I Taught Agile to a Firefighter — This Conversation Will Change How You See Scrum

What happens when you teach Agile to someone who makes life-or-death decisions every day?

In this powerful one-on-one coaching session, I sit down with a professional firefighter — and what starts as a simple training call turns into one of the most eye-opening Agile conversations I’ve ever had.

We break down the Scrum roles using real fireground command structures, dive deep into velocity, story points, and Kanban, and connect Agile principles to real-world teamwork, urgency, and leadership under pressure.

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned Scrum Master, this episode will reframe how you understand Agile — and why the best teams don’t need permission to take action when things get hot.

💡 Topics We Cover:

• Who’s really in charge on an Agile team?

• What firefighting teaches us about decentralized decision-making

• Story points vs. hours — the real reason we use them

• Burn down charts, velocity, Kanban boards — made simple

• Why collaboration beats control (in sprints and in smoke)

👀 If You’ve Ever Thought:

• “Scrum sounds good on paper, but what about in the real world?”

• “I still don’t get story points or velocity.”

• “How do I lead without being the bottleneck?”

This conversation is for you.
