Season 2 Episode 5: Allison Bacher

Julian Tedstone Season 2 Episode 5

In this energising and honest episode finale, Jules and Allison dig into the real-world dynamics of agility in practice—beyond the buzzwords. From unpacking the myth of self-organization to naming the creeping dangers of technical debt, they explore what truly drives high-performing teams.

Together, they take on:

  • Why self-organising teams aren’t free fall
  • The difference between agile theater and meaningful agility
  • How technical debt quietly erodes momentum and morale
  • When Kanban works, when Scrum matters, and when neither is enough
  • MVPs, Lean Startup thinking, and the trap of stopping too soon
  • The rare cases where Waterfall makes more sense

It’s a sharp, no-spin conversation full of grounded insights for leaders, practitioners, and anyone navigating the messy middle of digital delivery. Whether you’re deep in delivery or just trying to cut through the noise, this episode leaves you with clarity, challenge, and a reminder: agility is a discipline, not a trend.
