The Everyday Agile Podcast

What does a fractional CTO actually do, and how is it different from being a contractor?In this episode of the Everyday Agile Podcast, Jac sits down with Rob Fawcett to discuss AI strategy, AI compliance, technology leadership, product development, software delivery, and what it really takes to create value from technology.Rob shares his journey from project manager and operations leader to CTO, why he chose the fractional CTO model, and why he believes businesses increasingly need experienced technology leadership without necessarily needing a full-time CTO.We also get into the reality of AI adoption.The AI hype may be settling down, but organisations now face a different problem: how do they actually govern, manage and embed AI into their businesses?Rob explains how he turned an AI compliance framework into a SaaS product, why AI needs to be connected to real applications, and why technology should always be designed around the people who use it.And that's where the conversation moves into product and Agile.What's the difference between shipping software and creating value?Why should developers understand the people they're building for?Why do so many organisations spend thousands on values, principles and transformation programmes but struggle to speak to their actual customers?And why does Rob believe you should take the technology to the people rather than make the people adapt to the technology?We also talk about:• Fractional CTO vs contracting• AI strategy and AI governance• AI compliance• Building AI into products• SaaS product development• Product teams and customer empathy• Software delivery and creating value• Leadership lessons from good and bad bosses• Communicating strategy effectively• Digital transformation• User research and product discovery• Technology leadership• Keeping technology simple• Connecting strategy, outcomes and outputs• The difference between shipping and valueRob also shares two brilliant real-world examples: developing blood-tracking software where usability could literally become a matter of life and death, and a cruise company sending its team onto a ship to watch real customers use its app.▶︎Connect With Rob https://www.linkedin.com/in/rfawcett/https://thehumancto.co.ukhttps://www.quantisys.co.uk/https://aicompliance.uk/▶︎Tickets for Not Another Agile Conference (22 April 2027, Chester Zoo) are on sale.https://www.tickettailor.com/events/notanotheragileconference/2178867..▶︎Our Newsletter:https://substack.com/@betweenthestandups⏱️ Chapters00:00 Meet Rob Fawcett03:22 From Contractor to Business Owner04:43 Fractional CTO vs Contractor05:49 What Does a Fractional CTO Actually Do?07:22 How to Become a CTO09:11 AI Strategy & AI Compliance10:35 Building AI Into Real Products12:31 Turning AI Compliance Into SaaS16:07 The AI Hype Is Over16:52 Lessons From Bad Leaders21:32 The Real Problem Behind Poor Communication29:21 Shipping Software vs Creating Value30:34 Why Product Teams Need Customer Empathy31:23 What Makes a Great Software Developer?34:59 The Blood Tracking Software Story36:42 Stop Making Humans Adapt to Technology37:12 What Product Teams Can Learn From Cruise Passengers38:03 Why Companies Overcomplicate Everything44:04 Rob's Quickfire Business Takes44:19 The Most Overused Business Phrase44:35 Take Technology to the People46:40 The One Thing Every Team Should Know47:18 Connecting Strategy, Outcomes, Outputs & Problems48:14 Where to Find RobIf you work in technology, product, Agile, project management, software delivery, digital transformation or technology leadership, this conversation is for you.

