In the first commentary episode of chapter 4, we are lucky to have "post transformation dude" Joe Auslander in the studio to share his great perspectives from his work which he describes as 'physical therapy of the delivery world and organizational transformation'.

We talk about how to avoid getting lost in trying to fix 'people problems', how holding people accountable is not about staring at them with a mean face, and the actual value of whiteboards compared to virtual tools. We discuss "backlog literacy", the idea that backlog management is not just about planning your work, but about communicating, and the ability to tell a story through your work, listen and interact based on this. Listen to learn more about what kind of environment can promote self-organizing teams, and whether there really is such a thing as dysfunction.
