Less Method. More Meaning.


The world of Product Discovery and Creation is becoming increasingly challenging due to mistakes and missed opportunities that are prevalent in agile teams, large-scale Scrum and all other agile frameworks. History has shown that when organisations try and scale their product development to more than one cross-functional team, mistakes are made that cut short many chances of getting all possible benefits.

The route of this for many is the need for more attention paid to the incredible advancements in Product Management driven by hordes of professional Product People who prove that making their customers happier is not a pipe dream but a hard and fast reality.

This podcast exists to explore all topics related to Product and Agility and Coaching.

How do you marry the agile principles with Product discovery?

Is it really possible to have hundreds of cross-functional teams (or Product Teams) all working from an effectively prioritised single Product Backlog and a dedicated Product Owner?

How can you embrace continuous improvement and empirical process control for your product, people and processes?

Ever wondered how to overcome the problems people face when trying to scale the Product Owner role and how it relates to Product Management and Product Teams?

Baffled by how to define a product in such a way that enables Feature Teams (aka Product Teams) and why doing wrong means you will only ever be stuck with technical teams?

Scrum Teams are not compatible with modern product management techniques.

Want to know what Product Focus means and how the right focus makes creating a shippable product less painful?

Need to get your head around how to blend modern product management techniques with Sprint Planning and Sprint Reviews to achieve Product Increments that cover the entire product?

This podcast's original focus was on Scaling Scrum vs Single-Team Scrum and how organisations can reap the benefits of Scrum when working on a larger product but still keeping a single product backlog. We found many Product People liked what we said, and then the penny dropped. This isn't a podcast about scaling Scrum or the limitations of single-team Scrum.

This podcast is for Product People & agile advocates who coach or get their hands dirty with Product creation.

We promise there is no Taboo topic that we will not explore on your behalf.

We aim to transcend the conversations about a single team, Daily Scrums, Scrum Masters and the double-diamond and bring everyone together into responsible teams dedicated to working on the entire product to make their customers happier and their lives more fulfilling.

Come and join us on our improvement towards perfection, and give us your feedback (we have a strong customer focus, too), and who knows, perhaps we will discover the magic wand that we can wave over all the broken agile and sudo-products to create a more resilient and adaptable future by bringing the worlds of Product, Agility and coaching together.

This podcast has the conversations and insights you need.

  • AI Revolution: The Journey of Bobcats Coding (with Barbara Varga-Baráth & Barbara Fazekas)
    2025/10/02

    Send us a text

    In this episode, Ben Maynard is joined by Barbara Varga Baráth CEO and Barbara Fazekas Chief Delivery Officer of Bobcats Coding, the AI-first product studio born from a coding bootcamp network and market testing. From Taekwondo mats and finance spreadsheets to context engineering pipelines and lightning-fast MVPs, the Barbaras share how they have navigated the AI wave without the hype goggles.

    Together, they explore the difference between AI features and AI-enabled delivery, why context engineering is the new craft, and how an AI native culture can compress time to value from months to weeks. Expect candid takes on investor pressure, LinkedIn-level myths, multi-agent workflows with humans in the loop, and what it takes to ship responsibly at speed. No buzzword bingo. Just hard-won lessons for product and engineering leaders.

    What You'll Learn:

    • AI first, not AI only. When to build AI into the product vs using it to accelerate delivery, discovery, and ops
    • Context engineering 101. How slicing information, model selection, and orchestration beat just prompting it
    • Speed with judgement. 48-hour micro sprints, feature-first demos, and hitting conference-ready MVPs in weeks
    • Expectation management. Educating clients beyond LinkedIn headlines and anchoring on business outcomes
    • Culture over tooling. Why AI native mindsets, especially from Gen Z talent, change throughput and decision-making
    • Policy in practice. Navigating compliance realities without stalling innovation

    Key Takeaways:

    • AI won't replace engineers. It superpowers the ones who design context and systems
    • The biggest ROI today is often operational. Faster proposals, sharper research, leaner delivery
    • Feature first, human in the loop beats big bang roadmaps in a fast-moving AI landscape
    • Organisations that embed AI native habits like experimentation, automation, and knowledge sharing will outpace those that don't
    • Hype is loud. Usefulness is quiet. Ship small, learn fast, scale what works

