I always like to keep up on the latest new educational and informative blog posts from Scrum.org, and this time around, there are some truly amazing picks from the team.

This time around, there are three articles I felt were a good reach (or, watch, as the case might be), with Mary Iqbal’s first two both being quite important with How to Handle Unplanned Work in Scrum and 5 Reasons why Refining your Product Backlog is Worth the Time (that second one we actually spent some time working through recently and this would have been useful to have on hand!)

Rounding things off, I was a big fan of Joshua Partogi’s “Improve Your Scrum Team’s Sprint Goal With This Simple Guideline.” Yes, it was a bit clickbaity of a headline but, for anyone who has let their Sprint Goal get out of hand (every one of us on occasion,) this is a great way to help focus it!
