Meta-Cast

Our previous episode introduced the importance of storytelling in agile. Towards the end of the episode, we threw out the idea of returning to this topic with some examples and role-playing to help everyone understand how powerful storytelling can be for you and your teams. So here you go! Bob and Josh cover a handful of common scenarios and arm you with some tools to help you conquer these challenges.

In many industries, the concept of staying with a company for 30+ years and retiring doesn't exist anymore. Heck, many of the companies out there haven't even been around for 30 years. That means you're going to have to leave a company at some point. What's the best approach to that situation? Bob and Josh share their thoughts, but we'd love to hear yours. Let's discuss!