What happens when Agile scales?According to Agile transformation consultant Martin Schellert, the answer shouldn't be to simply add more process, more frameworks and more bureaucracy.In this episode of the Everyday Agile Podcast, Martin joins us to talk about what happens when Agile transformations go wrong ,and why organisations often lose the things that made Agile teams effective in the first place.We get into some big Agile and product management questions:• Why does scaling Agile often mean scaling process?• Why is comparing team velocity between teams such a bad idea?• Do teams actually need story points or estimation?• What is an MVP really supposed to achieve?• How should leaders create genuine ownership in product teams?• What is "decision distance" and why does Martin call it a silent killer of agility?• Can you build Agile teams inside a traditional organisation?• How can you use AI without losing your own voice?• Why is so much LinkedIn content starting to sound exactly the same?• What is the most overlooked principle in the Agile Manifesto?• Why should Agile practitioners be pragmatic rather than dogmatic?Martin also shares how he got into Agile, how he prepares conference talks, how he uses AI as part of his workflow, and what he has learned from speaking at Agile conferences.One of the biggest themes throughout the conversation is simple. Agile isn't about following a framework perfectly.It's about finding the practices that work for your team, organisation, customers, culture and context.As Martin puts it: be pragmatic, never dogmatic.If you're interested in Agile transformation, product management, software delivery, Agile leadership, team performance, project management or better ways of working, there's plenty here to disagree with, steal and take back to your organisation.▶︎ Connect with Martinhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/schellert/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtf8TKCQfB3siec1cDB1Log▶︎Tickets for Not Another Agile Conference (22 April 2027, Chester Zoo) are on sale.https://www.tickettailor.com/events/notanotheragileconference/2178867▶︎Our Newsletter:https://substack.com/@betweenthestandups⏱️ Chapters00:00 Intro01:14 How Martin Got Into Agile Conferences02:22 Scaling Agile Without Scaling Process03:20 Creating Conference Talks Using AI05:12 How to Practice for a Conference Talk06:19 Does Speaking Generate Business?08:18 Martin's Journey Into Agile10:27 Why Agile Still Matters11:22 Do We Rely Too Much on the Agile Manifesto?13:18 Why Agile Should Evolve14:31 Finding the Root Cause of Agile Problems15:39 What Agile Problems Do Organisations Really Have?17:48 Why Comparing Team Velocity Is a Bad Idea18:40 Should Teams Stop Using Story Points?19:23 A Better Alternative to Story Points20:04 What an MVP Actually Means20:40 What Makes a Good MVP?21:37 Leadership and Agile Teams22:36 Building Agile Islands23:20 Creating Team Ownership24:24 When Empowerment Becomes a Poison Chalice25:12 Decision Distance: The Silent Killer of Agility26:12 What Agile Advice Doesn't Work?26:18 Is AI Killing Authenticity on LinkedIn?28:17 Using AI Without Losing Your Voice29:30 Stop Turning Everything Into a LinkedIn Business Lesson32:14 You Don't Have to Post 3 Times a Week33:08 ADHD, Business & Burnout34:48 Practical Productivity Strategies36:20 The Quickfire Agile Round37:28 What Should Every Team Stop Doing?37:41 Get Closer to Your Customers37:52 The Most Overlooked Agile Principle38:35 What Gives Martin Hope for Agile?39:05 Why Agile Certification Isn't Enough40:16 Why Organisations Still Need Agile40:48 Be Pragmatic, Never DogmaticSubscribe to Everyday Agile for conversations about Agile, product management, project management, software delivery, leadership, organisational change and the reality of making Agile work in the real world.

AI won't necessarily replace project managers, but it could completely change what the job looks like.In this episode of the Everyday Agile Podcast, I sit down with Michael Gold to talk about AI, project management, Agile, vibe coding, product development and the future of professional services.Michael has built an AI-native Professional Services Automation (PSA) platform, Aria, using a combination of AI, vibe coding, Lovable and traditional software development.We get into the reality behind building an AI product, including what vibe coding can and can't do, why building a B2B product is different, how software engineers reacted to the code, and why human design and engineering expertise still matter.We also explore what AI means for project managers and delivery professionals.If AI can automate project plans, status reports, risk identification and other administrative work, what should project managers actually spend their time doing?Michael's answer is that the future isn't necessarily fewer project managers. It's project managers spending more time on clients, relationships, delivery and the things that actually require people skills.We also discuss:• What Professional Services Automation (PSA) actually means• AI-native project management software• Vibe coding and B2B software development• Building a product with Lovable• The limitations of AI coding tools• Product management without being a traditional product manager• Product validation and early user feedback• AI and project management• The changing role of Scrum Masters• Why Delivery Managers are becoming more common• People over process• The future of Agile and project delivery• The UK freelance project management market• IR35 and contracting• Why freelancers need to think like business owners• Building a consultancy alongside a SaaS startup▶︎Connect With Michael:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ariafounder/▶︎Ariahttps://ariaplatform.app/▶︎Tickets for Not Another Agile Conference (22 April 2027, Chester Zoo) are on sale.https://www.tickettailor.com/events/notanotheragileconference/2178867▶︎Our Newsletter:https://substack.com/@betweenthestandups▶︎Chapters00:00 – Building an AI-Native PSA Tool01:24 – From Vibe Coding to a Real Product02:20 – What Is Professional Services Automation?03:22 – How AI Is Changing PSA Software05:18 – AI Project Management and Automated Admin06:48 – What an AI Project Management Dashboard Looks Like08:18 – Can You Vibe Code a B2B Product?09:14 – How Vibe Coding Helps Product Development10:17 – Why AI Products Still Need Human Design11:22 – What Do Software Engineers Think About Vibe Coding?12:13 – The Limits of Lovable for Production Software13:22 – The Risks of Building on AI Platforms15:14 – Becoming a Product Manager Without Being One16:29 – How to Validate an AI Product Idea18:08 – PSA vs Project Management Software18:40 – Building a Startup While Running a Consultancy22:02 – Why Project Management Is Becoming Delivery23:41 – Will AI Replace Project Managers?24:48 – People Over Process in the AI Era26:50 – Scrum Masters vs Delivery Managers28:04 – The Problem With Calling Everything AI31:07 – The Reality of the UK Freelance Market and IR3532:02 – Why Freelancers Need to Find Their Own Clients34:36 – Could Freelancers Have Their Own Agents?36:39 – What's Next for the Startup?38:02 – Where to Find ARA and Gold Strategic DeliveryIf you work in project management, Agile, product, delivery, technology or professional services, this episode is worth a watch.Subscribe to Everyday Agile for more conversations about Agile, project management, product, technology, leadership and the reality of getting work delivered.

