This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

S1 E039: Mastering Your Backlog Refinement 15:29

לפני 3 ימים15:29

15:29

What do you think about today's podcast? In this episode of the Agile Matrix Podcast, host Temi dives into the often misunderstood yet crucial aspect of Agile methodology: backlog refinement. The discussion covers the definition of backlog refinement, its importance in preparing for sprints, common myths surrounding the process, and pitfalls to avoid. Temi emphasizes the collaborative nature of backlog refinement, the need for clarity over excessive detail, and the importance of team engagement. The episode concludes with actionable tips for improving backlog refinement sessions to enhance overall team performance and sprint planning. Takeaways Backlog refinement is an ongoing process involving the entire Scrum team. It helps in breaking down large user stories into smaller, actionable items. Refinement sessions should focus on clarity and readiness for sprint planning. Myth: Backlog refinement is only for the product owner; it's a team effort. Myth: Refinement means fully detailing every requirement; it should allow for adaptability. A well-run refinement session is collaborative, time-boxed, and focused on readiness. Avoid treating backlog refinement as a second sprint planning meeting. Refine just enough stories for the next sprint to avoid wasted effort. Encourage active participation from all team members during refinement. Define clear acceptance criteria to prevent confusion and scope creep. Get ready for the Kanban Edge on March 6, 2025.

What do you think about today's podcast? In this episode, Mike and Temi dive into the challenges and misconceptions surrounding the role of a Scrum Master in Agile environments. They discuss the importance of delivering measurable improvements and aligning with an organisation’s definition of value. The conversation also highlights the decline in the quality of Agile practitioners and the need for a higher standard. Mike introduces dysfunction mapping as a problem-solving tool, and both guests emphasise the importance of adaptation, discipline, and continuous learning in Agile. The episode wraps up with insights into competition, experimentation, and the importance of admitting failure for growth. Takeaways Scrum Masters should focus on delivering measurable improvements and demonstrating their value. Understanding the organisation's definition of value and aligning with it is crucial. The perception of Agile has shifted, and there are challenges in implementing Agile practices in organisations. Understanding the rules and building discipline is important before attempting to modify or break them in an agile context. Dysfunction mapping is a tool for problem-solving and systems thinking, allowing teams to identify root causes of issues and run experiments to find solutions. The agile industry needs more tools and approaches to solve complex problems and improve ways of working. Continuous learning and improvement are essential in the agile industry. Competition and experimentation are crucial for the growth and improvement of the agile industry. Admitting failure is essential for learning and growth. Agile practitioners should strive for a higher standard and focus on demonstrating value and impact.
