In this Co-pilot episode of Agile Driven Impact, hosts Diane and Erich are joined by Rob Hatch — executive coach, trusted advisor to CEOs and senior leaders, and author of Attention! and Success Frames — to challenge one of the most deeply held assumptions in continuous improvement: that we learn best from failure.

Rob makes the case that what teams actually need is a deliberate practice of examining what went right — the specific decisions, behaviors, and conditions that drove results. Without that, teams dismiss their wins as "just doing the job" and miss the patterns that would make success repeatable.

In this conversation, Rob breaks down what a Success Frame is, how to build one, and how Agile teams can bring that lens to their retrospectives — shifting from failure analysis to something more energizing and more useful.

If your retros spend more time on what went wrong than what to protect, this episode is for you.

Evolving your work, accelerating your impact

In this Pit Stop episode of Agile Driven Impact, hosts Diane and Erich tackle one of the most common challenges facing teams with big missions: you have an important goal, everyone is working hard, but nobody really knows if you're winning. The fix isn't a better big goal — it's adding the layer underneath it.

Diane and Erich walk through how to bridge the gap between long-term product goals and the day-to-day work your team is actually doing, using sprint goals as the connective tissue. When teams have a clear, achievable focus for each sprint, something shifts — progress becomes visible, milestones become real, and small wins start to build the momentum that carries a team all the way to the finish line.

If your team is working toward something big and struggling to feel like they're getting closer, this episode is your starting point.

In this Co-pilot episode of Agile Driven Impact, hosts Diane and Erich are joined by Dr. Jessica Crowley, Co-Founder of Agileon and Registered Scrum Trainer, to explore why making work visible isn't just a best practice — it's the prerequisite for everything else.

Jessica brings firsthand experience from large-scale transformations, including a rail industry client who discovered they had five times more open projects than their actual capacity. The problem wasn't effort. The work was simply invisible.

Whether you're running a grant-funded program or leading an enterprise transformation, this episode gives you a practical starting point.