Agile doesn't become Agile just because you start calling things "sprints."In this episode of the Everyday Agile Podcast, Jac sits down with Lou Matthews, founder of CultureCraft, to talk about company culture, Agile, product thinking, leadership, accountability and what actually helps organisations perform better.We get into some uncomfortable questions about modern Agile and leadership:• Why your "people problem" might actually be a systems problem• Why role clarity and decision rights matter for accountability• The difference between accountability and blame• Why leaders need to model accountability themselves• What psychological safety actually looks like in practice• Why calling something a "sprint" doesn't make it Agile• How Agile terminology can become performative• What MVP actually means — and why people often misunderstand it• How to prioritise when everything feels urgent• Using effort vs impact to make better prioritisation decisions• Turning hypotheses into observations and evidence• Why employee surveys aren't the solution on their own• How growing businesses can improve their systems and leadership capability• Why leaders need to stop being too involved in the workOne of the biggest themes running through the conversation is that many organisational problems are symptoms rather than root causes. What looks like a people problem can often come back to role clarity, decision-making, accountability, leadership capability or the systems surrounding the team.We also get into one of Lou's biggest Agile frustrations: the way words like "sprint" and "MVP" can be adopted without understanding the thinking and discipline behind them.▶︎About Lou Matthews Lou Matthews is the founder of CultureCraft, helping scaling businesses build culture as an operating system for predictable performance.▶︎Connect with Louhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lou-matthews-547654163/https://www.culturecraft.team/ ▶︎Tickets for Not Another Agile Conference (22 April 2027, Chester Zoo) are on sale.\https://www.tickettailor.com/events/notanotheragileconference/2178867▶︎Our Newsletter:https://substack.com/@betweenthestandups ▶︎Chapters00:00 Intro: Lou Matthews on Culture, Agile & Leadership01:14 Building High-Performing Organisations02:24 How to Unlock Growth Through Company Culture03:25 Why Culture Should Be Treated Like a Product05:05 Building a Business and Scaling a Team06:30 From HR Network to Startup Founder07:40 What Building a Business Teaches You About Leadership09:05 The People Problem That Isn't Really a People Problem10:35 Role Clarity, Decision Rights & Accountability11:02 What Does Good Product Thinking Look Like?12:13 Why Employee Surveys Often Fail12:57 Product Thinking, Prioritisation & Effort vs Impact14:12 Two Things Every Growing Business Needs14:39 Automating Your Business Systems16:24 Building Leadership Capability in Growing Teams17:20 Accountability vs Blame: What's the Difference?19:21 Why Leaders Need to Model Accountability20:36 Psychological Safety in the Workplace22:46 The Problem With Performative Agile23:15 Why Calling Everything a "Sprint" Doesn't Make You Agile25:11 When Agile Becomes Just More Pressure27:12 The Problem With Misunderstanding MVP28:18 What Does MVP Actually Mean?29:45 How to Prioritise When Everything Feels Urgent30:43 What Is a Skip-Level Meeting?31:40 Turning Hypotheses Into Evidence32:40 Backcasting, Effort & Impact33:00 Using EOS to Prioritise and Stay Focused34:25 Productivity, Burnout & Running a Business35:59 Why External Accountability Matters37:20 Quickfire: The Most Overused Business Phrases38:40 One Thing Leaders Should Stop Doing39:20 How to Improve Your Company Culture40:23 Final Thoughts
