I may answer them in the next podcast. Also, Stay healthy and be safe.

Conflicts are those impediments that shape our society and culture. In this podcast I talk about a way to stay neutral in a conflict situation. Question asked: "As a Scrum Master, I often find myself in a dilemma, to resolve a conflict between two colleagues. In one of your Linked In posts, you mentioned why a Scrum master should be neutral in conversation. I completely agree with it. But no matter how hard I try, I often find myself siding with one person. I don’t know how it happens, and later I regret doing that too. I would love some advice, on how I can stay neutral and unbiased in a conflict situation."

In this podcast I talk about my process of getting started with a new Agile team. Question asked: "Hi Vibhor. I hope you're doing great in the year 2021. I have been following you for some time and think your podcast is a great way to get some advice on the challenges I usually face. Especially when starting with a new team. I am a Scrum Master in India. My next assignment is to help a waterfall team transition to Agile. Most of the team members on this project are new to Agile. I would appreciate any advice on assisting a team transition from scratch."

Friends, Here's Episode#1 of The Agile Playbook, podcast. Question asked: "Hi Vibhor. I have recently transitioned from being a Scrum Master to being an Agile Coach. I have a question that I struggled with since I was a Scrum Master. I have been part of many Agile Teams and have always had someone in my team who is difficult to coach no matter what I do. My question to you is, What can I do with the people on my team who can not be coached?" ************************

  📍 Do you ever get questions around Agile mindset or questions around tools and frameworks like Scrum or Kanban and the best practices?   Or do you ever feel that things shouldn't happen the way they are happening right now in your project or product environment, even though it is prescribed like that in the Scrum Guide or Agile Manifesto? I know I do. I get such questions in my mind all the time. Questions, that sound disruptive, that challenge the status quo, the norm that people around us sometimes seem to follow almost blindly. And I know you get such questions in your mind as well.  Every day, my LinkedIn inbox gets tens, if not hundreds of such questions about Agile, Scrum, and Coaching in general. And I'm pleased to announce that today I am starting a podcast called "The Agile Playbook" to answer all such questions.  Every week on the Agile Playbook I will answer questions on Agile Scrum, Kanban Coaching, and even Strategy from folks, just like you.  You can send me your question via LinkedIn message, or you can send me your question as a voice message by commenting on this podcast at anchor.fm/vibhorchandel and I'll be happy to answer your questions in my future podcasts.  Unlike other podcasts where two people talk for hours, leaving us wondering what value we are getting? In the Agile Playbook, I will answer your questions in a simple language and in a concise, actionable manner that you can apply to your own Agile implementation to improve Scrum or Kanban or whatever other Agile approach that you're using.  My friend, Paul will be helping me on this journey. I'll be reading your questions.   Thank you, Paul. You are a great help.  Don't mention it Vibhor. I'm happy to help.  So if you have any Agile question bubbling in your mind, send it my way and I'll make sure that you get an answer. Until the first episode of the Agile Playbook, Stay Healthy and Be Safe.
