21. Jayanthan Bhattathiripad on introducing yourself, XP and Scrum, and waste

In this episode, we talk with Jayanthan Bhattatharapad. Jay has a very interesting way of introducing himself to his teams and organization, and I asked him to demo it to us. In doing so, he shares not only this interesting practice, but lots of tidbits about how he sees leadership. We had a fascinating discussion, can't wait to share it with you!

* Jay's career journey from consulting at ThoughtWorks to Expedia, to his recent role at Cisco.

* The importance of mental health and psychological safety in teams.

* Why Extreme Programming is harder (and better) than Scrum.

* The impact of lean principles on software development and tackling waste.

* The influence of cultural differences on communication and leadership.
