Curious how many people actually hit 35

If you can’t hit 35 correct, you’re not ready. Most people can’t. 👉 cloudtrivia.fearlessagility.ai #Scrum #Agile #ScrumMaster #AgileCoach #RealityWins

Someone already tried velocity vs value and got wrecked

I trained an AI to answer Scrum questions like I do. Try to break it. If it fails, I’ll fix it. 👉 ninja.fearlessagility.ai

Most teams I see are actually running status meetings. 👎

“Daily Standup isn’t Scrum.” Disagree with me. Or better hash it out with my new Fearless Ninja AI Assitant: 👉 ninja.fearlessagility.ai #Scrum #Agile #ScrumMaster #AgileCoach #RealityWins

Most “Agile AI” will give you textbook answers. This one will call your team out. The cloud dojo is live. The Fearless Ninja AI Assistant is trained on how we actually practice Scrum in the real world — not how it’s supposed to look in a certification guide. Ask it: Why your Daily Scrum turned into a status meeting Why your backlog is lying to you Why burndowns make leadership feel safe while hiding the truth This isn’t Agile Make-Believe. This is Reality Wins AI. 👉 Try it: ninja.fearlessagility.ai If it gives you a better answer than your last retro… we should talk. This is fully platform independent. If you have (or want) the iOS app you can download it from the link above. #Scrum #Agile #AgileCoach #ScrumMaster #ProductManagement #RealityWins #FearlessAgility

That “you get annoyed because you love them more” take? Not backed by neuroscience. What's actually happening is your brain goes into threat mode: patience drops, negativity spikes, and connection suffers. That’s not love. That’s low-grade emotional dysregulation. AND there are ways to train it not to do that.

So this happened...

Kat and I are headed to new digs… So are the ninjas. We’re moving back to Wisconsin AND moving Fearless to a new web stack built for what’s next: → Full AI inside the app → Real-time learning → No lag between question and insight → The Full Fearless Ninja LLM → "Flex App" for our friends not in the Appleverse Same mission. Bigger dojo. Reality wins. Always. #FearlessAgility #ProductEvolution #StartupLife #AI #Scrum #RealityWins Brand New Ride (Remix by DJCX)

Here's the longer treatment on the subject I posted on LinkedIn... People in my CAF today wanted a crash course on Agile v Scrum v "Jira Agile" (both the tool and the weird frAgile process it drives). So here goes (why do I have to keep explaining this "Agile Coaches‽”) Agile is the philosophy—captured in the Agile Manifesto—that prioritizes adaptability, collaboration, and delivering real value over rigid plans. Scrum is a specific framework within Agile, defined by clear roles, events, and artifacts (as outlined in the Scrum Guide), used to apply those principles in a structured, empirical way. “Jira Agile,” despite the name, isn’t Agile or Scrum—it’s just a tool from Atlassian that teams use to track work; it can support SOME Agile practices, (it works okay for Kanban but SUCKS for backlogs) AND it can just as easily reinforce bad habits if people confuse the tool with the mindset or the framework. Basic Agile & Scrum terms (the stuff that actually matters): • 4 Agile Values → People first... Process second, working product, customer collaboration, responding to change & 12 Principles (12 of them! …on page 2... nobody knows them) • Roles (aka "Accountabilities") → Product Owner, Scrum Master, 6-8 other team members with all the skills and abilities necessary to build a real useable thing • Events (used to be called meetings; weirdoes call them "ceremonies" like it's a f#*king cult)→ Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective • Artifacts → Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Increment • Commitments → Product Goal, Sprint Goal, Definition of Done Shit taken out of context from XP... • "Stories" written ABOUT users (= pointless) instead of BY users (🔥 IF you can get them on your team) • Story points as a performance metric instead of a subjective opinion of relative difficulty between items on our list • Velocity as a target or performance metric instead of a lightweight release planning tool "Velocity Based Sprint Planning" described in a few books written 20(ish) years ago in a very different world AND later disavowed by most of us who tried for years to make it work (if you want to argue in the comments you better start by telling me when the last time you used all that with a team to deliver useable value in 2 weeks was) Other Common “Jira Agile” bullshit (tool ≠ framework): • Status columns as a proxy for progress (“we moved the ticket!”) • Over-engineered workflows and approval gates • Treating tickets as requirements instead of value bets (Scrum calls these PBis) • Burndown obsession without talking to real users; FTR burndowns were removed from the Scrum framework a LONG time ago by ANYONE not dumber than a box of hair • Measuring output (tickets closed) instead of outcomes (value delivered) You're welcome. Can we all just get over it and move on to more useful conversations?

Agile didn’t fail. We replaced it with tools, tickets, and theater. Agile = mindset Scrum = how you actually work Jira = just a tool If your “Agile” lives in dashboards… you’re not being Agile—you’re managing optics. 👉 Build something real. Then improve it. #Agile #Scrum #ProductDevelopment #TechLeadership #AgileCoaching #ScrumMaster #BuildInPublic #RealityWins
