SPaMCAST 756 welcomes back Paul Gibbons. In this visit, we discuss his new book Change Myths: The Professional’s Guide to Separating Sense from Nonsense which he co-authored with Tricia Kennedy. I have described Paul’s new book as a Trojan horse. While it dispels myths it more importantly provides the tools for critical thinking which will allow you to tackle new myths as they appear.

Next SPaMCAST 

SPaMCAST 757 will begin an arc on critical thinking. The interview in this week’s podcast has caused me to begin to explore critical thinking and why the idea is important for agile coaches. 

We will also have a visit from Susan Parente who brings her Not A Scrumdamentalist column to the podcast.
