Bye Bye Backlog Hijacker

One thing lots of agile or scrum teams have in common is that they experience carry over work. Sometimes, we can do it and still survive and meet our goals. But if carry over work becomes the norm and we are unable to get out of the trend, it is problematic for us. There are several different culprits that lead to carry over work, but none is worse than the backlog hijacker. This episode is great for agile leaders, scrum masters, dev teams, software managers and of course the Product Owner! We'll explore some ways to diagnose and triage this problem we have and learn how to say bye bye to our backlog hijacker! Thank you all for your continued support and sharing the podcast! I love being your Practical Agile Coach!
