“Agile isn’t about following the rules. It’s about delivering real value together.” In this episode, host Rebecca Kalogeris speaks with Jenny Martin, seasoned facilitator, coach, and creator of the OOPSI framework. While Agile has transformed software development over the past two decades, many organizations struggle to scale it effectively or to see the benefits they were promised.

Jenny explains why so many teams fall into the trap of focusing on ceremonies and tools instead of the principles that actually drive results, like collaboration, value delivery, and rapid feedback.

She introduces OOPSI—short for Outcomes, Outputs, Process, Scenarios, Inputs—a lightweight, non-prescriptive framework that helps teams break down complex problems, align on value, and accelerate delivery. Jenny shares how OOPSI can resolve common Agile pitfalls like “water-scrum-fall,” where work still flows through waterfall-style handoffs despite sprint-based development.

If your teams don’t understand user stories, are unclear on priorities, or struggle to collaborate across functions, this conversation offers a practical path to restoring focus, alignment, and energy in Agile.

“If you don’t own your pricing strategy, you’re leaving money – and customers – on the table.”

In this episode, host Rebecca Kalogeris sits down with Marcos Rivera, founder of Pricing IO and author of Street Pricing, to unpack one of the most overlooked opportunities in SaaS: building a pricing strategy that matches the value your product delivers.

A former product leader turned pricing expert, Marcos shares the most common pricing mistakes SaaS companies make, from lazy segmentation and low-value framing to treating pricing as an afterthought. He outlines a better path forward: one rooted in deep customer understanding, thoughtful packaging, and continuous alignment between price and perceived value.

If you’ve ever launched a great product only to watch it struggle to sell, or you’ve relied on guesswork when it came time to price, it’s time to stop winging it. This episode will show you how.

“AI agents aren’t replacing humans—they’re freeing us to do more human work.”

In this episode, host Rebecca Kalogeris sits down with Dan Corbin, longtime Pragmatic instructor and AI course creator, to demystify one of the fastest-emerging technologies in product management: AI agents.

Dan explains what makes agents different from other tools like ChatGPT, why they matter, and how product and marketing teams can begin using them today.

Together, they explore practical use cases across the product lifecycle, including how AI agents can automate repetitive work, analyze support tickets, and even assist in discovery and prioritization. Dan also shares advice on how to structure your AI efforts: starting small, centralizing development, and always keeping humans in the loop.

If you’re curious about where AI agents fit into your strategy (and how to avoid the hype), this episode is your roadmap.
