1
I'm the kind of person who believes in people, in alignment, in energy, in momentum.
2
I've studied humans.
3
I've studied conflict management.
4
If you bring the right mindset into a room, the outcomes follow.
5
That's not a philosophy.
6
That's leadership.
7
Okay, team.
8
I love the energy.
9
Let's remember why we're here.
10
Epic One, Product Order One.
11
Walk us to your status.
12
Yeah. So, basically, nothing's working.
13
Okay, let's unpack that.
14
When you say nothing, what specifically is not working?
15
Well, as I explained last week, the supplier dropped out, and the team that owned the core of our platform quit.
16
Good clarity.
17
Any blockers?
18
All blockers?
19
And have you written that in the comment field what specifically is blocked?
20
Everything.
21
Okay, I'll write it for you this time, next time you write it.
22
And the trend?
23
Down?
24
Downward trend.
25
Good!
26
See, it's not that hard to fill out.
27
Product owner 2, Epic 2.
28
I see yellow here.
29
Talk me through that optimism.
30
Yellow means there has been an action.
31
Yep.
32
Well, I talked to the new dev team.
33
Great. That was the action.
34
Product owner platform, what did they say?
35
They can't replace the old core model team.
36
So, that was an action.
37
And yellow is correct.
38
And...Trend?
39
They seem happy, so...
40
Maybe up?
41
Product on our platform, you've been in this agile cycle for how many months?
42
If it's yellow and trending up, we need a comment!
43
Well, you know, nothing is clear yet.
44
Then right, nothing is clear yet.
45
On the board.
46
You know, if we would have switched to the Linear six months ago, we would have caught the dependency issue before it compounded.
47
It has a feature specifically for it.
48
Is that a tool suggestion?
49
Product -owner templates?
50
Tool suggestions are part of another round.
51
Well, it would have flagged the cross -team block.
52
Yeah, that's really interesting.
53
And also not part of this meeting!
54
Who's next?
55
Why are we having a status sync if all of the statuses are marked red?
56
Excuse me, are you questioning the exercise?
57
No, I'm just saying everything's blocked, you know, and just writing something down is...
58
I mean, it's interesting, but maybe it doesn't necessarily help us...
59
Are you questioning the exercise?
60
No. I've been in rooms you people wouldn't believe.
61
Platforms on fire, 40 million users gone on a Tuesday.
62
I've watched Sirius C's evaporate in 72 hours.
63
All those problems will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
64
Look, the board doesn't lie, the board just reflects.
65
And right now, the board is asking us to reflect, so let's reflect, okay?
66
I think the board is just in pain and wants to leave this company.
67
Next, epic.
68
Did any of these companies that he mentioned ever make it?
69
Why are we doing the status sync?
70
Look, all of this is read because the core module isn't ready for months.
71
What's their status?
72
Core module?
73
That's a different team.
74
That's out of scope for this meeting.
75
But without the core modules, we can't work on anything.
76
We had an inner art sync with the other agile coaches that is being checked as a separate work stream.
77
Do they know we're blocked on them?
78
I'm sure their board reflects that.
79
Have you checked their board?
80
Product owner templates!
81
Today's about our board and our journey!
82
Maybe we can just fix this if we just sit down with the other team and just talk.
83
Hold it for the retrospective.
84
We're still in status sync.
85
Huh?
86
Great timing!
87
We're now officially in a retrospective!
88
I had one more status item.
89
Yeah, that belonged to the status sync.
90
We're now in the retrospective.
91
Can you say retrospective?
92
Retrospective?
93
feelings first see a lot of mildly sad emojis here who wants to start
94
seriously why do we keep doing these status sync meetings the CTO doesn't care the dependency is blocked
95
there's nothing we can do in this room
96
I've been in rooms you people wouldn't believe
97
platform outage on launch where the ceo learned about it from twitter
98
i have watched ceo pet projects gone in a weekend all
99
those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain
100
but as long as we keep going
101
and we keep believing this team this company
102
they don't know the ceo killed the project two months ago
103
they don't know the new dev team has never been on boarded
104
they don't even know how much i get paid for this they just need to keep moving
105
if the team fills out this board we deliver
106
if we deliver i deliver
107
if i deliver the process delivers the process delivers the manager who hired me delivers
108
if the manager who hired me delivers this meeting delivers
109
If they know, they stop believing
110
If they stop believing, they stop trying
111
If they stop trying, everything stops
112
And if everything stops, someone has to explain why
113
As long as they continue working, it can be tracked
114
And as long as it can be tracked, it can be reported
115
And as long as it can be reported, it can be defended
116
And as long as it can be defended, it can continue
117
And as long as it can continue, I have a job
118
Linear, the new project management system that's hip on the market.
119
Thank you Linear for sponsoring this video.

- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: clarity /ˈklæɹ.ɪ.ti/, agile /ˈæd͡ʒ.aɪl/, evaporate /ɪˈvæp.ə.ɹeɪt/, unpack /ʌnˈpæk/

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
