"We don’t accumulate Risk We Retire Risk"
Nice inspirational quote for a Linkedin post but you basically said nothing in particular.
Do you do matrixes, do you invlove the whole team, do you involve the clients or upper management, do you look at risk only at the start of project, before every sprint, during the daily meetings, etc. , etc.?
This is what people wish to know. Otherwise, they'll be a Nike T-shirt saying "Just do it".

I think the most significant meaning of risk managament in scrum is that iteratively validate our assumptions by frequently releasing increment, please talk about how to start agile transformation in an enterprise company by using evidence base management in details.

Good session team.. can you please list some of the examples of risk management 🙏

[kensaiyeahyeah]

I thought Todd had a "How you doin'...?" kind of voice. Be on your guard, Ryan! 😀

Love the videos, Love the narrative "Retire the Risk, not accumulate". But there are risks and issues which take longer to address or require managing/tracking. Is that ok? Do you manage it in a traditional RAID log (Like i do) is there a better way to do it?

[benarcher]

Great show guys! Thank you
Also, can you please mention a couple of real examples with respect to risk management 👍

[Wunderkind]

Great episodes guys! Love listening to them. Just in addition to Risk and your comment 'retire the risk' would you be able to elaborate if there is any way to demonstrate RAID log within scrum?
