Taking a short break in our busy schedules brought us together for a catch up in Bristol, where we discussed everything from karaoke singing to kanban training! We hope you enjoy the episode, and we hope to get back to a more frequent recording schedule!

Are you superstitious? Do you believe in ‘luck’? In this episode, Paul shares his excitement about an upcoming football match for his favourite team and whether his superstitions about the game are a good or bad thing. The conversation moves onto being “lucky” and how an agile approach could quickly proves or disprove a lucky occurrence. Enjoy!

Hello there! (In the style of Obi-Wan Kenobi!)
This next episode is a recording from our appearance at Product Tank Cardiff, where Geoff and Paul were invited to host a LIVE pubcast to field some questions from the product people in the crowd. The boys took on questions such as:
❓Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is moving forward as breakneck speed. What (if any) changes do you see for Agile?
❓Agile vs. Scaled Agile?
❓What trait in product managers do you see least yet value the most?
❓How should product teams deal with senior management over involving themselves in the roadmap?
As the event happened on Star Wars Day (4th May) this called for fancy dress and even a Star Wars themed pub quiz!!

Welcome to The Coach House!! Geoff and Paul recorded this episode after a few hours fishing and got onto the topic of team topologies. After Paul had been spending some time with a client looking to scale up scrum teams, his research led him to Team Topologies (Matthew Skelton & Manuel Pais) and a nice visualisation tool provided by Agile Stationery. In this episode, Geoff and Paul talk through and discuss the theory and the tools, and give their opinions on the benefits and drawbacks of the idea.
There is also a PUB QUIZ for you all to join in with, so get your pens and paper ready!

Recorded at The Bayshill, Cheltenham. After noticing some large murals in the car park outside and some cool "artwork" the theme quickly became evident as "Visualisation".
We discussed how powerful visualisation or graphical recording can be, how much easier it can be than many people think it will be and we even illustrated this point (see what we did there?) in some drawing challenges. Plus there's another competition to win some Pubcast goodies!

Strength is an interesting topic though, especially when it comes to agile…and leadership…
It’s often not about knowing the answer but having the strength to say “I don’t know”. It’s about having the strength to say “Let’s try some stuff”, being prepared to stand out of the crowd and go against the status quo…trust people.
Welcome to Episode 2 of the revamped format for the new year Geoff Watts and Paul Goddard get together in The Old George Inn, South Cerney to explore this topic. There's our regular features like landlord logic, pub quiz and some champagne moments to enjoy as well!

Tomorrow never comes, or so the saying goes. Sometimes, when we're in the midst of our daily lives, focusing on our future progress, we forget to stop and appreciate the present moment. Because of that, we tend not to make the best use of our time and opportunities.
So should we learn how to to live life right here and now?
In a revamped format for the new year Geoff Watts and Paul Goddard get together in The Black Horse to explore this topic. There's also a pub quiz and some champagne moments to enjoy as well as a terrible dad joke!
