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.
