Our favorite quotes from the recap:

From the Scrum Master & community:

“The Daily Scrum is like a canary in the coal mine. If the team isn’t having a good experience there, it probably means something else is broken in how they’re working.” 

From the Product Owner community:

“We need to find communities that are focused on generosity, not being right or righteous”

In this recap video, Richard, Peter and Angie summarize some of the key points from the monthly community Zoom sessions.
