Re: Topic(s) for a May Gathering?

[RHunter]

No suggestions yet for May.

Anyone planning a presentation for Agile2016 or other conference (or know someone who is) that might want to use the May gathering for a practice run?

Would anyone have experience with the poor product owners & how to overcome the messiness without getting involved in politics?  Ha Ha - or is it even possible? 

[Jarrod Leder]

Or better yet if you're a business analyst who doesn't have PO authority, but the PO is virtually nonexistent!

[David Allen]

I have worked with a range of Product Owners (POs) from disengaged, to disruptive, to highly engaged and effective.

Sorry to tell you but it is a political business. Politics is about people, organization, and rules. And if there is not someone with the courage to deal with it directly, it festers (as you probably already know). 

Like all people-related problems, any one behavior can have different causes, so simplistic rules can be misleading and even counter-productive. For example, is a product owner disruptive because they don't know how to do the job of PO? If so, patient and guided education can be very effective. Or do they have deeper interpersonal issue and have difficulty interacting harmoniously in any of their roles? That's a different problem and calls for a different solution.

A good scrum master can resolve the former problem by providing adequate education to a willing PO who is unintentionally disruptive by lack of knowledge. Only a good resource manager, doing their job, can resolve the latter issue.

Diagnosing the root causes accurately is the first step. I wish you well.

Rod,

I may have a product owner coach who may want to come and perhaps lead a round table discussion on this. It looks like there is interest. Shall I ask her?

Also, what is the date? The email I see on my phone is July 14th even though the subject says May.

The next available date for a MNAEG gathering is Thursday, May 12^th.

The next date after that will be July 14th.

Sounds like a possible option to me - others interested?

Sounds like there's critical mass for the PO topic. Thats cool. 

In case that one falls through—or perhaps looking forward to the July slot—I do know that several folks in town are giving talks at Agile2016, and might welcome the opportunity for a practice round.

My talk is listed here: http://sched.co/6ede. It may have a more technical bent than this group favors, but I'd let the group judge that. :-)

I am new to the group.  Can you tell me where and what time you meet?

Thanks.

You hit this spot on, David.  As a former Scrum Master, and current Product Owner, I believe it is critical to get down to the root cause.  I look forward to this session.

Debbie & Sara, 

Here is where to find out the meeting detail.. https://sites.google.com/site/mnagileexperiences/ We meet at St. Thomas (you can find details on the google site).

Rod,  Is the topic going to be Product Owner? I'd like to invite a specific individual if it is.

Thank and I shall attend.

[Creg Schumann]

Sounds like a great topic!  I will likely be able to join.

[Milind Bhat]

It seems there is a lot of interest for the Product Owner discussion.  But Rod may still be looking for a presenter to lead this discussion on May 12.  When would we know for sure the topic for May 12?  (I want to invite someone if it is a PO topic.)
