The Liberators Podcast
This is the podcast of The Liberators. Our mission is to unleash organizations and teams all across the globe from ineffective product development. We rely on insights from scientific research as much as possible so that you don't have to take our word for it.
In each episode, we look at the challenges faced by Agile teams, software teams, and product teams. We discuss relevant research, share our experiences, or challenge existing beliefs. Each episode ends with practical and actionable recommendations on what you can do with your teams.
Most episodes are written and presented by Christiaan Verwijs. Our music was written and performed by Jasper Huiskamp a.k.a. Basanite. Post-production by Jasper Huiskamp. The music for episodes before 91 is licensed from Yummy Sounds.

Scrum Conversations: Barry and Christiaan talk about why Sprint Goals are not optional in Scrum
Sprint Goals are one of the more elusive parts of the Scrum Framework. Although most teams understand why they matter, there is usually this idea of "that won't work here" or "we'll do that when the rest of Scrum is working".
In this podcast, Barry and Christiaan talk about their experience with Sprint Goals. They also explore how Scrum Master can actually use the lack of Sprint Goals, and the underlying reasons, to start improving the empirical process. Rather than considering them as optional practices, Barry and Christiaan explain how they are a critical and essential part that ties all the elements of Scrum together. They also offer a number of tips.