    Who Is This For:

    • Product leaders under pressure to add AI who'd rather ship value
    • Engineering managers exploring multi-agent and human-in-the-loop workflows
    • Founders and execs building an AI native culture that actually moves the needle
    • Anyone tired of AI theatre and ready for practical playbooks

  • Agility over Agile (with Jag Johal)
    2025/06/26

    Send us a text

    In this episode, Ben Maynard is joined by Jag Johal, Director of Agile Transformation at Jaguar Land Rover, for a refreshingly candid conversation on what it really takes to move the needle in a complex, scaled business—and why it’s time to focus on agility, not just Agile.

    With a background in HR and deep experience navigating change in global environments, Jag brings a grounded, human-centric view to transformation. Together, they explore how humility, curiosity, and systems thinking trump frameworks, certifications, and buzzwords.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck in the noise of agile theatre or questioned whether the industry’s obsession with methods is missing the point, this episode is a powerful reminder that sustainable change comes from purposeful connection, not flashy labels.

    Jag shares insights from the automotive frontline—where software and hardware must dance in sync—and how JLR is tackling the real-world challenges of integrating agility across disciplines, mindsets, and legacy systems. No smoke and mirrors, just honest lessons in leading with learning.

    🧠 What You’ll Learn

    • Why "agility" is proving more valuable than capital-A Agile in large enterprises
    • How a humanistic, data-informed approach drives meaningful change
    • The role of courageous conversations in surfacing what really matters
    • Why learning from failure can be the most reliable transformation data point
    • How quiet, steady cultural shifts often win over grand transformations

    💥 Key Takeaways

    “When agility is no longer a ‘thing’, that’s when you know it’s working.”
    • Agility belongs to everyone, not just Agile roles
    • Great transformation isn’t loud—it’s embedded, systemic, and human
    • Connecting what works across an enterprise is more powerful than starting from scratch
    • Passion, humility, and data make the best transformation toolkit

    🎯 Who This Is For

    • Change-makers looking beyond frameworks to real impact
    • Agile practitioners craving a more authentic path forward
    • Leaders of complex orgs seeking subtle but scalable transformation
    • Anyone tired of the agile show and ready for meaningful progress

    This isn’t Agile 2.0—it’s a call to come back to what matters. Tune in!

  • The Sriracha Sauce of High-Performance Teams: Adam Josephs on Risk Up Front
    2025/05/22

    Send us a text

    In this episode, host Ben Maynard is joined by Adam Josephs, the co-author of Risk Up Front, to explore the gritty truth behind high-performance teams and why rigour, not ruthlessness, is the key ingredient in complex, high-stakes environments.

    If you’ve ever wondered why your team’s best intentions still lead to delays, late changes, or misaligned delivery, this conversation offers a refreshing and practical dive into the principles of execution discipline. Adam shares his “Sriracha Sauce” approach to teamwork—spicy, precise, and exactly what’s missing from your current playbook.

    Drawing from decades of experience consulting for companies like Goldman Sachs and Microsoft, Adam discusses how upgraded conversations about commitment, integrity, and risk can transform how we lead, plan, and deliver. Plus, we get a sneak peek into Ruffy, the risk coaching AI that sounds a lot like your favourite comedian.

    🧠 What You’ll Learn

    • Why late changes—not bad intentions—derail most projects
    • How to uncover “don’t know you don’t know” risks through structured conversations
    • What it takes to bring clarity and ownership to team commitments
    • The power of specificity in turning worries into action
    • How engineering integrity into the small moments transforms culture



    💥 Key Takeaways

    • “Without rigour, you don’t get performance—you get chaos dressed as collaboration.”
    • Accountability is a structure, not a personality trait
    • Integrity starts with turning up on time and knowing what you’ve committed to
    • Small acts of discipline create big shifts in team behaviour



    🎯 Who This Is For

    • Agile and product coaches working in complex, fast-moving environments
    • Leaders looking to drive performance without micromanagement
    • Product professionals who want fewer surprises and stronger delivery
    • Transformation agents seeking practical tools to surface and address execution risks
