Episode 206
We could talk about the core Scrum values ‘til the cows come home — Focus, Openness, Commitment, Courage, and Respect! HOWEVER, what does it look like to reflect and act on those core values from the perspective of an ally? Sarah Rose and John share their own experiences as allies and times they wished they had an ally. Through those experiences, they analyze the critical impact of recognizing different voices on a team as a way to make sure no team member remains invisible.

- Be transparent about where we're at. Only record show when we're both ready.
- Tell me where your head is at. This will help us adapt to our moods and tones.
- Share the mic. Push for equity of voice in recording and editing.
- Respect each other's privacy.
- Use 'I'. Avoid broad generalizations.
- Speak your truth. Stay positive, but honest.
- Ask WHY. If something's unclear, we push each other to clarify.
