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.

Troika Consulting: "Should my team use longer Sprints when they are unable to deliver an increment?"
One of our patrons, Chris Davies, shares with us a challenge that he and his team are facing. What should you do when your team is unable to deliver done and working software within a Sprint? When is it okay to lengthen a Sprint? And what considerations come into play.
In this episode we use the Liberating Structure "Troika Consulting" to offer help. In true Troika-fashion, Chris first shares his challenge. We then explore the challenge with Chris with some open-ended questions. Then, we start exchanging ideas, suggestions and questions for 10 minutes while Chris listens. Afterwards, Chris shares some of his takeaways. Although our ideas are based on many assumptions, the idea of Troika is that simply listening to other people talk about your challenge can already generate ideas that you haven't considered before. Learn more about Troika Consulting here.
