile not being the thing you think it is. For me, Agile is common sense, a buffet of tactics & tools I can pick from to introduce slowly into a clients organisation. I don't 'ram it in'. No one likes that.
