Does your team have a sustainable pace? Sometimes teams let quality slip and suffer from that, but some other times, missing a sustainable pace can lead to much more serious consequences. Jan shares his own story, of how not focusing on what he needed to keep a sustainable pace, almost led to missing a critical health diagnosis that thankfully saved his life. In this segment, we talk about both the individual sustainable pace, as well as the team’s sustainable pace. 

In The People's Scrum: Agile Ideas for Revolutionary Transformation by Tobias Meyer, Jan found a book that had different views on what Scrum is about. He recommends this book as a great and inspiring text for experienced Scrum Masters.  

How can Angela (the Agile Coach) quickly build healthy relationships with the teams she’s supposed to help? What were the steps she followed to help the Breeze App team fight off the competition? Find out how Angela helped Naomi and the team go from “behind” to being ahead of Intuition Bank, by focusing on the people! Download the first 4 chapters of the BOOK for FREE while it is in Beta!
