Times are weird in the land of Agile. More and more big companies are letting go of the people they\u2019ve brought on to help them adopt agile practices, or replacing their Scrum Masters with Technical Program Managers, or creating a homegrown version of Agile by taking an established framework and bailing on the practices they don\u2019t like. Is this just business accepting that what they\u2019ve been trying to do for the past 10+ years was just too hard, have they achieved a level of agility that they are happy with, or have they decided to place different bets on what it will take to carry them into the future?\n\nIn this episode of the podcast, Jesse Fewell joins me to explore different ideas about what is happening, why it is happening, and what this means for people who\u2019ve spent years trying to establish a career in agile. \xa0The conversation came about as a result of a post Jesse made on LinkedIn. He\u2019s doing research on the topic and I asked him to join me to talk through some of the ideas. If you have stories to share, he\u2019d love to hear from you. You can find his original LinkedIn post here: https://bit.ly/3EjRUf9\n\nTowards the end of the podcast we also discuss a question that came up in one of my CSM/CSPO Lean Coffees: If you are hired as a Scrum Master into a mostly waterfall organization that still has traditional project managers, and the engineers are trying to treat you like a secretary, how do you establish your role and the value you can provide?\n\nContacting Jesse\nUntapped Agility on Amazon: https://bit.ly/3PnjPBr\nUntapped Agility Website: https://untappedagility.com/\nJesse\u2019s Site: https://jessefewell.com\nJesse\u2019s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JesseFewell\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessefewell/\nEmail: jesse@fewellinnovation.com
